For carriers / providers
Registration & Account
Can I be both a provider/carrier and a customer/shipper in one profile?
Yes. You can switch between provider and customer mode in the same profile.
As a provider/carrier, you can make offers, post routes, or list equipment for rent.
As a customer/shipper, you can post a load.
Account verification
You can transport loads without verifying your account, but a verified profile builds more trust — customers can see your verification status and are more likely to choose your offer.
Photos of your documents are visible only to you and the platform's administrators — other users don't see them.
A verified account means the user's identity has been confirmed through a bank transfer.
To verify your profile, send a 1 RUB transfer to our bank account — the details and QR code are in the My Info section. If there's a mismatch between the site data and the payment details, we may contact you to confirm.
My Routes / My Vehicles / My Listings — What's the Difference?
My Vehicles is your vehicle fleet. The vehicles you add here can be used when you make an offer or post a route, so you don't have to enter the same vehicle information every time.
My Routes contains the routes you've posted, whether recurring or for a specific date. Customers can find them in the Routes section.
My Listings contains your listings in the Equipment Services section. Carriers can use them to offer transportation services within a city or without a fixed route, while equipment owners can list their equipment for rent.
My rating
Your rating is displayed on your profile and is based on customer reviews.
Ask the customer to leave a review after they accept your offer. The more genuine reviews you have from completed routes, the more likely customers are to choose you.
My profile was blocked
Access to your profile is restricted if:
- you've received substantiated complaints or negative reviews;
- you've violated the platform's terms of use;
- you've submitted prices that are significantly higher than the reasonable transportation cost for the load dimensions and weight specified in the listing.
Finding a load
Searching in the "Loads" section
Set the filters you need. Your filter settings are saved until you change them.
Enable load on your route and increase the search radius to see all loads along your route, not just those at your starting and destination points. Loads on your route are easiest to browse on the Map.
On the map, markers indicate the pickup location.
If you find a suitable load, make an offer or contact the shipper directly if their contact information is available.
The same city shows up in different languages — which one do I pick?
The same city can appear under different spellings or languages (for example, Milano, Lombardia and Milan, Lombardy) — on the map, it's the same point. Pick whichever spelling you like; the city will still show up in load and route searches either way.
My place is missing or listed incorrectly
Places in our database are listed in the local language, Russian, and English. If your city is missing or listed incorrectly, contact us (support@papacargo.com or Telegram) with the city name, region, country, and coordinates.
To find coordinates: in Google Maps, right-click the location, then left-click the coordinates to copy them; in Yandex Maps, coordinates are shown in the info card.
Working with a Shipper/Customer
My offers
If you've reached an agreement with the customer, ask them to accept your offer. Once they do, the load is removed from public search, and other carriers can no longer submit offers.
The load is moved to the My Offers → In Progress section, and both you and the shipper will be able to leave reviews for each other.
How can I delete a chat / message?
You can't delete individual messages or chats. All chats are deleted together with your offer when you delete it from your account.
How can I protect myself during transportation?
You negotiate the terms of the agreement directly with the customer. Be sure to check whether the customer's account is verified.
To help ensure a smooth transportation process:
- agree on the load details, terms, payment, and delivery schedule in advance;
- sign a transportation agreement with the customer;
- before pickup, take photos of the load and the shipper's identification documents.
If you're an individual carrier, you can download a transportation agreement template from the Info section.
Payment and transportation are handled directly between you and the customer. PapaCargo is not a transportation company, is not a party to the agreement, and does not charge any commission for the transportation.
If you encounter a customer acting in bad faith, contact us. We'll guide you through the next steps and, if the violation is confirmed, restrict the customer's access to the platform.
Reviews from customers / about customers
You can leave and receive a review only after the customer accepts your offer. Once they do, a Leave a Review button will appear.
Routes
Posting your routes
Post your route so customers can find it and contact you immediately using the contact information you've provided. Your contact information is always visible in this section.
You can post either a one-time route for a specific date or a recurring route. Both passenger car drivers and truck drivers can post routes.
Each route can include up to 10 intermediate stops, making it easier for customers in cities along your route to find you.
If your route spans multiple days, it will disappear from search after the date of the second-to-last stop has passed. For example, the route Minsk (May 14) → Brest (May 14) → Warsaw (May 16) will disappear from search on May 15, because the last available pickup segment ended on May 14, and according to the route, no additional loads can be picked up after Brest.
Payment
Subscriptions
A subscription lets you view all shippers' contact information immediately, without having to make an offer or exchange messages in the chat first. You can purchase a subscription in Info → Plans.
You can purchase a new subscription before your current one expires - the remaining time will be added to the new subscription period.
You can check your subscription status in My Subscriptions.

Post loads and chat with carriers
once a carrier makes an offer, a chat opens where you can exchange contact information for free. If you connected with the carrier through the chat and would like to support PapaCargo, you'll find a Tip button in the carrier's offer window. It's a small optional payment to thank the platform for helping you connect.
