What Highway Connect is
Highway Connect is web software for freight brokers that combines carrier sourcing, onboarding, compliance checks, and continuous monitoring. Carriers can complete a self-service onboarding flow while the broker team reviews the results. Identity checks examine government IDs, match a live photo, and confirm the person’s authority to act for the carrier; Highway says the same rules apply in Canada and Mexico. Brokers can define requirements for insurance, authority, lane history, and equipment, including classifications for base, high-value, and hazmat loads. Connect monitors those rules in real time and alerts users to identity changes or expiring insurance. When a carrier falls out of compliance, it can flag and deactivate that carrier in the TMS. Risk signals include shared phones, authority gaps, double-brokering patterns, and digital fingerprints. Highway lists integrations with leading TMS, ELD, and freight platforms, plus more than 30 ecosystem partners. Pricing is available on request.
