The checks
What “vetted” means here — exactly.
Every claim on a match card names the source that produced it, with the date it passed. Nothing on the card is unverifiable.
- Operating authorityVerified with FMCSA: active property authority. The date it passed is printed on the card.
- Surety bondThe $75,000 BMC-84 on file with FMCSA — the bond that pays when a broker doesn't. Dated.
- InsuranceCertificate confirmed with the desk's own producer, not a screenshot. Dated.
- Identity and contactsPrincipals reached on the filed number, by STRUCTURE. Dated.
- Service fitThe desk's own signed profile — equipment, regions, monthly capacity, non-negotiables. Your lane is gated against it before the desk ever sees your freight.
Checks are point-in-time and re-run each period — a lapsed filing pulls the desk off placement. Missed contact windows and passed lanes live on the desk's record with us.
Why this exists: the average stolen load ran $273,990 in 2025 (Verisk CargoNet), and FMCSA logged 8,000+ double-brokering complaints the same year — four times 2021.
