If you have an existing account and rates with Allied Express, you can easily bring your own accounts across to FreightExchange to receive quotes, print labels and book and track shipments along side our other broker carriers.

• Your Account Prefix (the first 3 letters or numbers of your consignments/dockets)

Step 2: Request Access to the FreightExchange Group

Send the following email to have your account linked to FreightExchange:

Step 3: Prepare Your Carrier Information

While Allied Express processes your request, please have the following information ready for documentation purposes: 

A. Your Account Manager’s Contact Details
Please provide:

What Happens Next?

Once Allied Express confirms that your account has been linked, we can proceed with testing and finalise the integration.

Part 2: Test Bookings

Once you have completed the setup, perform test bookings to confirm your configuration is correct.

To do this:

• Run sample quotes and check that the rates returned by the system are correct.
• Review the generated labels and have them signed off by your account manager.
• Confirm with your account manager that the test bookings were received as expected in their system.

This validation helps ensure your setup is working correctly before processing live bookings.
