Houston, TX
→ Dallas, TX
Mirror of the Dallas-Houston southbound; both directions are heavy. Houston exports to DFW DCs balance the southbound inbound. I-45 has higher accident rates than other Texas corridors — carriers price safety premium.

How flat 5% lands on a Houston–Dallas load
A 240-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $850 all-in — typically loses $153 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $697, the shipper paid the full $850, and the difference funds a call-center.
On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $850 — and the carrier sees $808 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $43 flat). Across a year of Houston–Dallas 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 Houston pickup window first — no auction, no double-brokering.
