BROKERVERIFY.US

The official home of broker transparency — built in the USA, for American freight.

Carrier-verified Load-tied Evidence-weighted

Know how a broker actually pays — before you book the load.

Not rumors. Receipts. Every report is one real load: agreed rate vs. what actually hit the bank, days-to-pay, short-pays, post-delivery deductions, withheld accessorials. Filed by a verified carrier, weighted by proof — so the grade is earned, not whispered.

Members-only · Carriers & brokers verify by MC · Filing is carriers-only

Seeing what a load paid has been a carrier’s right since 1980 (49 CFR 371.3). Six years after carriers asked FMCSA to enforce it, the rule is still pending — don’t wait for Washington.

The whole point

Carriers finally have a voice — and brokers answer for how they pay.

For years the call-outs ran one way: a broker could tag a carrier, and that was that. Now it runs both ways — a broker’s grade comes from verified carriers, tied to real loads. And the one thing the old “do-not-load” boards never allowed: the broker always gets to reply.

Why carriers need this

The messages carriers call blackmail.

Federal rules already give carriers the right to review a broker’s records on a brokered load — and FMCSA’s own rulemaking notes broker-carrier contracts “frequently contain waivers” of that right. Below is what carriers say happens when they ask anyway. For years the leverage ran one way. A broker could threaten your rating, your future loads, or your pay to make you eat a deduction you never agreed to — and you had no way to put it on the record. Broker Verify ends the one-sidedness: now the broker’s conduct is documented too, with evidence and a neutral, two-sided process. The threat stops working.

So you can accept the rate deduction for $400. Or not, and I can write you up on the do-not-load boards — late delivery, lack of communication, and calling me a f**ker on the phone.
Deduction or bad report
We're settling this load at $450 instead of $700. That's the number. You can eat the difference quietly, or I write you up on the rating boards and every broker pulling your record sees it. Up to you.
Short-pay or rating flag
Customer came back and denied the detention, so I can't pay the $300. I know your driver sat there but that's between you and them now. You're welcome to dispute it if you want — good luck getting a different answer.
Withheld detention
Load's delivered, but I'm sending over a revised rate con at $250 less. Sign it and you get paid this week, or I hold it and write you up for the service issues on my end. Your call.
Revised rate con, post-delivery
Look, just eat the $300 on this one and let it go. I've got 4 reloads a week coming out of that area and I'd hate to give them all to somebody else because you wanted to fight over a short pay.
Future-loads leverage
You can dispute the $500 chargeback if you want, but I run dispatch for a whole group of brokers and every one of them shares carriers. Push this and you don't get loaded by any of us again.

Inside the ledger

The intel that lives in LinkedIn posts and group chats — now searchable by MC, and built to hold up.

Pull any broker’s grade in seconds.

Any broker, by name or docket number — no scrolling threads, no asking around. The grade is computed from load-tied reports from verified carriers and factor-verified pay schedules, and it follows the broker’s MC, not the rumor mill. Know how a broker pays before the wheels turn — not 45 days after.

Catch the games a one-line “they’re slow” never captures.

The chargeback that lands after the BOL — the one a surety bond rarely covers: bond claims reliably pay on total non-payment; short-pays rarely get made whole. The detention billed to the shipper but withheld from the truck. The “corrected” rate con that shows up after the load moved. The balance that never came at all. Each one is reported with figures, against a real load.

Both sides on the record.

Brokers claim their profile, reply in public, and dispute with documents — signed rate con, proof of payment, POD. If the decisive evidence can’t be verified either way, the report is flagged and excluded from the grade. Nothing quietly vanishes, and nothing stands on hearsay.

Shippers & customers — Margin Check

What’s MY broker making on MY freight?

The one question no rate benchmark answers. Enter what you paid for a load; we line it up against the carrier payouts reported on that broker and show the implied spread — brokerage typically runs 15–20%. Both sides of the freight dollar, on one screen.

The industry said it out loud

Carriers have kept this ledger informally for years. Washington heard it too.

“The deck is stacked against carriers… It’s time to level the playing field.”
— OOIDA, on the federal broker-transparency rulemaking

The parties to a brokered freight transaction have a right to review the broker’s record … Contracts between brokers and motor carriers frequently contain waivers of this right.

Reported finding

Over 400 brokers draw down their bonds each year; nearly one in five of those has claims topping $75,000 — so carriers wait months to recover pennies on the dollar.
