Cargo Protection Platform

A trusted carrier isn't a safe load.

Reputation checks clear the company once. But carrier accounts get hijacked on load boards — and a stolen login wears a clean 2-year record. FreightSeal verifies every single load in the moment: the truck, the insurance, the driver that actually shows up. Not who the carrier was — who showed up today.

The difference

Other tools

Verify the carrier. Then they stop. A good record and two years active — trusted on every load after that.

FreightSeal

Verifies the carrier — then the insurance, the driver, and the actual truck at the dock. Theft happens at pickup. That's where we are.

Cargo theft figure: Verisk CargoNet, 2025.

The problem

Your cargo is
the real target.

Double brokering, identity theft, ghost carriers — every scam ends the same way: your freight loaded onto a truck that drives off and disappears. A phone call won't stop it.

Double brokering
Fraudsters re-broker your load to an unknown truck and vanish with it. You're the one left explaining where the cargo went.
Fake insurance certificates
Forged COIs circulate everywhere. If the coverage is fake, a stolen load leaves you with nothing to claim.
Wrong truck at pickup
The company you cleared sends a different, uninsured truck. By the time anyone notices, the cargo is already gone.
Phone calls can be spoofed
Scripted calls and spoofed numbers pass a verbal check easily. Trusting a voice on the phone is how loads disappear.

The Solution

Four layers.
One confirmed status.

Each layer is independent. To walk off with the load, a fraudster would have to beat all four at the same time — and they can't.

Layer 01
Instant SMS to the carrier's federal number
We send a verification request for the specific order. If the carrier doesn't respond, we follow up with a voice call to their FMCSA-registered number — no action needed from you.
Layer 02
Direct contact with the insurance agent
We reach out to the insurance agent on your behalf — you don't need to make calls or send emails. The VIN list arrives directly, without going through the carrier.
Layer 03
On-site pickup confirmation
The truck can't earn a verified status unless the driver is confirmed at the pickup address. Not at the address — no confirmation, and no chance to drive off with someone else's freight.
Layer 04
VIN plate photo match
The driver photographs the VIN plate on-site. Our platform instantly matches it against the insurance-confirmed vehicle list — same truck, right place, right time.

Upload COI — we handle the rest

Driver photos VIN plate at pickup
An SMS link goes to the driver. At the pickup address, the driver is confirmed on-site and photographs the VIN plate. We match the VIN against the insurance-confirmed vehicle list.

Beyond the four checks

The four checks are what happens.
This is what makes them hold up.

Verification is not inherited

A carrier cleared last month is a different carrier today. Policies renew, trucks are sold, new trucks are added and never reported. Every load is verified on its own terms — the insured vehicle list is confirmed for that load, not carried over.

Each side sees only what it needs

The cargo owner sees the outcome — release or do not release — never the carrier, the insurance, or the VIN. The carrier sees the broker, never the cargo owner. The broker stays the party that knows both ends — enforced by the system, not by a setting.

A record, not just a verdict

Every check, timestamp and confirmation is kept — including the insured vehicle list as it stood on the day of that pickup. When a load is questioned months later, there is a documented verification record rather than a recollection.

Three portals · One platform

Every party has
their own view.

Broker, carrier, cargo owner — each sees exactly what they need, nothing more.

Full four-layer workflow,
right from Chrome.

One Chrome side panel covers FMCSA lookup, SMS verification, COI upload, and pickup VIN match — without leaving your dispatch tab.

Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II  ·  May 14, 2026  ·  9–0

Courts can now judge
your carrier selection.

In Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II (May 14, 2026), the Supreme Court held 9–0 that federal law does not preempt state negligent-hiring claims against brokers. How you selected the carrier can now be examined in court. Verification that exists only in memory leaves nothing to show — FreightSeal creates a timestamped, documented verification record for every pickup.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Neither. FreightSeal is a real-time verification tool that runs four independent checks before a truck moves. It integrates alongside your TMS — it doesn't replace it.
No signup to receive a verification request. Carriers tap a link in an SMS — no app, no account. If they want the free Carrier Cabinet, they sign up free with just their DOT number.
FreightSeal sends follow-ups. If there is no agent reply, the carrier is flagged for insurance non-response and you are notified.
At the pickup site the driver photographs the VIN plate. Our platform matches it against the insurance-confirmed vehicle list — so the truck loading your cargo is the exact one we cleared.
No. FreightSeal is a verification tool. It confirms carrier identity and insurance documentation but does not guarantee coverage or act as an insurance product.

Stop trusting.
Start verifying.

Four layers between your cargo and the wrong truck. One confirmed status.
