The freight brokerage industry is broken for carriers. Load boards create a race to the bottom that destroys margins.
Load boards publicly liquidate stale inventory, creating a race to the bottom where desperate drivers undercut each other.
5,500+ freight brokerages closed in just 2 years.
The weakest brokerages are being wiped out. Even healthy ones are struggling to survive the freight recession.
Five compounding problems destroy most freight brokerages.
Everyone does the same thing. Price is the only differentiator. Margins compress to near zero.
Thin margins require massive volume. When freight slows, revenue collapses but costs don't.
Carriers go bankrupt. Brokers get stuck paying shippers but can't recover from carriers.
Load boards, TMS, AI tools—everyone buys the same tech. No moat. Costs keep rising.
Net 45-60 means carrying receivables for months. Growth requires massive working capital.
Industry analysts predict another wave of large brokerage failures in 2026 if conditions persist.
Billions burned chasing the loadboard model. All gone.
Loadboard model + VC burn rate = Death. The race to the bottom destroys unit economics.
Loads delivered privately via WhatsApp, SMS, or in-app chat. No public listings. No bidding.
Three simple steps to better earnings:
Before a load board load even moves, there's hours of painful phone calls.
You've found a load. Now you need to call to negotiate the rate.
"I'll do it for $2,800." → "I can offer $2,200." → "What about $2,500?"
45 minutes on the phone. While you're negotiating, you're not driving. Not earning.
Maybe you agree. Maybe you walk away. Either way, you've lost time and energy.
Set prices. No negotiation. No phone calls. Accept and go. That's it.
No race to the bottom. We value everyone's time.
We factor in: fuel costs, mileage, truck wear, time investment, and market conditions.
"Fair pay for fair work. No haggling."
We call it a de minimis fee. Industry standard considers our margin negligible.
"We're not trying to squeeze margins. We're building a network."
Reliable carriers who actually show up. Speed and quality over rock-bottom prices.
"Reliability is priceless."
Everyone wins: drivers earn more, shippers get reliability, LoadRunner earns a small, sustainable margin.
