BrokerDefender: a paper trail for carrier vetting
A carrier-selection diligence tool that checks FMCSA records and returns a documented CLEAR TO BOOK, REVIEW RECOMMENDED, or DO NOT BOOK result.
Field notes
The workflow begins with a USDOT number and ends with a three-level booking recommendation based on FMCSA-related factors such as authority, inspections, crashes, and registration currency. The site says every check produces a downloadable packet containing retrieved data, factor-level findings, broker notes, a timestamp, and a cryptographic hash. It also claims coverage of more than 4.4 million registered entities, including recently revoked authorities.
