Highway is the leading provider of Carrier Identity solutions for the freight industry, helping freight brokers verify carrier identity, prevent fraud, and enforce compliance standards throughout the lifecycle of every load.
Perfect for
Highway is best suited for freight brokers and 3PLs that need to combat freight fraud, streamline carrier onboarding, and enforce consistent carrier compliance standards across their operations.
- Mid-size to enterprise freight brokerages looking to reduce exposure to cargo theft, double brokering, and identity fraud
- 3PLs and brokerage agency programs managing high volumes of carrier relationships and needing automated, continuous carrier vetting
- Brokerages handling high-value, high-touch, or expedited shipments where fraud risk is elevated
- Companies seeking to replace manual, multi-platform compliance checks with a single automated platform integrated into their existing TMS
- Growing brokerages that want to scale carrier onboarding without proportionally increasing compliance staff
Key strengths
Category creator and market leader in Carrier Identity, serving 70 of the top 100 U.S. freight brokers
Continuous verification throughout the load lifecycle rather than one-time onboarding, with real-time alerts on carrier changes
Performance Guarantee of up to $100,000 on qualifying shipments when the full product suite is used
Extensive TMS integration ecosystem with 30+ TMS partners including McLeod Software, Transfix, Trimble, and MercuryGate
Free carrier-facing tools including a mobile app for carrier identity verification and broker vetting, reducing friction in onboarding
Considerations
Focused exclusively on the freight brokerage and truckload segment; not designed for parcel, e-commerce fulfillment, or last-mile logistics
Requires ELD connectivity from carriers for full verification capabilities, which some smaller carriers may find intrusive despite data privacy safeguards
Primarily serves the U.S. freight market (with Canada and Mexico carrier verification), limiting applicability for global logistics operations
No publicly listed pricing; requires a demo and likely a sales-driven engagement process
About Highway
Highway is the category creator of Carrier Identity, a platform purpose-built for freight brokers to verify carriers, prevent fraud, and build trusted networks. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the company combines real-time data, automated compliance tools, and advanced fraud detection to streamline carrier vetting and empower brokers to operate with greater confidence and efficiency. Highway serves more than 1,050 brokers, including 70 of the top 100 in the U.S., and processes active certificates of insurance for over 175,000 carriers. The platform is behind approximately 80% of U.S. brokered loads, and reports a 99.9% fraud reduction rate when its processes are followed.
Highway replaces one-time carrier onboarding with continuous verification throughout every freight transaction. Its suite of products validates identity, authority, capability, insurance, and driver participation before, during, and after every load. Key products include Connect (carrier vetting, onboarding, and monitoring), Load Lock (load-level compliance enforcement), Load Lock+ (real-time shipment tracking), Know Your Driver (driver identity verification at pickup), Secure Rate Con Delivery (authenticated rate confirmation delivery), and the Trusted Freight Exchange (a verified-carrier load board). The platform also offers a Performance Guarantee of up to $100,000 on qualifying shipments when Connect, Load Lock, and Secure Rate Con Delivery are used together.
The company has secured a strategic growth equity investment led by FTV Capital with participation from Lead Edge Capital, and has acquired Newtrul to expand its Trusted Freight Exchange capabilities. Highway integrates with a vast ecosystem of TMS platforms and technology partners, and offers both desktop and mobile access, including a dedicated Highway for Carriers mobile app available on both Apple and Google Play stores. The platform also provides free tools for carriers, enabling them to verify brokers, report fraud, and streamline their own onboarding processes.
