Haul freight for Backhaulers
Consistent lanes and a dispatcher who picks up when something goes sideways at a receiver. Our four founders spent their careers in this industry fighting empty miles, and that is why owner-operators and fleets make Backhaulers their trusted brokerage of choice.
The brokerage carriers keep coming back to
We book freight for shippers who ship every week, so the lanes repeat. Run them well and you get first call on that capacity — no re-bidding against the board every Monday.
Our model is built on backhaul efficiency. We match your preferred lanes to shippers that need capacity on the opposite leg — so you spend less time deadheading and more time earning on lanes that take you home. Onboarding runs through Highway — verify your authority, insurance, and banking in a few minutes and start getting load offers the same day.
