What Cargopedia is
Cargopedia is a freight exchange connecting businesses with goods to transport and verified carriers. It suggests matching loads or trucks for listed routes and return routes, while email and SMS alerts notify users about matching advertisements. Maps show available loads and trucks. Messaging reaches online members instantly and emails offline members, with image, PDF, Word, and Excel attachments. Route tools calculate distance and cost from average consumption and provide European fuel prices and truck-driving restrictions. An API lets ERP or TMS systems add, modify, upload, or delete load advertisements through GET or POST requests. Companies must confirm identity and pass manual review, and users verify email and phone numbers. Two-factor authentication sends a code for access from a new device. The free plan costs nothing, supports one user and publishing loads or trucks, but excludes search and contact details. Paid plans are listed from €60/mo; the Free plan includes five route calculations, with each extra calculation costing 0.05 EUR.
