Commission Engine: Transparent Splits, Automatic Accrual

Every brokered load's commission is computed, split, and recorded automatically — no spreadsheets, no month-end reconciliation surprises.

How Commission Is Calculated

The gross commission on a load is its margin: what the shipper paid minus what the carrier was paid. That margin is then split between you and the platform.

The Splits

| Load type | Your share | Platform share | |-----------|-----------|----------------| | Spot / brokered loads | 85% | 15% | | Dedicated lane — up to $500K projected annual value | 88% | 12% | | Dedicated lane — $500K–$1.5M | 90% | 10% | | Dedicated lane — $1.5M–$5M | 92% | 8% | | Dedicated lane — $5M+ | 94% | 6% + one-time 1% success fee at signing |

Dedicated-lane rates are frozen on the offer when you accept it — a later rate-card change never touches a signed lane. See Lane Intelligence for how dedicated offers are generated.

When Commission Accrues

Commission accrues when a load is delivered with a confirmed POD — not at booking, not at invoicing. One commission record per shipment, guaranteed: the engine is idempotent, so a load can never double-accrue.

Tracking Your Commissions

From the Commissions page in your dashboard:

  • Ledger — every commission record with load, margin, split, and status
  • Summary — totals by period: accrued, pending payout, paid
  • Config — your org's current split and any dedicated-lane rates in effect

Payouts
