How flat 5% lands on a MemphisSt. Louis load

A 285-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $950 all-in — typically loses $171 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $779, the shipper paid the full $950, and the difference funds a call-center.

On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $950 — and the carrier sees $903 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $48 flat). Across a year of MemphisSt. Louis 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 Memphis, 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.
