You approveBefore the broker gets your name
Anyone can find a broker. Finding one you can trust costs time, money and trial and error.
If you've ever posted a load or started calling around, you know how it goes.
The broker can walk away from a bad load. You can't.
It's your freight, your dock and your customer. When the pick goes wrong, this is what lands on you.
None of it starts at the dock. It starts with which broker you pick.
Don't pick from everyone. Get one broker that's already checked.
Before tendering to a new broker, a careful traffic manager runs four checks. Done by hand, for one lane, they look like this:
- 1Find a broker that runs the laneNot any broker. One that moves your trailer type between your origin and destination.
- 2Look up the MCConfirm active broker authority on FMCSA's SAFER Company Snapshot.
- 3Confirm the bond and insuranceCheck the BMC-84 or BMC-85 filing on FMCSA's L&I system and ask for a certificate of insurance.
- 4Make sure the caller works thereConfirm the person on the phone belongs to the company behind that MC, not someone using its number.
That's a morning of work, and most shippers skip part of it. The STRUCTURE desk does all four before you see a name, then shows you the result and the MC so you can check any of it yourself.
Your freight. You pick who moves it.
From your lane to one approved broker
No bidding, no auction, no blast. A person reads your load and makes one match.
You send the lane
Pickup, delivery, pickup date, trailer and what the freight is. Put weight, pallets, set point, tarps, appointments or liftgate in the notes, and say if the lane runs every week.
The desk picks one broker
Someone on the STRUCTURE desk reads it and picks one licensed U.S. broker from the private member network that runs that lane with that trailer, then runs the four checks.
You see who it is
The broker's legal name, MC and USDOT numbers and the result of each check. Or, if nobody in the network fits, an email that says so plainly.
You approve or pass
Approve by replying, and that one broker gets your contact details and quotes you direct on its own MC. You book with the broker, not with us.
Four checks before a broker reaches you
Every broker put in front of you has passed all four. If one fails, that broker isn't matched.
Operating authorityFMCSA · broker MC
Active property-broker authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, under the MC number the broker will quote you on.
A broker needs that authority to arrange your truckload for pay. An inactive or revoked MC is the first thing to rule out.
$75,000 financial securityBMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust
FMCSA requires every broker to keep $75,000 in financial security on file, as a BMC-84 surety bond or a BMC-85 trust fund. We check that the filing is on record and active.
It is money that can be claimed against if the broker doesn't pay what it owes, most often to the carrier that hauled the load. Nothing active on file, no match.
InsurancePolicies in force
We check which policies the broker carries and that they are in force, for example contingent cargo and general liability, and list them in your match email.
These protect the broker's business. They are not cargo insurance on your load; ask the broker how cargo claims are handled and who the carrier's insurer is before you tender.
IdentityThe company is who it says
We confirm the people we deal with belong to the brokerage whose MC they use.
Impersonating a real broker's MC is how double brokering and cargo theft start. This check is aimed at exactly that.
You get the MC before you approve. Check authority on FMCSA's SAFER Company Snapshot, and the bond or trust and insurance filings on FMCSA's L&I system. If anything doesn't match what we sent you, decline.
The broker, the MC, the checks. Then you decide.
The answer comes as one email from desk@structurelogistics.com. Before a broker gets anything from you, you get this from them.
- Your lane, restatedPickup, delivery, date and trailer, so you can see the desk read it right.
- The broker's legal name, MC and USDOTThe real numbers, ready to look up yourself.
- The result of each checkAuthority, financial security, insurance on file, identity.
- Approve or declineReply either way. Nothing reaches the broker until you approve.

Truckload, partials and open deck
The desk matches on lane and trailer. A broker that moves dry van out of the Southeast is not the one for your reefer out of the Central Valley.

Everything you get, and what it costs you

| One broker that runs your laneMatched on origin, destination and trailer from the private member network. | Included | |
| Four checks done before you see a nameAuthority, $75,000 financial security, insurance, identity. The MC is in the email to re-check. | Included | |

| No obligation to bookThe quote is the broker's, on its own MC. Take it or leave it. | Included |
Not now, not per load, not hidden in the rate. Brokers in the network pay STRUCTURE flat membership dues, the same whether they move your load or not.
The freight rate is between you and the broker you approve.
A straight answer within the hour
Send a load and the desk writes back within the hour: one checked broker for you to approve, or a plain “nobody in the network fits this one.” You are not left waiting on a quote that isn't coming.
What you risk: three short steps. It's free, you're not obliged to approve, and if you decline, the broker never learns who you are. The worst case is a straight answer you didn't want to hear, delivered fast enough to act on.
We're paid a flat fee by brokers. Never by the load.
You should know how a free service makes money, because that tells you whose side it's on.
Because STRUCTURE doesn't earn more when your rate is higher, the desk has no reason to steer you to an expensive broker. And because a broker's dues don't depend on how many shippers it's sent, there's no reason to send your details anywhere you didn't approve.
Three ways to find a broker for a lane
| STRUCTURE desk | Posting on a load board | Calling brokers yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who gets your contact details | One broker, after you approve it by name | Anyone who can see the post | Each broker you call |
| Who checks authority, bond and insurance | The desk, before you see the broker | You | You |
| What you hear back | A named broker, or a plain no | Calls from whoever wants the load | Whatever each broker comes back with |
| Your time | Three short steps, then one yes or no | Posting, then screening callers | Dialing, re-explaining the load, checking each MC |
| Cost to you | $0 | A board subscription | Your time |
None of these excludes the others. If the desk says nobody in the network fits, the other two are still there.
We pick and check the broker. The broker moves your freight.
What we do
- ✓Read your load and pick one broker from the private member network that runs your lane and trailer.
- ✓Check that broker's FMCSA authority, $75,000 financial security, insurance and identity before you see it.
- ✓Show you the broker's name and MC first, and hold your details until you approve.
- ✓Tell you plainly when nobody in the network fits.
What we don't do
- ✕We are not a broker or a carrier and have no MC number. The broker quotes and contracts on its own MC.
- ✕We don't set, take a share of, or mark up your rate. Price is between you and the broker.
- ✕We don't handle payment. You pay the broker on the terms you agree with it.
- ✕We don't sell, rent or share your details with anyone you haven't approved.
How to know it's really us
Freight fraud and impersonation are real risks in trucking. These are our rules. If something doesn't match them, it isn't STRUCTURE. Forward it to desk@structurelogistics.com before you reply or pay anyone.
@structurelogistics.com. Not Gmail, not a look-alike domain.desk@.Is STRUCTURE a freight broker?
No. STRUCTURE is not a broker or a carrier and has no MC number. It runs a private network of licensed U.S. freight brokers and a desk that matches your load to one of them. The broker you approve quotes and moves the load on its own authority.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. Brokers pay flat membership dues to be in the network, not per load and not a cut of the rate. The price of your freight is between you and the broker you approve.
How fast do I hear back?
Within the hour. You get either one matched broker with its name, MC number and check results, or a plain answer that nobody in the network fits this load.
Who sees my name, email and phone?
The STRUCTURE desk, and nobody else until you approve a broker. Then that one broker gets your contact details so it can quote you. If you decline, no broker learns who you are.
How many brokers get my load?
One: the broker you approved. Your details are never sold or sent to a list.
What exactly do you check on the broker?
Active FMCSA property-broker authority; the $75,000 financial security FMCSA requires, on file and active (a BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust); which insurance policies are in force; and identity, meaning the people you'll deal with belong to the company behind that MC. The MC is in your match email so you can look it up yourself.
What does the BMC-84 bond actually do for me?
FMCSA requires every freight broker to hold $75,000 in financial security, as a BMC-84 surety bond or a BMC-85 trust fund. It exists so there is money to claim against if a broker fails to pay what it owes under its contracts. We confirm it is on file; you can see its status on the broker's record in FMCSA's L&I system.
What if I don't like the broker you picked?
Decline it. That broker never learns your name. Nothing is owed and nothing is passed on.
Can I send more than one load or a recurring lane?
Yes. Send each lane, and mark how often it runs in the form. A recurring lane helps the desk pick a broker that wants that freight week after week.
What should I include to get an accurate match?
Pickup and delivery city or ZIP, trailer type, pickup date and what the freight is. Weight, pallet count, temperature set point, tarps, dock hours, appointments, liftgate or hazmat help the desk pick the right broker the first time.
Who actually hauls my freight?
The broker you approve books the carrier under its own broker authority, the same way it would for any shipper. Ask it who the carrier is and put your requirements in writing on the rate confirmation, as you would with any broker.
Who do I pay, and who handles claims?
You pay the broker you book with, on the terms you agree with it. STRUCTURE does not invoice, collect or hold payment. The shipment, its paperwork and any claim sit with the broker that arranged it on its own MC.
Can I call you?
The desk works by email, so every lane, match and approval is in writing. Write to desk@structurelogistics.com. The broker you approve can contact you by phone or email directly.
Who is STRUCTURE?
STRUCTURE is the trading name of Lavisha International FZE LLC. It runs a private network of licensed U.S. freight brokers and a desk that matches U.S. shippers to them. The founder is Haarith Imran.
Send one lane. Get one checked broker within the hour.
Free. No account. No obligation. And if you don't approve the broker, nobody learns your name.
