Los Angeles, CA
→ Phoenix, AZ
One of the country's busiest freight corridors. LA / Long Beach port volume routes through the Inland Empire (Ontario, Riverside) and onto I-10 east. Phoenix's TSMC and Intel buildouts pull steady eastbound capital-equipment and consumer-goods loads.

How flat 5% lands on a Los Angeles–Phoenix load
A 372-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $1,500 all-in — typically loses $270 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $1,230, the shipper paid the full $1,500, and the difference funds a call-center.
On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $1,500 — and the carrier sees $1,425 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $75 flat). Across a year of Los Angeles–Phoenix volume, the gap is real money. See your annual savings →
Carriers running this lane 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. The matching engine looks for carriers whose equipment fits and whose home base is within reach of Los Angeles, prefers ones with payouts connected and recent activity, then offers the load to the best-fitting carriers at once with 30 minutes to accept — no auction, no double-brokering.
