How flat 5% lands on a Seattle–Salt Lake City load
A 830-mile dry-van load through a traditional broker — say, $2,500 all-in — typically loses $450 to the broker's spread (industry-average 18%, per FreightWaves). The carrier sees only $2,050, the shipper paid the full $2,500, and the difference funds a call-center.
On GetHaulDirect, the same load posts at $2,500 — and the carrier sees $2,375 (you keep the broker spread, the platform fee is $125 flat). Across a year of Seattle–Salt Lake City 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 Seattle pickup window first — no auction, no double-brokering.
