Question 1

What is Drover?

Accepted Answer

Australia's end-to-end freight platform for carriers: find loads, manage jobs, track, get paid and store your docs, all in one place, instead of juggling five tools.

Question 2

How much does Drover cost? What's the commission?

Accepted Answer

Two options. Get paid through Drover and get the full platform at 3%, paid by the shipper on loads booked through Drover. Or invoice Drover shippers directly at 0%, but without any platform features. Either way, far less than the up-to-around-18% the big loadboards clip.

Question 3

How fast do carriers get paid through Drover?

Accepted Answer

Same day. When you get paid through Drover, you're paid into your bank account the day you deliver. No 2-3 day bank processing wait, and no 30, 60 or 90-day shipper terms.

Question 4

Is Drover just a loadboard?

Accepted Answer

No. Drover replaces the loadboard and the patchwork of tools you use to run the job: booking, dispatch, tracking, payments and paperwork are all built in.

Question 5

Who can join right now?

Accepted Answer

Carriers, owner-operators and fleets. Shippers can join soon. For now the waitlist is carriers only.

Question 6

When does it launch?

Accepted Answer

We're rolling out to waitlist carriers first. Join the list to get early access and founding-member pricing.

Question 7

Where does Drover operate?

Accepted Answer

Australia-wide.

Question 8

How is Drover different from Loadshift, Truckit or Ofload?

Accepted Answer

Lower fees, same-day payments to your bank, and one connected platform instead of a noticeboard. You run the whole job in Drover rather than stitching together separate apps.

Question 9

How does Drover stop carriers undercutting each other?

Accepted Answer

Every carrier goes through business, compliance and insurance checks before they can quote on the marketplace. Direct invoicing doesn't change that — it only changes how you get paid.

Question 10
