What we do
Clear support from load search through booking.
SAFN helps reefer owner-operators and small carriers find and book freight that fits the truck, the driver’s available hours, and the carrier’s operating goals.
Full Load Evaluation
Rate, loaded miles, deadhead, appointments, commodity, temperature, weight, destination market, and reload potential reviewed together.
Rate Negotiation
SAFN works with the broker to establish the strongest available rate and clear booking terms for the proposed move.
Carrier Approval
You receive the complete proposed move—including advantages and concerns—and make the final decision. No forced dispatch.
Booking & Rate Confirmation
After your approval, SAFN confirms the booking, obtains the applicable rate confirmation, and hands it off to the carrier.
HOS-Aware Planning
Evaluation considers available hours, recap or reset plans, appointment timing, and whether the schedule is legally and realistically achievable.
Straightforward pricing
No SAFN fee unless the load is completed.
SAFN charges 5%–7% of the agreed gross freight rate on successfully completed loads. Each carrier’s exact percentage is established in a written nonexclusive dispatch agreement before service begins.
No SAFN fee is charged on declined, broker-canceled, or incomplete loads. SAFN does not take a percentage of TONU or other cancellation payments.

Meet Semir Kardas
Driver-first judgment behind every proposed load.
Semir has more than 10 years of trucking and dispatch experience, including supporting daily operations for a 45-truck reefer fleet and working directly with drivers, owner-operators, brokers, customers, shippers, and receivers.
Trucking is also personal to Semir. His father was a truck driver, so he learned early that a load that looks good from behind a desk may still be a bad move for the person driving it. Before presenting a load, Semir considers HOS, deadhead, appointments, commodity, temperature, weight, destination market, and realistic reload options.
When you work with SAFN, you work directly with Semir. You receive the complete load information and make the final decision—without forced dispatch or a call-center handoff.
Direct accountabilityOne consistent point of U.S.-based contact.
Driver-first evaluationThe full move is considered—not only the posted rate.
Carrier controlYou decide what gets booked.
Service lanes
SAFN’s primary reefer operating network.
A carrier may be based anywhere in the United States. Routine load planning focuses on the highlighted states—not the carrier’s legal address or home market.
When suitable freight is available, SAFN may help position a truck from outside the map into the highlighted network and may later look for a return-home load. Ongoing West-only load planning is not part of SAFN’s standard service.

Simple carrier setup
Clear written terms without long-term exclusivity.
Begin with the short carrier inquiry. After SAFN reviews the carrier’s authority, reefer equipment, operating needs, and service-network fit, eligible carriers receive a written nonexclusive dispatch agreement describing the service scope, exact fee, carrier-approval requirement, and completed-load-only terms.
No obligation. Sensitive documents are requested privately only after SAFN reviews the inquiry and speaks with the carrier.
Tell us about your operation
Complete the short carrier inquiry so SAFN can learn about your authority, reefer equipment, operating areas, and goals.
Have a direct fit conversation
Talk directly with Semir about SAFN’s scope, communication process, service network, and pricing.
Review the written agreement
Eligible carriers receive a written nonexclusive dispatch agreement describing the exact fee, authority, responsibilities, and payment terms.

Still have a question? Call or email and you’ll speak directly with SAFN.
What services does SAFN provide?
SAFN provides reefer load search, full-move evaluation, rate negotiation, broker communication, booking of carrier-approved loads, and rate-confirmation handoff.
Do you work with new authorities?
New authorities may be considered. Broker acceptance varies, so SAFN cannot guarantee that a particular broker will approve a new carrier or that specific freight will be available.
Does SAFN work with reefers only?
Yes. SAFN currently focuses exclusively on reefer freight. Dry vans, flatbeds, box trucks, Sprinter vans, and hotshots are not part of the standard service.
How much does SAFN charge?
SAFN charges 5%–7% of the agreed gross freight rate on successfully completed loads. The exact percentage is established in writing before service begins.
Does SAFN charge for canceled loads or TONU?
No SAFN fee is charged on declined, broker-canceled, or incomplete loads. SAFN does not take a percentage of TONU or other cancellation payments.
Does SAFN use forced dispatch?
No. SAFN presents the final load details, and the carrier makes the decision before the booking is confirmed.
Does the carrier have to be based in a highlighted state?
No. A carrier may be legally based anywhere in the United States. SAFN’s routine load planning focuses on the highlighted service network, not the carrier’s home address.
Can SAFN help a truck enter the network or return home?
When suitable freight is available, SAFN may help position a truck from outside the map into the highlighted network and may later look for a return-home load. Routine ongoing booking stays focused within SAFN’s highlighted states; SAFN does not offer ongoing West-only service.
What happens after SAFN books a load?
SAFN hands off the rate confirmation, and the carrier manages the active shipment, including tracking, check calls, delays, shipment documents, billing, factoring, collections, and claims.
Is there a long-term or exclusive agreement?
No long-term exclusivity is required. SAFN uses a written nonexclusive dispatch agreement so the service scope, exact fee, authorization, and payment terms are clear.
Does SAFN guarantee freight or rates?
No. Freight availability, rates, broker approval, lane conditions, and reload opportunities change constantly. SAFN cannot guarantee a particular load, rate, or broker approval.
