We've always had a mixture, some hotshots, some backloads. Just quote on the stuff you're interested in. We can work to make it more obvious what is what. Incidentally, the mt in mtvan comes from (now old) text speak... "mt in Glasgow". i.e. a courier looking for a back load.

No I meant sister site yes... And admin if you want "backloads" on here then go ahead, i'm just warning you that you'll get some negative sh*t...
We welcome constructive feedback only.
As far as i'm concerned a backload is just somene trying to make money off the back of a courier, I very much doubt its a customer paying less and if it is an eBayer then do you really want that kind of work on here getting in the way and confusing the issue?
I think we can be clear about different types of work on offer. I see a backload as a less urgent job which opens up the opportunity for both the vendor and the courier to do well.
There are plenty of exchange sites full of crap so why would you want to be anither one... mtvan should be for sameday urgent proper jobs should it not?
Plenty of couriers I receive emails are looking for both hotshots and backloads.
Edited to add: If backloads are genuinely of no interest then they will attract no quotes and vendors will not bother posting them.
