A load board. A marketplace. No broker.
01 What it is
Shippers and carriers book freight with each other, directly. Both sides are verified, every rate is posted in the open, and each shipper's payment record is visible before a truck is loaded.
02 The direct lane
On a brokered load, one company sets the price on both sides and keeps the difference. On Skip A Broker the shipper and the carrier agree the rate between themselves.

03 Why we built it
Brokers keep the margin. Carriers carry the risk. Shippers never see who hauls their freight. We put both sides at the same table, with every fact on it.
Skip A Broker was started by a small-fleet owner with seven years on the road and in the office, who spent too much of that time chasing rate confirmations, PODs and late payments across five different tools.
04 Payment scores
Average days to pay, Sample Shipper Co.
Know who pays before you load.
Every shipper carries a payment record built from invoices both sides have confirmed. Carriers see it on every load. Shippers who pay quickly get booked first.
