How flat 5% lands on a New Orleans–Baton Rouge load

A 80-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $550 all-in — typically loses $99 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $451, the shipper paid the full $550, and the difference funds a call-center.

On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $550 — and the carrier sees $523 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $28 flat). Across a year of New Orleans–Baton Rouge 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 New Orleans pickup window first — no auction, no double-brokering.
