This is a transport brokerage / reverse auction set up. You say what you want to ship and transporters bid for the job. They don't want to run empty lorries etc - any income they get is better than none, and this opens up cheap transport opportunities for customers.

HGV driving and cycling mutual awareness

This is your chance to get up close and stay safe.Sit in the driver's cab, see what you look like in the driver's mirror.Walk / cycle around the lorry, discover where you can be seen and whereyou cannot. Talk to the police and some drivers, explain what it's likecycling near a lorry. One objective is to educate cyclists by getting to understand lorries. The other objective is to educate lorry drivers and trainers. You can take part in video filming of your moves and reactions, tell them whatyou think and feel. These videos will be used to help train lorry drivers in London. The aim is to reduce the number of collisions and deaths. If a lorry hits a cyclist - it's the cyclist who hurts.This show is put on by the Commercial Vehicle Education Unit of the MetPolice. They are working to make freight transport safer.
