Carrier vetting software for broker desks.

Carrier vetting software should answer one desk question: is this the right legal person, with Active authority and required filings, before I cover? Verifreta is built for that job at $49/mo — not as a full TMS or enterprise identity network.

what “vetting software” should mean at a broker desk

Identity: legal name, DOT, MC, phone, and address match the rate confirmation and the census record.

Authority and insurance: Active property authority and required BMC filings on L&I for this lane and commodity.

After approval: watch for authority, insurance, and contact changes so the next dispatch is not a stale PDF.

what Verifreta includes

Free DOT number lookup, MC number lookup, and carrier name search.

Desk plan: unlimited lookups, change monitoring, shared-identity cross-ref, COI parsing, team seats, and cited broker guides.

Plain positioning: SAFER and L&I remain the government sources. Verifreta organizes the first look and the watchlist.

  • Price: $49/mo after a 7-day free trial.
  • Audience: independent brokers and small desks that still vet by hand.
  • Not for: replacing a shipper-mandated enterprise identity network.

what it is not

Not a TMS. Not a load board. Not ELD tracking. Not a claim that emailed COIs replace FMCSA filings.

If you need network-wide identity enforcement at tender for hundreds of agents, evaluate enterprise carrier-identity platforms. If you need a shared desk first look at ${deskPrice}, start a trial.

trial path that matches the desk

Day 1: run real inbox DOTs and MCs on the free tools. Match legal names.

Day 2–3: start the Desk trial. Share history with one teammate. Upload one COI.

Day 4–7: add three approved carriers to monitoring. Re-open L&I when an alert fires.

desk checklist

  • Map your current vetting steps: lookup → L&I → phone → rate con → file.
  • Trial Verifreta on real inbox DOTs and MCs for one week.
  • Turn on monitoring for carriers you actually re-use.
  • Keep dated L&I screens in the load file regardless of software.

fail closed

  • Replacing L&I with any vendor screen.
  • Buying software to skip the census telephone callback.
  • Covering on a COI alone.
