How flat 5% lands on a San AntonioAustin load

A 80-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $500 all-in — typically loses $90 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $410, the shipper paid the full $500, and the difference funds a call-center.

On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $500 — and the carrier sees $475 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $25 flat). Across a year of San AntonioAustin volume, the gap is real money. See your annual savings →
