How backhaul lanes save you money
Freight markets are rarely balanced. Places like Southern California and South Florida pull in far more freight than they ship out, so trucks pile up there. To avoid driving home empty (a “deadhead”), carriers take outbound loads at a discount. As a brokerage we tap that backhaul capacity across thousands of asset-based carriers — and on the lanes above, that means a rate well under what the same distance normally costs. Each lane shows how far below market it sits and why.
Discount freight FAQs
How do you find truckload lanes priced below market?
We benchmark every lane against the going rate for its distance band, then surface the ones running materially below it — usually backhaul directions out of markets that pull in more freight than they ship out. Carriers heading home from those markets take outbound loads at a discount rather than run empty, and we pass that through. Rates come from national carrier data and our own booked loads.
What makes a backhaul lane cheaper?
Freight markets are rarely balanced. Regions like Southern California and South Florida receive far more freight than they send out, so trucks pile up there. To avoid deadheading home empty, carriers discount outbound loads — the “backhaul” direction. Those lanes can run well under what the same distance costs in the busy direction.
Are these discount freight rates guaranteed?
They're current, market-based estimates — not locked quotes — and spot rates move daily. For a guaranteed, all-in rate tailored to your shipment (weight, equipment, dates, accessorials), request a free quote; it's valid for 30 days.
Are the rates shown for dry vans?
Yes — the prices here are for a standard 53' dry van, the most common truckload equipment. We also move flatbed, reefer, and specialized freight on these same lanes; get a free quote for your equipment and we'll find the best available rate.
How often are these rates updated?
Continuously. We re-price lanes against fresh carrier-market data on a rolling basis, so the deals you see reflect recent conditions rather than a stale snapshot.
What if my lane isn't listed here?
We quote any lane in the country, listed or not. Get a free quote and we'll find the best available rate across our carrier network — backhaul savings apply well beyond the lanes shown here.
