What to ask a firm before you agree
  • Is your price with or without VAT? Several of the published prices behind the figure on this page are quoted before VAT.
  • What does your price include? Published prices for this work are usually quoted per low loader or abnormal load job; check yours is quoted the same way before you compare.
  • When could you start, and how long will it take? Firms are told when you said you need it; ask them to confirm.
  • Who will do the work? Ask whether it is the firm's own staff or a subcontractor.
What happens after you send it
  1. Your enquiry is checked for spam and its contact details are checked so a firm can reach you.
  2. Worklanded chooses up to three heavy haulage and machinery transport operators that cover the area. A firm sees the job and the area before it decides to take it.
  3. As your details go to each firm, we email you its name, with a link that stops any more firms receiving them.
  4. The firms contact you directly. You agree the price and the work with them; Worklanded takes no part of that.

Every step is how the system works, not a promise: read how it works for you, or how this compares with Bark.
