Every load checked. Nothing missed.
Instant market-rate quotes, a system that flags liftgates, surcharges, and problem carriers before they cost you, live vetted trucking options, and tracking that comes to you — all on a record you can hand to your boss. The organized freight desk, without hiring one. $0 platform fee; keep the TMS you already run.
Freight shouldn't cost you the load — or the visibility.
Three things go wrong with freight, and they go wrong the same way at every mid-size desk in the country. None of them are your team's fault. All of them are fixable.
The no-show nobody saw coming
The carrier doesn't show, and nobody knows until the dock calls. The afternoon turns into phone tag, the appointment slips, and the customer hears about it before you do.
The charge that surfaces on the invoice
The liftgate nobody flagged. The limited-access surcharge nobody priced. Detention you never saw coming. Costs somebody else knew about — that you find out about at month-end.
The upgrade that holds you hostage
Modernizing means a rip-and-replace migration, a project to fund, and a vendor you can't get back out of once the data's inside.
Visible. Affordable. Organized.
Visibility on every load and every dollar, a platform that costs nothing to adopt, and a record that proves every move. The tools a big shipper's freight department has — sized for a desk of two.
The system checks so you don't have to.
Watch it work a real quote: a residential delivery gets flagged for the liftgate nobody mentioned, a limited-access pickup gets its surcharge priced up front, and 68 accessorial checks run before you commit a dollar. The surprise charge that used to show up on your invoice shows up here instead — before you book.
Liftgates, residential and limited-access fees, detention exposure — surfaced and priced while you can still say no, never absorbed silently or discovered at month-end.
Ask for a combination the open market barely runs — a liftgate on a 53′ van, a curtainside trailer — and the system says so up front, with what it means for price and capacity.
Every warning and every acknowledgment is written to the load record — so when the invoice arrives, it matches the quote, and you can prove it.

Residential delivery detected — no dock on file; liftgate likely required (+$75–$150). Flagged before you commit.
Limited-access pickup — construction site. Expect a surcharge (typ. $100), priced up front, not on the invoice.
68 accessorial checks run · 2 flagged — every added cost surfaced and priced before the quote, never discovered on the invoice.
See it for real
Two minutes inside the portal
A real quote, the cost warnings firing, freight packed in 3D, live carrier sourcing, and the invoice — recorded on the live system, not a mockup.
Every load, watched end to end.
A desk that watches every load at once, never forgets a follow-up, and never clocks out — so your team stops chasing status and runs the business. It covers the loose ends; a human signs before anything irreversible.
Quoted in seconds, with a real capacity read
A market-rate estimate and a capacity-probability score, side by side, in seconds — so you commit to coverage that actually exists, not hope.
Dispatched and tracked at every milestone
Carrier confirmed, in transit, delivered, exception — every milestone tracked, and you hear about it by email or SMS the moment status changes. No status to chase.
Vetted before any rate-con
Every carrier is checked against FMCSA authority and safety data and screened against a 45-point fraud-pattern library before we book. We vet before we book — never after.
Loose ends covered, so nothing is missed
The follow-up that always slipped, the exception that surfaced too late, the reconcile nobody got to — covered, quietly, every time. The desk doesn’t forget.
It never clocks out — and a human signs before anything irreversible.
Six layers between a fraudster and your freight.
Double-brokering, identity theft, and payment diversion are the freight world's quiet tax — and they hit mid-size shippers hardest, because nobody at a mid-size shipper has time to vet every truck. We built the vetting in, so every load gets it whether or not anyone is watching.
Identity checked against the federal record
Every carrier is verified against FMCSA authority, safety, and registration data before we book. The carrier at your dock is the carrier we vetted.
45 fraud patterns screened before booking
Day-old MC numbers, phone-port flags, banking churn, and more — a 45-point fraud-pattern library screened on every carrier, every time. A good rate never buys an exception.
Third-party verification layered on
Deeper independent carrier-verification services layer onto our own checks as we enable them — defense in depth, not a single gate.
Callers verified against the carrier on record
On the phone, a caller is screened against the carrier's federally registered number and verified before anything about a load is discussed. A mismatch raises the alarm, not the load.
Payment changes wait 48 hours
Any change to where a carrier gets paid triggers a 48-hour cooling period and identity re-verification — the most common payment-diversion play, closed by design.
A person signs before freight is committed
No load is dispatched to a carrier without a human signature on the record. Automation does the checking; a person owns the commitment.
Negotiation never weakens vetting. A good rate never buys an exception.
Watch your options appear — priced against the market.
When your load needs a truck, vetted options land in your portal in real time: each one authority-checked and fraud-screened before you ever see it, each priced against the live market band, each held for you while you decide. You review, you book — nothing books itself.
Capacity is available and pricing is holding near the recent band — a fair window to book.
Authority, insurance, on-time history, and the fraud screen — every check runs before an option is shown. If it made the list, it passed.
Every option shows where it sits versus the market band on your lane, plus a live capacity read — so you know a fair price when you see one, and you can show your boss why you took it.
Each option holds its price on its own timer — long enough to decide, never long enough to go stale. And you're the one who clicks book.
