FreightCheck
FreightCheck combines carrier and broker vetting, identity verification, and carrier onboarding to help prevent freight fraud.
What FreightCheck is
FreightCheck combines carrier and broker vetting, identity verification, and carrier onboarding to help prevent freight fraud. Searches by MC number, DOT number, VIN, or name draw on FMCSA, SAFER, Secretary of State, and Department of Insurance records. Checks cover authority, insurance, safety, inspections, crashes, identity, linked businesses, and fraud history. Automated signals flag chameleon carriers and stolen identities and cross-reference entities with known fraud rings.
Identity checks pair government ID capture with biometric liveness and a real-time face match. Before cargo release, SecurePickup compares a driver's live face with their pre-registered identity and records per-pickup attestation. Recipients must verify identity before viewing rate confirmations, bills of lading, or contracts; access is logged and revocable. Onboarding gathers insurance certificates, carrier-broker packets, ELD connections, and W-9 or tax details. FreightCheck monitors ownership transfers, MC revocations, and fraud signals, and offers an API for adding checks to a TMS or workflow. Pricing is available on request. Its terms say vetting data may not be accurate, complete, or timely, and verification does not guarantee a safe party or transaction.
