A new digital freight platform that connects hauliers, logistics providers and freight customers across the UK has been launched by The Road Haulage Association (RHA) in partnership with Haulage Hub Technologies.
RHA Exchange is designed to help RHA members share capacity, post and find loads and manage work in a secure and transparent environment.
Members can post loads in real time, match them with verified hauliers, negotiate terms and manage bookings, all through one interface, helping them to reduce empty running.
“This partnership is about giving our members access to modern tools that make their businesses more efficient and competitive,” said Richard Smith, RHA managing director. “We’ve listened to what our members need: more work, more visibility, less empty running and a trusted environment to trade loads. The RHA Exchange delivers on that.”
Key benefits include:
• Business growth opportunities: smaller operators gain access to new work and partnerships that were previously hard to reach.
• Access to a trusted national network: every participant is an RHA member.
• Reduced empty miles: smart load matching helps hauliers find backloads and fill capacity more efficiently.
• Improved visibility and communication: real-time updates, integrated messaging and load tracking make collaboration seamless.
• Compliance and documentation tools: the platform helps users manage key paperwork, insurance and safety requirements digitally.
• Sustainability impact: fewer empty journeys mean lower emissions and better environmental performance across the sector.
The system also incorporates optional analytics tools to help operators monitor performance, identify trends and make data driven decisions.
