LocalHaul is a platform that connects shippers, brokers, and carriers who need local freight moved with independent drivers and carriers who can move it. LocalHaul itself is not a motor carrier and does not transport freight — it provides the marketplace, messaging, tracking, and payment tools that connect the two sides of a load.
You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep it up to date. Drivers and carriers are responsible for holding and maintaining their own valid operating authority, licensing, and insurance — LocalHaul's credential review is a documentation check, not a substitute for your own legal compliance as a motor carrier or driver.
Posters choose how a load is priced — a firm rate, a rate with room to counter-offer, or open bidding — and generate the appropriate agreement (a rate confirmation or lease agreement, depending on the authority posted under) automatically. LocalHaul doesn't guarantee that any posted load will be filled, or that any driver will be available for a given load.
Payments are processed through Stripe via ACH bank transfer. LocalHaul's platform commission is currently 0% — this may change in the future, with notice. Detention pay and cancellation fees work as described in the app; LocalHaul does not retain a share of either.
You may not submit false or fraudulent credentials, misrepresent your driver class or operating authority, or attempt to circumvent the platform's payment or messaging systems. LocalHaul may suspend or terminate an account for violating these terms.
The service is provided "as is." LocalHaul is not responsible for freight loss or damage, delays, or disputes between a poster and a driver — those remain between the parties to the load, same as they would through any other freight arrangement.
These terms may change as the product develops. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date.
