Connect

Know who's hauling your freight.

Connect brings carrier sourcing, vetting, and onboarding into one platform that never stops checking — so every load you cover starts with proof, not promises.


Behind 80% of U.S. brokered loads. Active COIs on file for 175,000+ carriers.

Trusted by the leading names in freight

The carrier you vetted isn't always the carrier you book.

Authority lapses. Ownership changes. Insurance expires. Most vetting happens once — everything after rides on a decision made months ago. The loss lives in the gap between approved and delivered — and your name is on every load that crosses it.

Carriers change between loads
Authority, insurance, and ownership shift on their schedule — not your review calendar.
Paying attention isn't a system
Manual checks catch what someone happens to notice. Fraud counts on that.
Records only tell part of the story
Public data shows what a carrier filed — not who's actually behind it.

Three steps. One standard.

Verify

Every user proves who they are, and their right to represent the carrier. No verification, no entry.

Connect

Your rules decide who joins your network and sees your freight. No pass, no load details.

Monitor

The checking never stops. If anything changes, you know first.

Onboarding and Identity

Fast for carriers. Secure for you.

Speed and scrutiny aren't a tradeoff — one flow, one standard.

Verify the person behind the profile
Government ID, live photo match, plus proof they can act for the carrier. Every user, every time.
No more chasing
Carriers onboard themselves, no email chains, no phone tag. Your team reviews outcomes, not paperwork.
Turn interest into capacity
Carriers who find you become verified, bookable capacity in one self-serve flow, no rep hours burned.
Both sides of the border
Canada and Mexico included, with the same identity checks and the same rules across your whole network.

Rules and Classifications

Carrier compliance that enforces itself.

Set your standard once. Connect applies it automatically — every carrier, checked in real time, the same answer across your team.

Rules that fit your freight
Insurance, authority, lane history, and equipment — with classifications for base, high-value, and hazmat loads. You define the standard; our team helps you build it.
Enforcement in real time
The moment a carrier falls out of compliance, they're flagged and deactivated in your TMS automatically. No manual sweeps, no gaps between checks.
Answers you can defend
Every carrier gets a clear call — Pass, Partial Pass, Incomplete, or Fail — and their Highway Badge shows where they stand. No digging, no guessing.

Continuous Risk Monitoring

Approval is where most vetting ends. It's where Connect begins.

Connect watches what changes — so trust holds, load after load.

Checks that don't clock out
Your rules run against every carrier in real time, not just the day they onboarded.
Risk signals, spotted early
Identity changes, expiring insurance, a truck's data telling a different story: alerts fire the moment they surface, and fraud reports get filed, tracked, and resolved without leaving Connect.
Ahead of the exposure
Shared phones, authority gaps, a familiar fleet under a brand-new name: the yellow flags that precede losses, surfaced before they touch a load.

One broker reports fraud. Every broker gets smarter.

Connect runs on signals no single brokerage can see — double-brokering patterns, digital fingerprints, repeat offenders trying new names. Bad actors rarely finish verification. Honest carriers do.
