How Haulor verifies US carriers and brokers.
Every US member on Haulor passes the same verification standard as the rest of the network — a real, identified person or business behind every truck and every load.
What US carriers and brokers provide
USDOT number
A valid US Department of Transportation number identifying your operation, required for any carrier operating in interstate commerce.
MC number
Motor Carrier operating authority issued by the FMCSA — the number that shows you’re authorized to broker or haul freight for compensation.
FMCSA safety record
Your USDOT and MC numbers are checked against the FMCSA’s public safety and authority records as part of verification.
Proof of insurance
A current certificate of insurance meeting the platform’s minimum liability coverage before you can bid or post.
How Haulor reduces fraud and double brokering
No platform can promise fraud-free freight — anyone who says otherwise is selling something. What a platform can do is stack the safeguards so that fraud is harder to attempt, easier to detect, and quicker to shut down:
Identity-verified carriers
Carriers and drivers complete government-grade digital identity verification before they can bid. Not a checkbox — a verified person behind every truck.
Business-verified brokers
Brokers are verified as real, operating businesses before they can post a load, so carriers aren’t hauling for an email address.
Risk monitoring
A rules-based risk engine watches activity across the platform and surfaces red flags — unusual posting patterns, identity mismatches, suspicious behaviour — for review before they become losses.
Tracked and documented loads
Live GPS from pickup to delivery and digital BOLs/PODs on every load. When everything is visible and signed, disputes get resolved with records instead of recollections.
US verification, asked and answered
What is double brokering?
Double brokering is when a load is accepted by one party and secretly re-brokered to another carrier, usually without the shipper’s knowledge or consent. The carrier who actually hauls the load often goes unpaid, and the shipper loses control of who is carrying their freight. It is one of the most common forms of freight fraud in North America.
Does Haulor eliminate double brokering?
No — and you should be skeptical of any platform that claims to. What Haulor does is reduce the conditions double brokering depends on: anonymous actors, unverified businesses, and invisible loads. Identity verification, business verification, live tracking, and platform history make fraud harder to start and faster to catch.
How are carriers verified on Haulor?
Carriers complete a government-grade digital identity verification before they can bid on loads. Their on-platform history — completed loads, disputes, performance — stays attached to that verified identity.
How are brokers and shippers verified?
Brokers and shippers complete a business verification before they can post loads, confirming they are a real, operating company. Carriers can see verification status before they bid.
What happens if something goes wrong on a load?
Every load carries its own record: who posted it, who hauled it, GPS history, and signed digital documents. Disputes are reviewed by Haulor with that record in hand, and accounts involved in confirmed fraud are removed from the platform.
Does verification work the same way for US carriers?
The identity, business, and document checks are the same standard as the rest of the network. The specific numbers checked differ by country: US carriers and brokers provide their USDOT and MC number, checked against FMCSA records, plus proof of insurance.
