We exist. Convoy doesn't anymore — its 2023 shutdown stranded thousands of shippers mid-contract.
GetHaulDirect is operated by CVS Logistics LLC d/b/a GetHaulDirect, MC-123033, with an active BMC-84 surety bond. Boring stability matters.
Convoy charged a percentage spread the shipper rarely saw. Our 5% is on the rate confirmation in plain language.

◉ FAQ — GetHaulDirect vs Convoy

Frequently asked

+Is Convoy still operating?

No. Convoy ceased operations in October 2023. The brand was subsequently acquired by Flexport, but the standalone Convoy marketplace as shippers and carriers knew it does not exist.

+What is the best Convoy alternative for shippers in 2026?

For shippers who valued Convoy's transparent-pricing pitch, GetHaulDirect's flat 5% (disclosed up front, on the rate confirmation) is the closest model — operated as a registered FMCSA broker (MC-123033) with active BMC-84 bond. Uber Freight inherited some of Convoy's enterprise volume but uses a hidden-spread brokerage model rather than transparent flat-fee.

+Are GetHaulDirect's carriers the same FMCSA pool Convoy used?

Substantially overlap. Convoy's carrier base was the active US FMCSA-authorized fleet, which is the same pool GetHaulDirect verifies through SAFER + Sumsub KYC. Many former Convoy carriers are active on GetHaulDirect today.
