How flat 5% lands on a Norfolk–Richmond load
A 95-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 Norfolk–Richmond 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 Norfolk, 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.
