Everything the app does, written out properly: install it, search, read the flags, bid, set your daily alerts, and what your limits mean. No jargon, nothing skipped.
LoadLens finds loads for UK courier drivers on Courier Exchange, helps you quote and bid, and keeps watch on the routes you drive. It reads each load before you quote and flags the problems: missing weight, backload rates on a job posted as direct, 60 and 90 day payment terms, anything below your floor.
The app has five tabs: Search, Dashboard, Bids, Your fleet and Wallet. Everything runs from one account, and nothing is ever sent to Courier Exchange without your tap.
Open app.loadlens.co.uk in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. It then works like a native app: full screen, opens from your home screen, and remembers where you were.
Open the same address in Chrome. You’ll get an install prompt, or you can use Install app from the browser menu. Same app, same account.
It runs in the browser, no install needed. Chrome and Edge can add it as an app from the install icon in the address bar if you want it pinned.
Start a search on the Search tab. You pick a start location, a radius, your vehicle size and the day: Today, Tomorrow or Any time.
You can add a destination as well as a start, which searches a route in both directions. That is how you look for return loads: a job heading back the way you’re already going.
Results stream in while the search runs, so the first loads usually appear within the first minute. You don’t wait for the whole board to be read. Keep the results screen open until the search finishes.
Results stay available for 15 minutes and then clear. Anything you bid on stays in your Bids tab.
Every result comes back as a card with the things you’d normally have to dig for, on top:
The flags are the point. You skim them instead of reading the whole board, so the jobs that would burn you get spotted before you quote, not after you’ve driven 200 miles.
The Bids tab keeps every bid you have placed with where it stands: still waiting on a reply, turned down, or accepted and booked. Nothing disappears when your search results clear.
A daily alert keeps checking a saved search every day, so you don’t have to run it yourself. You set one from the search form on the Search tab, and manage your saved alerts in the Daily alerts card there.
When an alert finds loads you get a notification. The bell icon at the top of the app holds your notifications.
If your Courier Exchange session is dead for 3 days in a row, the alert goes dormant and stops checking, and it shows as Paused. Nothing is broken and you don’t need to set it up again: reconnect Courier Exchange from Settings and the alert starts again on its own.
If a search fails before it starts checking, it does not count against your limits. Once a search has started, it counts, even if it finds nothing. Refunds are capped at 3 an hour to stop misuse.
Sign in with your email and password, or with an email code using the link on the sign-in screen. Both get you into the same account. Five wrong password attempts lock password sign-in for a while; the email code still works.
Your name, mobile number and photo live on the Settings screen. Your photo stays on this device. Signing out only signs you out on that device.
Your CX account is connected from Settings. Your login details are stored encrypted so the app can search for you. If searches stop finding loads or the app asks for a code again, your CX session has probably expired; use Change CX login to reconnect.
There is no delete button in the app yet. To delete your account and its data, email hello@loadlens.co.uk and the team will sort it for you.
