App Concept

DirectHaul Verified Load Marketplace

DirectHaul connects truckers directly with shippers, cutting out expensive brokerage middlemen that reduce driver earnings. Our platform provides verified load listings with complete shipment details and transparent rate negotiation tools, ensuring truckers get fair compensation that covers all operational costs. By focusing exclusively on direct shipper-carrier connections, we eliminate broker fees and increase profitability per load.

Verified shipper & load authentication system to prevent scams

Transparent rate calculator that factors in tolls, fuel, and operational costs
Direct messaging and negotiation tools between shippers and carriers

Target Users: Trucking owner-operators and small fleet managers in the US who currently rely on freight brokers through load boards like DAT

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription with tiered pricing based on monthly load volume
