For carriers
Earn on journeys you’re already making.
You’re already driving to Antibes, Monaco, Palma or the Hamble. List the space you have left — on the way out and on the way back — and get paid for it.
Why carry with Onshore
Fill the van, not the calendar
Jobs on your route
Shippers book space on runs you’ve listed, or ask for quotes on jobs near your route. You decide what to take.
Paid after delivery
Payment is taken up front and held, so you know the money is there. It’s released 48 hours after delivery.
Return legs count
List the drive back too — laundry, repairs and returns need to get back to shore.

What you need
- Photo ID and a valid driving licence
- Registration documents for each vehicle

Questions
Carrier FAQ
Do I need to be a registered transport company?
You need whatever licences the law requires for the transport you do. In France that generally means registration in the national road-transport register, including for light vans used commercially. In the UK, an operator’s licence is needed for goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. International jobs with vans over 2.5 tonnes need an EU Community licence. If you’re unsure, ask us before you apply.
How much does it cost?
Joining and listing are free. We deduct a platform fee — currently 10% of the booking price — from your payout on completed jobs. The fee is shown before you accept each job.
When do I get paid?
48 hours after you record proof of delivery, or sooner if the shipper confirms receipt. If the shipper reports a problem within 48 hours, the payout is held until it’s resolved. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe.
What if the shipper cancels?
If they cancel 24–48 hours before collection you receive your share of the amount retained; less than 24 hours before, or if they don’t show, you receive your full payout.
Can I carry wine, batteries or other restricted goods?
Wine and spirits must be duty-paid (or moving under a valid ships’-stores procedure run by the supplier). Dangerous goods such as batteries, fuel or gas need ADR qualifications. Marine flares and other explosives are prohibited. See our Terms.
Do I have to accept every request?
No. You choose which jobs to accept. Please respond within 24 hours so shippers can make other plans if needed.
