How flat 5% lands on a MiamiTampa load

A 280-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $900 all-in — typically loses $162 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $738, the shipper paid the full $900, and the difference funds a call-center.

On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $900 — and the carrier sees $855 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $45 flat). Across a year of MiamiTampa 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 Miami, 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.
