All messages are instant, functioning just like direct messaging. You need to be logged into your dashboard to read and reply to messages. Please note that the Customer also needs to be logged into their dashboard in order to reply to your messages.  

Yes, you may ask the customer any question pertaining to the scope of work. For one thing, it is YOUR responsibility to ask questions that can affect the quote. For example; weight and height restrictions, a number of trips, distance from the collection area to the vehicle, will a shuttle vehicle be required, are there stairs or elevators at either point, etc.

It is important that you let the customer know if you are running late. Communication plays a major role in the success of the jobs. Make sure you are communicating with the customer. Punctuality is also key when it comes to Transport.

Should there be a change to the scope of work, it is up to the transporter and customer to negotiate the cost. Please note if you do charge the customer extra on more than two occasions, Goload will review your profile and may suspend your account until further notice.    

There is no Cancellation. Please check our Terms and Conditions with regards to Cancellations.

You may remove any transport service bid that you make at any time prior to acceptance. Not only may you not cancel a transport agreement once your bid has been accepted. But if you do, or if you do not arrive at the agreed-upon pick-up location within one hour of the agreed-upon time (a “no-show”/ failure to show), we may, in our discretion:

• list the canceled job on your profile;
• limit any email- or SMS-notifications informing you of new jobs.
• downgrade you one PSP bracket; or
• invoice you for a job cancellation fee equal to our booking fee. The cancellation fee must be paid to Goload within 30 days or we are entitled to suspend or terminate this agreement.

There are two payment options:

• Paid by the customer through the following options: Cash on delivery, Eft, Debit Card or Credit Card.
• Tradesafe:  An Escrow service that safeguards both the buyer and seller.

Tradesafe is a licensed online financial Escrow and payments service provider. It protects the buyer’s funds (the client) in a trust until the seller (Transporter) successfully completes the job. Once the buyer is satisfied with the service, then the funds will be released to the seller. Tradesafe will require your; ID number, cell number, full name, and banking details in order to make use of their service.      

No, Goload does not charge the Transporter any commission. In other words, the bid amount you enter is the same amount you will be paid as a transporter. Goload is totally impartial and favors neither the 'buyer' or the 'seller'. 

The Transporter is responsible for getting his payment from the Customer once the job is complete.

• Prohibited items: Do not load fire-arms, explosives, flammable liquids, counterfeits, banned substances, etc. Check our prohibited items list.
• Payments: For larger jobs or if you worry about receiving payments, then we strongly recommend making use of Tradesafe. This will guarantee that the payment is made up front. Then all you need to do is complete the work successfully and get a good review.
• Security Features: Include a tracking unit to your vehicle. For the purpose of added security should something happen to your vehicle.

To report any suspected violations, fraud or profanity, please click on the Red Flag next to the posting. You can also email [email protected]. Goload works extremely hard to provide a safe market place to its members. We do, however, also rely on Community members to assist in eliminating misconduct.  

If you have Goods In Transit Insurance, you can claim from your Insurance. If you do not have Goods In Transit Insurance, you will have to come to a resolution with the Customer. This may lead to unpleasantness.

GIT insurance is not necessary, but in order to qualify as a Preferred Service Provider, it is mandatory. Customers prefer to deal with Transporters with GIT and this will increase your chance of winning more jobs.

Once you have booked a job, we strongly advise you to create a document with the customer. In this document outline each person's responsibility in the transport agreement. This will help to prevent the need for a dispute.

A dispute must be handled between the Transporter and the Customer directly. Both parties must be willing to talk things through and come up with an amicable solution to resolve the issue.

Either party may inform the other in writing if there is a dispute. The parties must first try to negotiate to end the dispute. Then enter into mediation if negotiation fails, and finally, go to arbitration if mediation fails. If they go to arbitration, they will agree in writing on a recognized and appropriate forum for arbitration that is accessible to both parties.

Always speak calmly and rationally to the client. This will give you a better chance of resolving the dispute.

It is important to ask customers for a review. Reviews are a great opportunity to build your profile, get your name out there and win more jobs. Having great reviews goes a long way in securing additional work. Reviews will also help you to advance to a higher Preferred Service Provider level.
