A freight broker that
shows the spread.
GetHaulDirect is a private freight marketplace. Shippers post a load, FMCSA-verified US carriers accept it in one tap, the platform takes a flat 5 % fee — that's the entire deal. The rate the shipper posts is the rate the shipper pays — the fee comes out of it, so the carrier keeps 95 %.
Why we exist
Traditional freight brokerage runs on opacity. The broker takes 13–25 % between the shipper's rate and the carrier's rate, and neither side sees the other's number. The shipper overpays; the carrier underearns; the spread funds a call-center.
We rebuilt the model around three rules:
- One number, not two. The shipper's posted rate is what the carrier earns minus the flat 5 %.
- Auto-match, not auction. The load is offered to one verified carrier at a time whose equipment and lane fit, who accepts in one tap — auto-matched, not relayed across multiple brokers.
- Card hold, not invoice.The shipper’s card is authorised through Stripe the moment a carrier accepts, and charged when the shipper confirms delivery or 24 hours after delivery is marked. ACH to the carrier in about two business days.

Operating company
FalconAI LLC
Pennsylvania LLC at 331 E Street Rd, Feasterville-Trevose, PA 19053. GetHaulDirect is a brand of FalconAI LLC, which runs day-to-day operations: engineering, support, carrier onboarding, and the Stripe Connect platform account.
Founder
Zafar Safarov founded GetHaulDirect after a decade of running freight operations across the eastern half of the US — first inside larger 3PLs, then with his own operating unit in Pennsylvania. The platform exists because the math on traditional brokerage stops making sense once you’ve seen both sides of the rate confirmation: the shipper paying $2,000 and the carrier netting $1,500 with no documentation of where the $500 went.
GetHaulDirect runs CVS Logistics LLC under FMCSA broker authority MC-123033 — the broker authority that makes the flat 5% transparency model legal under 49 CFR § 371. Day-to-day operations (engineering, carrier onboarding, payments, support) live inside FalconAI LLC, of which GetHaulDirect is a brand.

Frequently asked
+Is GetHaulDirect a freight broker?
Yes. The platform is operated by FalconAI LLC and loads are brokered under FMCSA broker authority MC-123033, USDOT 3176886, held by CVS Logistics LLC. The difference is the pricing model: a flat 5% platform fee disclosed up front, instead of a hidden margin between shipper and carrier rates.
+How is a 5% fee sustainable when brokers charge 15–25%?
Traditional brokerages spend most of their spread on phone-based carrier dispatching, agent commissions, and manual paperwork. GetHaulDirect automates matching, contracting, and payment — the 5% covers platform costs with no per-call overhead.
+Can I verify GetHaulDirect's broker authority?
Yes. Search MC-123033 on FMCSA SAFER at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. The record shows authority status, USDOT, surety bond (BMC-84), and operating-as name. The record is updated by FMCSA in near real-time.
