Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about NEAR
Freight matching, savings, secure payments and sustainability: we answer the most common questions from carriers and shippers.
Freight matching automatically connects carriers with spare capacity on their route to shippers who need to send goods in that same direction. NEAR uses artificial intelligence to cross-reference routes, capacities and schedules in real time, filling trips that would otherwise run empty.
In Spain, around 43% of road transport routes run empty. NEAR detects those return legs and matches them with compatible shipments, so the truck travels loaded instead of empty. This cuts wasted mileage and the associated CO₂ emissions.
Shippers save up to 40% versus traditional courier services by using capacity that is already on the move. Carriers generate extra revenue by monetising kilometres they used to drive empty, improving their earnings per kilometre driven.
Yes. Payments are processed with Stripe and held in escrow: funds are securely retained and released automatically to the carrier once delivery is confirmed, protecting both parties.
NEAR operates across Spain, connecting the main logistics routes between cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Seville and Zaragoza, with plans to expand across Europe.
MIRA is NEAR’s artificial intelligence copilot. It analyses your route in real time, finds matching loads and optimises every trip to maximise your earnings per kilometre, reducing empty kilometres.
Yes. Every empty trip eliminated avoids burnt fuel and unnecessary CO₂. By consolidating loads and using return routes, NEAR lowers the carbon footprint of road transport and rewards sustainable shipments with GreenPoints.
