First quarter on Palomo I cleared more in lane backhauls than I did all of last winter running my old book. The matching is the difference.

Palomo
Driver application
Fill the empty miles between barns.
Match into vetted owner-posted loads on the lanes you already drive, no broker cut, no spreadsheet follow-up.
Tools that run your hauling business
Palomo replaces the clipboard, the spreadsheet, and the four phone numbers you hand out before every season — one inbox for loads, dispatch, and payouts.
Reach owners directly from the app
Skip the broker layer entirely. Owners post the moves they need; you quote the lanes you already drive.
- Saved-lane alerts when a matching load drops
- Quote in your numbers — Palomo never auto-prices
- Backhaul suggestions on every booked outbound leg
- Repeat owners save your contact for next season
Run dispatch in one place
Bookings, owner messages, paperwork, and route status — every thread for every horse stays attached to the load.
- Owner chat that survives a dropped phone
- Coggins, BOLs, and health certs auto-attached
- Push pickup and drop times to Google Calendar
- Add fleet drivers and split assignments
Keep more of every booking
A flat 12% service fee covers payments, fraud cover, and dispute support — no factoring middleman taking a second slice.
- ACH payout within 24 hours of confirmed delivery
- Cargo backed by Palomo's $1M secondary cover
- No application fee, no monthly subscription
- 1099-K and trip ledger ready every January

Word from the cab
What other drivers are saying
I get to see who's shipping with me before I quote. That kept me from picking up two loads I'd have regretted last fall — and it lets me build relationships with the owners I want.

Friday deposit, paperwork already filed, no chasing the owner for the second half. That's the part nobody else does — and the only reason I run a smaller book now.
