Understanding the 8% Fee
Most carriers only see the final load offer. They usually don't see the full shipper price, how many people touched the load, or how much margin was taken out before it reached them.
Smart Expedite keeps it simple. We charge one transparent 8% platform fee—no hidden broker spread, no surprise deductions, no separate factoring process. That fee covers the work that usually happens out of sight:
You haul the freight. We handle the payment side.
You know the fee. You know the payout. You know when you get paid.
0% fee
Best when you want to keep the full approved payout.
1.5% fee
Good option for faster cash flow.
3% fee
Best when you need the money quickly.
No separate factoring submission. No chasing brokers. And no chargeback for shipper non-payment once a load is completed properly and approved.*
*Standard exceptions apply—such as cargo claims, fraud, missing or late paperwork, damaged freight, or contract violations.

The Bottom Line
Smart Expedite isn't just taking 8%. That fee replaces hidden spread, payment delays, factoring work, and collection headaches. Join us for direct load opportunities, clear payout options, and real support from pickup to delivery.

Carrier Testimonials
"SuperFastPay has been a game-changer for my business. Getting paid in 24 hours means I never have to worry about cash flow. The 3% fee is way better than factoring companies that take 2.5-5%."
"Finally, a platform where I know exactly what I'm getting paid before I accept a load. No more surprises, no more arguing about rates. The dispatch team is always helpful when I need them."
"I've been burned by double-brokered loads before. With Smart Expedite, every load is verified and comes direct from the shipper. It's the peace of mind I needed to grow my business."
"For the first time I can see the shipper's rate and mine on the same screen. Knowing exactly what the load pays before I quote it changed how I run my week. No more guessing, no more feeling shorted."
"The market-rate data is the part I didn't know I needed. When my bid is a little low, it tells me, so I stop leaving money on the table. It's like having a dispatcher who's actually on my side."
"Every pickup and delivery gets verified with a code, so I never worry a load got double-brokered out from under me. That peace of mind is worth a lot when you run your own authority."
"I used to lose 4% to a factoring company and still had to submit paperwork on every load. Now I pick ExpressPay when I want the cash in five days, or wait ten and pay nothing. My call, every load."
"The loads come straight from the shipper and I'm not chasing anyone to get paid. I haul, I upload my POD, and the money shows up. It's the simplest this business has ever been for me."
Carrier FAQ
The application takes about 10 minutes to complete. Once submitted, we verify your authority, insurance, and safety record with FMCSA. Most carriers are approved within 24 hours. You'll receive an email notification once your account is activated.
After you complete a delivery, upload your signed BOL and POD through our app or portal. Select SuperFastPay (3% fee) or ExpressPay (1.5% fee) and the funds are deposited directly to your bank account within the selected timeframe. You can also choose standard 10 business days terms with no fee. You decide per load—no commitment required.
We evaluate newer carriers on a case-by-case basis. If you have relevant experience, good references, and meet our insurance requirements, we may still be able to work with you. Contact our carrier relations team to discuss your situation.
Every shipper on our platform is verified. We don't allow brokers to post loads, eliminating double-brokering. You can see the shipper's name, contact info, and our direct relationship with them. If anything ever seems off, our dispatch team is available 24/7 to verify load details.
No minimums, no commitments. Haul as much or as little as you want. Our platform is designed for owner-operators who value flexibility. You're never locked into anything—use us when it makes sense for your business.
Our dispatch team is available 24/7/365. Whether it's a delivery issue, routing question, breakdown assistance referral, or anything else—call or text us anytime. We treat our carriers like partners because that's what you are.
When a shipper posts a load, our AI price calculator suggests a fair market rate from current lane data—price per mile on longer runs, or a flat price per trip on shorter ones. You see that market rate before you quote, and if your bid comes in unusually high or low, the system flags it so you can adjust with confidence. Because other carriers may be quoting the same load at the same time, a strong, timely bid gives you the best shot at winning it.
Yes. You and the shipper can negotiate directly through the platform for as long as you both want—there is no broker in the middle setting the number for you. Just keep in mind that expedited freight moves fast and other carriers may be bidding on the same load, so a shipper may book before a long back-and-forth is finished.
To be activated you need active operating authority in good standing, a minimum of $1,000,000 in auto liability and $100,000 in cargo coverage, and a clean FMCSA safety record. Carriers with an 'Unsatisfactory' or 'Conditional' safety rating are not eligible. We verify authority and insurance at onboarding and re-check active insurance on an ongoing basis.
The 8% platform fee is your single, disclosed cost—there is no hidden broker spread stacked on top of it. It covers your direct connection to shippers, market-rate data, load support from pickup to delivery, billing and collections, payment processing, and paperwork handling. You see it upfront on every load, so there are no surprise deductions.
No. With SuperFastPay you can be paid within 24 hours of uploading your POD—no invoicing, no separate factoring company, and no chargeback for shipper non-payment once a load is completed properly and approved.* Traditional factoring typically charges 2.5–5% plus per-invoice fees for the same speed. *Standard exceptions apply, such as cargo claims, fraud, missing paperwork, or contract violations.
Every pickup and delivery is confirmed with a one-time passcode (OTP) that verifies driver identity, location, and time. This chain-of-custody step protects both you and the shipper, cuts out double-brokering and misdelivery risk, and creates a clean digital record tied to your payment.
We're built for expedited cargo vans and sprinter vans first, and we also welcome larger expedited equipment such as straight and box trucks. Typical freight is time-critical: same-day and next-day expedite, JIT and line-down manufacturing runs, AOG and critical parts, and emergency recovery.
