Port to hinterland
Whether your freight rides twenty kilometres or crosses a corridor, the carrier bid and the platform fee stay two visible numbers — never one blended price.
How to control your final transport cost
Most price movement comes from cargo readiness and route constraints. These checks keep your quote steady.
- Share accurate weight and loading method to avoid re-pricing after driver arrival.
- Keep pickup windows realistic so verified drivers can bid without adding delay risk.
- Include warehouse access limitations and unloading needs in the first post.
- Use escrow instructions in-platform to keep payment and route accountability aligned.
No broker surprise
You see the carrier bid and the OTTOH GO fee separately, so your decision is based on the full picture.
Protected release
Escrow helps hold payment until delivery milestones are confirmed by the relevant parties.
