◉ Where Truckstop wins

Credit where it's due

  • Risk Factors product flags carriers with double-brokering or inspection-fraud history.
  • Long-tenured operator network — many carriers have used Truckstop since the late 1990s.
  • Strong customer-support reputation on the carrier side.
◉ Where we differ

What our model fixes

  • Truckstop is a directory; payment, escrow, and dispute resolution still happen on whatever broker you connect with.
  • We bundle the brokerage authority + Sumsub identity verification + Stripe Connect escrow on every load — Risk Factors is roughly the price-of-entry on GHD, not an upsell.
  • Flat 5% all-in vs. Truckstop subscription + a separate broker's margin layered on every shipment.
◉ Takeaway

Truckstop made carriers subscribe to a feed. We made the broker step itself transparent: 5% flat, no extra subscription.

◉ FAQ — GetHaulDirect vs Truckstop

Frequently asked

+What is the difference between Truckstop and GetHaulDirect?

Truckstop is a load-board subscription ($99–$219/mo for carriers) where carriers search for loads brokers have posted. GetHaulDirect is the broker — shippers post directly, FMCSA-verified carriers receive matched offers, no subscription on either side. The flat 5% on the shipper side is the only platform fee.

+Does Truckstop's Risk Factors come standard on GetHaulDirect?

Yes, equivalent fraud-protection is built in: every carrier on GetHaulDirect clears FMCSA SAFER (active authority, no out-of-service flag), Sumsub identity KYC on the driver, and provides current insurance documents. Funds are escrowed via Stripe Connect at post-time and released only on POD upload — closing the double-brokering vector that Risk Factors specifically targets.

+Can carriers on GetHaulDirect skip the Truckstop subscription?

Carriers pay nothing on GetHaulDirect — no subscription, no per-load fee. The 5% lives on the shipper side. A carrier that gets steady matched offers from GetHaulDirect can drop the Truckstop seat without losing access to verified-shipper freight.
