California Air Resources Board regulations mean engines must be 2010+ to operate within the state — a structural barrier that filters out marginal carriers and tightens capacity. I-5 is the inland faster route; US-101 the coastal slower one.

How flat 5% lands on a Los Angeles–San Francisco load
A 380-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $1,300 all-in — typically loses $234 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $1,066, the shipper paid the full $1,300, and the difference funds a call-center.
On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $1,300 — and the carrier sees $1,235 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $65 flat). Across a year of Los Angeles–San Francisco 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 our in-house identity KYC before they can be paid. The matching engine ranks them on how close they are to Los Angeles, their rating and their delivery record, then offers the load to one carrier at a time with an hour to accept — no auction, no double-brokering.
