Quick answers
Most asked, plainly answered
If something here doesn't fit your situation, email us — every operator's setup is a little different.
Getting started
Do I have to pay to join?
No — sign-up, fleet management, posting loads, and chatting are all free. Lazi only earns when a match completes: a 5% service fee charged to the shipper, never the carrier. See pricing for the breakdown.
How long does sign-up take?
Under three minutes. Email, company name, one vehicle, and you can browse matches. Bank details for payouts can wait until your first job lands.
I got an invite link — what now?
Tap the link from the device the invite was sent to (email or phone). It auto-binds you to the inviting company under the role they chose. Tokens expire after 7 days — if yours has lapsed, email us and we’ll resend.
Posting + matching
What does "Go Lazi" do?
It changes your truck from Working to Lazi (available). Loads going your way light up amber on the map and a suggested match pops up if there’s a good fit on your route.
Can I limit who sees my post?
Yes — every post can be marked Public, Network Only (your Trusted Circle), or Direct (one specific company). Pick per post; the default is Network Only.
How are suggested prices calculated?
A transparent formula: equipment-type rate per km × distance, then a backload discount — labour and distance are reduced, while fuel and RUC pass through at cost, so a backload typically lands around 65–75% of dedicated freight. The numbers and the formula both show on the post — no black box.
How do ratings work?
Once a job completes, each side can leave the other a 1–5 star rating from the job page. Ratings and completed-job counts show on bids and load cards, so everyone sees who they’re dealing with. One rating per job.
Payments + payouts
When does the carrier get paid?
Within 48 hours of both sides confirming delivery via the digital ticket. Paid straight to the carrier’s NZ bank, full listed amount.
What does the 5% fee cover?
Stripe processing, GST-compliant invoicing, the matching service, support, and the platform. It’s only ever charged to the shipper.
Where do I see invoices?
In History — every completed match has a downloadable PDF invoice for each party.
Team + partners
How do I invite a driver or dispatcher?
In Team, tap Invite. Email or SMS the link — the new user signs up bound to your company under the role you picked.
How do I invite a partner company?
In Partners, create a partner invite — they sign up as their own company and land in your Trusted Circle, not your team.
Safety + privacy
Who can see my fleet and pricing?
Only people inside your company by default. Partner companies see only what you share per-post. Drivers can be configured to see job details without pricing if the company prefers.
Can I leave or delete my account?
Yes. Signed in, open Settings → Account to leave your company or request account deletion under the NZ Privacy Act. We anonymise your personal details; the financial records we’re legally required to keep for IRD (your past invoices and payments) are retained against your company, not you.
Step-by-step guides
Guide: schedule a Lazi window ahead of time
Dispatch can line up a truck’s empty return before the driver even finishes the job.
1. On the truck’s page in Fleet, open Schedule and pick the window it’ll be running empty.
2. Choose where it’s heading — home base, or a one-off destination.
3. When the window opens, the truck flips to Lazi automatically and the driver gets a heads-up. Loads on the route start matching.
4. At the end of the window it auto-stops, so nobody has to remember to switch it off.
The driver can still Go Lazi or Stop by hand any time — the schedule just saves the office a step.

Guide: sell materials off your yard (quarry / supplier)
If you sell material — aggregate, sand, metal — Lazi can carry the delivery on a truck already heading that way.
1. List what you sell as a supply product with your yard price.
2. When a buyer orders, it becomes a load nearby Lazi trucks can pick up.
3. The weighbridge docket confirms the quantity that actually left, and the order settles on that figure.
4. You’re paid for the material; the carrier’s paid for the run — both on the one job.
It turns a delivery into a backload for someone else’s empty truck.

Guide: when a job goes wrong (disputes + refunds)
Most jobs run clean, but here’s the path if one doesn’t.
1. On the job page, open a dispute if the delivery isn’t right — add photos and a note. The other party and the Lazi team both see it.
2. We look at the digital ticket, the photos, and the chat, and work it out with both sides.
3. If a job is refunded, the money for the haul goes back to the shipper. Lazi’s service fees on the job aren’t refunded — they cover processing and invoicing that already happened.
4. On a full refund you’re issued a GST credit note so your books stay square. See pricing for how the fees work.
Payouts pause while a dispute is open, so nothing settles until it’s sorted.

Guide: the driver app, from install to paid
The Lazi app is built for the cab — big buttons, a map, and one tap to Go Lazi.
1. Get the app from your dispatcher’s invite link, or the app store once you’re set up.
2. Sign in and pick the truck you’re driving today.
3. You’re Working while you’re on a job. Finish, tap Go Lazi, and loads on your way home light up.
4. Accept one, follow the run, snap the pickup and delivery photos, and you’re paid to your account.
Your licence details need to be on file first so you can be put on a truck — add them in your driver record.
