Van broker margins fell to 13.0% (from 13.9% in April) and reefer margins dropped to 12.5% (from 14.1%) as competition for selective carrier participation intensified. When spot-market demand tightens, brokers who respond slowly to shippers and carriers bleed margin on every load. The bottleneck isn't pricing—it's how fast you respond and how efficiently you convert inquiries into booked, covered loads."},{"icon":"DollarSign","stat":"$19","color":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","title":"Volume growth can hide an all-in loss per load","description":"For a mid-market non-asset brokerage, total cost per load before interest runs around $205 against average revenue per load of $1,912—leaving roughly $189 in gross margin per load before overhead. Factor in everything and many brokerages are losing about $16 per load before interest, or nearly $19 all-in once financing costs are counted. Growing through volume alone doesn't fix unit economics. The fix is improving conversion on the leads you already generate and lowering your cost per qualified conversation, not buying more leads to feed a leaky follow-up process."},{"icon":"Clock","stat":"10-day","color":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","title":"The 10-day cash gap is quietly taxing every load","description":"Shippers pay in 40 days while carriers expect payment in 30, creating a 10-day cash gap. On $30M in annual revenue, that gap ties up roughly $820,000 in working capital, and at 7% interest it adds about $3.70 per load in working capital financing cost. Every load you book on slow follow-up or poor qualification makes that financing drag worse. Faster lead-to-booked-load conversion and reactivating contacts already in your CRM let you grow revenue without proportionally growing the cash tied up in the gap."}],"quickWins":["Get AI search visibility (AEO) working so shippers searching 'reliable freight broker for [lane/vertical]' find you cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews—not just your competitors.","Run a Creative Sprint to test more shipper and carrier acquisition ad concepts at media-buying speed—10 concepts, 3 hook variations, up to 30 platform-ready videos from one brief."],"subheadline":"We help freight brokerages generate leads, turn them into booked calls fast, and recover old leads—all with AI-powered follow-up that works 24/7.","problemTitle":"The Margin Crisis in Freight Brokerage","testimonials":[{"quote":"With van margins sitting around 13%, we couldn't afford to lose inbound shippers to slow response.
