How the 5% saves money on a Wisconsin load
Industry-average broker commission is 13–25% of load value. On a typical Milwaukee outbound load, that's the difference between what your broker pays the carrier and what you pay the broker — money that stays inside the broker's call-center and never shows up on a line item.
On GetHaulDirect, the rate you post is the rate the carrier sees. The 5% is billed separately via Stripe Connect escrow, released only after proof-of-delivery is uploaded. ACH to the carrier in two business days. See your annual savings →
Carriers serving Wisconsin are FMCSA-verified (active authority + insurance on file) and identity-cleared through Sumsub before they can accept a load. No anonymous brokers, no double-brokering, no factoring deductions on the carrier side.
