How flat 5% lands on a Denver–Kansas City load
A 600-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $1,700 all-in — typically loses $306 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $1,394, the shipper paid the full $1,700, and the difference funds a call-center.
On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $1,700 — and the carrier sees $1,615 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $85 flat). Across a year of Denver–Kansas City volume, the gap is real money. See your annual savings →
Carriers running this lane are FMCSA-verified (active authority + insurance on file) and identity-cleared through Sumsub before they can accept a load. The matching engine routes loads to whoever fits the Denver pickup window first — no auction, no double-brokering.
