Competitor pricing sourced from public websites as of Q2 2026. Brokerage commission ranges are industry averages. Figures may vary by plan or negotiation.
Run the math on a single load across each platform. Subscription fees add up fast when freight is slow.
On that same $5,000 haul, carriers keep $600 more vs. a broker. That's $600 back in your pocket, every single load.
10 loads a month? That's $6,000 in savings. 20 loads? $12,000. The math is simple.
We built this from the carrier's perspective — not a VC-backed load board trying to extract maximum revenue.
No subscription to post. No subscription to browse. You pay nothing until a load is delivered and confirmed. Slow month? Zero dollars owed.
Payment releases within approximately 3 days of delivery confirmation. No chasing invoices. No waiting 30–45 days like traditional brokers or factoring required.
Every carrier is verified against FMCSA SAFER before getting a green badge. Shippers see verified carriers upfront — safer hauls, less risk.
Carriers and shippers both leave ratings after delivery. Build a reputation that gets you better loads and better partners over time.
Carriers bid directly on loads — no middleman, no broker markup. Shippers pick the best bid and assign directly. Rate transparency, always.
8% flat commission on delivered loads. That's the only fee that exists. No setup fees, no load posting fees, no cancellation fees.
When you're running your own truck, every dollar matters. Brokers taking 20% and load boards charging $150/mo before you see a load — that's the problem we're solving.

Post loads free — no listing fees, no subscriptions
Only 8% when delivered — not 15–25% broker markup
Verified carriers only — FMCSA SAFER check on every carrier
Competitive bids — multiple carriers compete for your load
Posting loads and browsing loads is free. We make money only when freight is successfully delivered — 8% of the haul rate. If no loads move, we make nothing. There's no catch, just an aligned incentive.
Traditional freight brokers typically take 15–25% off every load. On a $5,000 haul, that's $750–$1,250 versus our $400. The savings add up fast over dozens of loads per month.
Brokers collect from the shipper and then pay carriers — their payment cycle creates the 30–60 day delay. Our platform processes payment directly when delivery is confirmed, so there's no middleman float.
When carriers register, we check their DOT/MC number against the FMCSA SAFER database. Carriers with active operating authority get a green verified badge on their profile and load bids.
Dry van, refrigerated (reefer), flatbed, and more. Loads are filterable by equipment type so carriers see what matches their truck.
8% commission. 3-day payouts. Free to post and browse.
Other load boards take 15–25%. We take 8%. That's not a rounding error — it's $600 on a $5K haul.
