No forced membership, no required subscription, no percentage buried in a marked-up quote. Loadgency charges one honest brokerage fee — the greater of $50 or 10% of the shipment price — and you see it next to the driver's price before you ever say yes.
The driver's price is whatever the shipper sets. Our fee is the only thing we make — here's exactly how it lands on real shipments.
| Shipment | Driver's price (you set) | Loadgency fee | How it's figured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyday car, open | $900 | $90 | 10% (more than the $50 floor) |
| Enclosed / exotic | $1,800 | $180 | 10% |
| Motorcycle / powersport | $400 | $50 | $50 floor (more than 10%) |
| Local tow (12–40 mi) | $120 | $50 | $50 floor |
| Heavy equipment / oversized | $2,400 | $240 | 10% |
Most people pay nothing until pickup. Businesses and dealers who want to lock a carrier early can prepay. Your call.
The default. Nothing due until the load lands — pay the driver COD and settle the fee at the same time. Zero risk.
Fee clears when the carrier collects your vehicle. A middle option for shippers who want it settled at the front door.
Lock your carrier the moment you post. Popular with dealers and high-volume shippers who want the load secured early.

Most brokers bury their cut inside your price so you never see it. We do the opposite: our fee is separate, shown in the open, and it comes from the shipper — never out of the driver's pay. Here's the whole mechanic, start to finish, nothing hidden.
When a shipper posts a load, they add a card. Nothing is charged yet — it just sits on file, like the hold a hotel puts on your card at check-in.
$0 charged up frontThe moment a real, verified carrier claims the load, we charge the shipper our flat fee — the greater of $50 or 10%. Not a second before. If nobody claims it, nobody pays a cent.
Only on a real matchAt delivery the customer pays the driver the full posted price, COD. Our fee and the driver's pay never touch — two clean, separate flows of money.
100% to the carrierIt's not just the fee — it's the whole way the money moves and the trust is built. This is the carrier's-eye view.
| Loadgency | Traditional broker | |
|---|---|---|
| When the carrier gets paid | On delivery, COD | Net 15–45 days |
| Who holds the money | Nobody — paid direct | The broker |
| The broker's cut | Flat $50 or 10%, shown | $300–800, hidden in the price |
| Factoring to get paid fast | Never needed | Often — 3–5% off the top |
| If the broker goes under | Nothing lost — not their money | You eat the loss |
| Carrier verified (MC/DOT + insurance) | Every carrier, re-checked | Varies |
| Double-brokering protection | Verified handoff + ID photos | Rare |
| Keep the customer you win | Yours to rebook | Blocked or hidden |
