Empowering Carriers to Verify Brokers and Combat Fraud

Highway launched Highway for Carriers, what is said to be a first-of-its-kind product designed to equip carriers who prioritize transparency with the information they need to verify brokers, make informed decisions, and protect their business from fraud.

“The launch of Highway for Carriers is about the fight against fraud,” says Michael Caney, chief commercial officer at Highway. “For the first time, carriers will have access to independently verified data to make informed decisions—just as brokers do. Fraud isn’t just a broker problem or a carrier problem; it’s an industry problem. This is our step towards solving it together.”

Key takeaways:

• Highway for Carriers is a shift in how trusted carriers and brokers connect, collaborate, and protect each other.
• Carriers can now search and verify any broker by name, MC, or DOT number; confirm broker authority, activity, and credit standing; identify potential fraud risks, including double brokering and stolen assets; access key broker contact details, including rate confirmation emails and invoicing details; review a broker’s size, affiliations, and history; and streamline onboarding with verified brokers.
