Indianapolis, IN
Louisville, KY

Short-haul into UPS Worldport (SDF). Louisville's Worldport handles roughly half of UPS air freight in the US; truck capacity is round-the-clock and spot-rate sensitive to ecommerce peaks. Bourbon distillery freight (Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Heaven Hill) generates steady outbound flatbed loads.

How flat 5% lands on a IndianapolisLouisville load

A 115-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $600 all-in — typically loses $108 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $492, the shipper paid the full $600, and the difference funds a call-center.

On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $600 — and the carrier sees $570 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $30 flat). Across a year of IndianapolisLouisville 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 Indianapolis pickup window first — no auction, no double-brokering.
