How the 5% saves money on a Louisiana load
Industry-average broker commission is 13–25% of load value. On a typical New Orleans outbound load, that's the difference between what your broker pays the carrier and what you pay the broker — money that stays inside the broker's call-center and never shows up on a line item.
On GetHaulDirect, the rate you post is the rate the carrier sees. The 5% comes out of that rate, not on top. Stripe holds the amount on your card when a carrier accepts (two days before pickup if you book further ahead) and charges it when you confirm delivery, or 24 hours after delivery is marked. ACH to the carrier in about two business days. See your annual savings →
Carriers serving Louisiana are FMCSA-verified (active operating authority) before they are offered a load, and each is asked for a certificate of insurance and an ID + selfie check. No anonymous brokers, no double-brokering, no factoring deductions on the carrier side.
