An offer is an offering or request for a freight transportation service. Shippers publish their freight and carriers publish their vehicles. When your offer is published, the system automatically searches for offers that match your offer. Users can view published offers as well as post their own.

Freight. You are a shipper and are looking for carriers.
Transport. You have free transport and you are looking for a freight transportation offer.
