Pigee Partner Network vs load boards and courier exchanges

If you look for subcontract delivery work online, you will find plenty of load boards and courier exchanges. Most charge a monthly subscription and ask you to undercut other carriers on an open board. If you want a courier exchange alternative that works the other way round, this guide compares the approaches honestly.

How a typical load board works

• You pay a monthly membership to see available work.
• Jobs are posted to an open board where many carriers compete.
• Price often becomes a race to the bottom.
• You invoice the customer and wait to be paid.

How the Pigee Partner Network works

• Joining and receiving requests costs nothing.
• Requests are emailed only to partners whose routes, services and cargo match.
• You are never shown another carrier’s price, so you quote what the job is worth.
• The customer pays Pigee before collection, and your payout is released once delivery is confirmed.
• Pigee handles customer questions and payment, and keeps customer personal details private.

Which should you use?

Many carriers use both. A load board can help fill a specific empty leg today, while the Pigee Partner Network brings a steady flow of paid, pre-qualified requests without a subscription. Because there is no cost to join, there is little risk in adding Pigee to the mix and seeing how many matched requests you receive.

You keep your own business

Working with Pigee does not change your own customers, rates or brand. The requests you receive are additional work that fits what you already do.
