How flat 5% lands on a Cleveland–Pittsburgh load
A 135-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $650 all-in — typically loses $117 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $533, the shipper paid the full $650, and the difference funds a call-center.
On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $650 — and the carrier sees $618 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $33 flat). Across a year of Cleveland–Pittsburgh volume, the gap is real money. See your annual savings →
