Brokers are taking
your money.

The drayage industry has run on the same broken model for decades. Shippers overpay. Truckers underearn. Brokers pocket the difference. PortRunners cuts them out entirely.

The old way
Broker in
the middle
  • Shipper pays $1,200 for a move
  • Broker pockets $240–$360 (20–30%)
  • Trucker gets $840 — for doing all the work
  • Phone tag to confirm every load
  • No visibility on where the truck is
  • Payment terms: net 30–45 days
PortRunners
Direct.
Transparent.
  • Shipper pays market rate — that's it
  • PortRunners takes 5% flat, period
  • Trucker keeps 95% — no negotiation needed
  • Load posted, accepted, confirmed in-app
  • Live GPS tracking from port to door
  • Funds released on delivery confirmation

Three steps.
That's it.

We stripped out everything that slows freight down. What's left is a direct line between the people moving containers and the people who need them moved.

01
📋
Shipper posts a load

Container details, pickup window, delivery destination. Takes under two minutes. No phone calls. No back-and-forth with brokers.

02
🚛
Trucker accepts the job

Verified drayage carriers see the load instantly. Accept directly from the app. Route confirmed, rate locked — no negotiation theater.

03
Container moves, both get paid

Trucker keeps 95% of the rate. Shipper pays market price — not broker price. Funds clear on delivery. No net-30 waiting.

The LA/LB port
corridor.

The busiest port complex in the Western Hemisphere. Billions in freight moves through here every year — most of it still booked over the phone.

For truckers

Keep what
you earn.

You're running the truck. You're paying for fuel, insurance, and maintenance. The broker shouldn't be taking 20–30% for making a phone call. PortRunners charges 5%. That's it.

  • Direct shipper connections, no middleman
  • Real-time load board for LA/LB port moves
  • Instant payment on delivery confirmation
  • 5% platform fee, nothing hidden
  • FMCSA-verified onboarding in minutes
  • Priority loads for top-rated carriers
$$$
For shippers

Rates you can
actually trust.

Broker markups are invisible — you never know what the truck actually cost. On PortRunners, you see the carrier rate and a 5% platform fee. No surprises. No markup theater.

  • Verified drayage carriers, background-checked
  • Live container tracking from port to door
  • Transparent pricing — see the actual market rate
  • Automated load posting from your TMS
  • Demurrage alerts before fees hit
  • Dedicated support for volume shippers

Every carrier.
Verified.

You shouldn't have to wonder if your carrier is legit. We check every trucker before they touch a load — automatically, instantly, every time.

🛡️
FMCSA verified

Every carrier on PortRunners is verified against FMCSA's SAFER database on signup. MC number, safety rating, operating authority, and insurance all checked automatically.

📍
Live GPS tracking

Know exactly where your container is at all times. Real-time ELD-connected tracking from port pickup through final delivery — no more calling the driver for updates.

💳
Escrow payments

Shipper funds are held in escrow on booking. Released to the trucker on delivery confirmation. No risk on either side. No net-30 waiting. No invoice chasing.

Carrier ratings

Every completed move generates a rating on both sides. Top-rated truckers get priority load access. Shippers build a verified track record. Accountability built in.

⚠️
Demurrage alerts

We monitor container free-time windows and alert shippers before per-diem fees kick in. Save $400–$800 per container in avoided demurrage charges on average.

📞
Real support

When something goes sideways at the port, you reach a human who knows drayage — not a help desk reading from a script. Dedicated ops support for every active load.

What the port
corridor is saying.

We've been talking to truckers and freight forwarders at POLA and POLB. Here's what they told us.

"

I run four trucks out of the port. My broker takes 22% on every load. If PortRunners is real, that's an extra $3,000 a month back in my pocket. I'm in on day one.

"

The biggest pain point is not knowing where the truck is. We're calling drivers all day. If the platform has real tracking and I can post loads in two minutes, that's a no-brainer.

"

We get hit with demurrage constantly. Nobody alerts us until it's too late. Any platform that flags free-time windows before fees kick in would save us serious money every month.
