How it works
Three steps from the call sheet to a truck.
ReelHaul is a lead-generation platform, not a broker. Every step is built so conversations start after production and the operator both opt in.
Production posts the gig
Borough, vehicle class, capacity, liftgate, date, standby need, expected rates. Free, no account required.
Operators raise their hand
Approved operators see an anonymized alert that matches their profile. One click sends their equipment, USDOT/MC, insurance, and past production credits.
You approve, then contact
You review the matched operators, approve who you want to talk to. We log consent on both sides — only then do contact details change hands.
What you can book
Every class of vehicle a NYC shoot needs.
Operators post their capacity, liftgate, borough radius, and recent production credits. Matching prefers the closest fit on all of them.

Class 03
Cargo van
Small crews, run-and-gun pickups, last-leg deliveries between set and shop. Quiet, easy to place on NYC streets.

- Easy midtown parking

Class 04

The ReelHaul promise
Six things ReelHaul will never do.
The brief said the gap is between word-of-mouth dispatch and broad freight boards — we close it by staying narrow on purpose.
No money moves through ReelHaul — invoicing, payment, and 1099s are between you and the operator.
No freight crosses our system — booking, dispatch, BOL, and proof-of-delivery stay with the operator.
No crew is hired through us — we do not see IATSE, teamsters, drivers, or non-driver crew.
No carrier or broker relationship — ReelHaul is lead generation, not a 49 CFR broker.
No insurance role — we do not bind, endorse, quote, or amend coverage.
No contact details without consent — phone, email, and address only after both sides approve.
Lead generation only — ReelHaul is not a 49 CFR broker, motor carrier, employer, insurer, or payment processor.
FAQ
The questions NYC production teams ask first.
Tax, payment, and broker status all point in the same direction — ReelHaul stays narrow on purpose.
