Crosses Arizona's high desert and northern Utah's Wasatch Front. Steady west-coast distribution support; reefer demand for Utah's outdoor / sporting-goods retailers (REI, Cotopaxi) is overlooked but consistent.

How flat 5% lands on a Phoenix–Salt Lake City load
A 660-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $1,900 all-in — typically loses $342 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $1,558, the shipper paid the full $1,900, and the difference funds a call-center.
On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $1,900 — and the carrier sees $1,805 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $95 flat). Across a year of Phoenix–Salt Lake City volume, the gap is real money. See your annual savings →
Carriers running this lane are FMCSA-verified (active operating authority) before they are offered a load, and each is asked for a certificate of insurance and an ID + selfie check. The matching engine looks for carriers whose equipment fits and whose home base is within reach of Phoenix, prefers ones with payouts connected and recent activity, then offers the load to the best-fitting carriers at once with 30 minutes to accept — no auction, no double-brokering.
