How does backhaul revenue sharing work in dedicated fleet contracts?

When a dedicated carrier books a third-party freight load on an empty return leg, net revenue is shared (typically 50/50 or 60/40) between the dedicated carrier and the primary contract shipper as an invoice credit.

How does Exspeedite automate backhaul monetization?

Exspeedite automatically publishes returning empty dedicated trucks to the Hot Board, books vetted freight, handles billing, and generates transparent revenue-sharing settlement credits.

Dedicated Carrier Backhaul Revenue Sharing & Capacity Portal

Enterprise portal framework for dedicated motor carriers and private fleet conversions: syndicate empty return-trip tractor capacity, automate contractual shipper revenue credits, and convert deadhead miles into gross margin.

Automated Hot Board Syndication

The instant an outbound dedicated run is dispatched, Exspeedite creates a predictive return-leg truck posting on the Hot Board, matching verified brokers and spot shippers for seamless reloading.

Transparent Shipper Revenue Share

Shipper contracts stipulate revenue sharing on third-party backhauls (typically 50% shipper credit / 50% carrier margin). Exspeedite calculates net revenue and applies automated credits directly to the weekly freight invoice.

App-Less CheckPoint Visibility

Third-party shippers receive real-time, browser-based GPS tracking links via CheckPoint, eliminating check calls while dedicated fleet drivers maintain full route integrity.
