Direct connections between port truckers and shippers. No broker in the middle. No inflated margins. Just freight that moves.
Launching 2025 · Trucker spots filling fast
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.
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.
Container details, pickup window, delivery destination. Takes under two minutes. No phone calls. No back-and-forth with brokers.
Verified drayage carriers see the load instantly. Accept directly from the app. Route confirmed, rate locked — no negotiation theater.
Trucker keeps 95% of the rate. Shipper pays market price — not broker price. Funds clear on delivery. No net-30 waiting.
The busiest port complex in the Western Hemisphere. Billions in freight moves through here every year — most of it still booked over the phone.
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.
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.
You shouldn't have to wonder if your carrier is legit. We check every trucker before they touch a load — automatically, instantly, every time.
Every carrier on PortRunners is verified against FMCSA's SAFER database on signup. MC number, safety rating, operating authority, and insurance all checked automatically.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
