The Problem

Empty miles are your biggest hidden cost

Fleet operators spend thousands a month paying drivers to haul air back to the yard.

💸

Deadhead miles drain margins

Fuel, driver time, and equipment wear with zero revenue to show for it.

⏱️

Manual load searching wastes time

Hours on the phone and scrolling load boards to cobble together a return on short notice.

🗺️

Not all loads are worth it

A load 200 miles off route costs more than it earns — and without route math you can't tell.

📊

No visibility into financials upfront

Splits, fuel surcharges, and stop fees eat the margin — usually discovered after the fact.

How It Works

From empty to paid load in four steps

Haul Monitor handles the routing math so you can focus on moving freight.

1

Create Your Account

Sign up in a couple of minutes. No subscription, no contract — you buy search credits as you need them.

2

Connect Your Load Boards

Enter credentials for the load boards you want to search — choose one or all. Haul Monitor searches the accounts you already subscribe to; each one you add widens what a search can find.

Create a Fleet Profile

Equipment type, home base, trailer specs, and your rate configuration — cost per mile, splits, and fuel surcharge — so every result is costed against your real numbers.

4

Create a Search

Enter where your truck comes empty. Haul Monitor draws a corridor back to your home base and returns a ranked list with the full financial breakdown on every load.
