Freight broker compliance

Compliance software built for the way brokerages actually run.

Most freight brokers are not running a compliance department — they are running a brokerage where compliance has to happen reliably between phone calls, loads, and follow-ups. CarrierShield is the practical layer that makes that work.

Why compliance breaks

The compliance gaps that quietly cost brokers money.

None of these are dramatic. They are small failures that accumulate, then surface during an audit or after a claim.

  • Out-of-date COIs in the file, because nobody re-checked the date column.
  • Renewal reminders sent inconsistently, depending on who's at their desk.
  • Certificates buried in inbox threads, impossible to find six months later.
  • No record of who followed up, so the same carrier gets contacted three times — or zero.
  • Status changes that happen silently, with no log of who approved what.

What we cover

The compliance jobs CarrierShield handles for brokers.

Focused on the recurring work — not a procurement workflow you will never use.

Insurance certificate tracking

Auto-status carriers by current COI expiry — active, at risk, expired, or pending review — with filters and bulk actions.

Renewal reminder automation

Scheduled 45/30/14/7-day reminder emails with editable templates and your brokerage's sender identity.

Carrier upload portal

Each reminder includes a secure, tokenized upload link. Carriers send fresh COIs without logging in.

Broker review queue

Extracted dates land as suggestions. A broker confirms before status changes — nothing happens silently.

Team roles & workspace

Owner, admin, editor, viewer. Audit history, reminders, and billing scoped to your organization.

Exportable audit trail

Every action with timestamp, actor, prior value, and new value — exportable as CSV when an auditor asks.

Scope

What CarrierShield does not do.

Choosing the right tool starts with knowing what it isn't. We keep this list public on purpose.

FMCSA authority verification

We do not check operating authority, safety ratings, or out-of-service orders. Pair CarrierShield with a dedicated verification service.

Identity / fraud detection

We do not detect double-brokering, carrier impersonation, or stolen MC numbers. See freight fraud prevention for the scope conversation.

Full onboarding packets

W-9s, broker-carrier agreements, banking, and contracts are out of scope. See carrier onboarding for what we handle and what we don't.
