Using Existing Journeys to Limit Extra Van Traffic

Matching Parcels to Existing Travel

Senders post a delivery request on the marketplace. Verified drivers who are already making the journey accept the parcel. This approach uses vehicles that would travel regardless. No additional van is dispatched for that parcel alone.

Small businesses benefit when a regular supplier route or a local driver heading to the same city can carry the item. The platform matches based on the route details provided by the driver. Distance-based pricing applies from the €9 minimum.

Practical Steps for Senders

• Enter the exact pickup and delivery locations when posting.
• Select a time window that aligns with common travel patterns.
• Review driver profiles that list verified status and route history.

Drivers already on the road avoid empty space in their vehicle. Senders avoid the need to arrange a dedicated collection. Both parties see the full 30 percent platform commission shown before confirming the match.

Benefits for Drivers on Regular Routes

Drivers who commute or make repeat trips between cities can accept parcels without changing their plans. Payment moves into escrow at booking. The driver receives 70 percent once the sender confirms receipt. The remaining 30 percent covers platform operations including matching and escrow handling.

This model suits drivers who travel fixed corridors. They list their journey once and receive offers for parcels that fit the same path. No extra fuel or time is required beyond the original trip.

Reducing Separate Delivery Runs

Dedicated vans often travel only for parcels. When senders use existing journeys the total number of vehicle movements drops. A small business sending weekly stock can combine multiple parcels into one existing trip rather than scheduling several van visits.

Drivers maintain their normal schedule. Senders receive updates through the platform when the driver collects and delivers. The €9 minimum ensures short local transfers remain viable while longer distance matches scale with actual kilometres.

Route Planning Considerations

• Check driver availability on the exact dates needed.
• Confirm parcel size fits the vehicle type listed.
• Note that payment releases only after sender confirmation.

Both senders and drivers can track the status without extra communication outside the platform. The transparent commission split remains visible at every stage.
