FreightProof vs the Competition
The Post-Montgomery Carrier Vetting Landscape
After Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II (May 14, 2026), every freight technology company is repositioning for compliance. Here's what each offers — and the critical capability most of them lack.

What Each Solution Does Best
Highway — Carrier Identity & Fraud Prevention
Highway excels at verifying that the carrier is who they claim to be. Government-issued ID validation, digital facial matching, MC takeover detection, double-brokering prevention. NIST 800-63A aligned. Best-in-class for the identity layer.The gap: Identity verification happens at onboarding. It doesn't generate per-dispatch compliance evidence. A carrier can be Highway-verified and still have a deteriorated safety record at dispatch time.
CarrierAssure — AI Risk Scoring
CarrierAssure uses predictive analytics to generate A-F risk grades from FMCSA data, inspections, and user reports. Good evaluation tool at $149/month. Integration with project44 and MyCarrierPortal.The gap: The score is proprietary. There's no cryptographic proof, no independent verification, no per-dispatch record. A court can't verify a CarrierAssure grade without CarrierAssure.
RMIS — Enterprise Compliance Workflows
RMIS provides carrier onboarding, insurance certificate management, and compliance workflows for large brokerages. Deep TMS integrations. The enterprise standard for structured onboarding.The gap: Workflow and document management, not evidence generation. No per-dispatch proof. Designed for onboarding processes, not dispatch-time compliance.
Carrier411 — Monitoring & Alerts
Long-established monitoring platform. Proprietary records, historical data, FreightGuard-style carrier reports. Best for ongoing surveillance of carrier safety changes between loads.The gap: Database lookups and monitoring alerts, not signed evidence. No cryptographic proof. No per-dispatch vetting record.
GenLogs — Physical Truck Verification ($81M funded)
GenLogs uses a nationwide network of 1,000+ roadside cameras capturing 20 million truck images per day. Founded by ex-CIA counterterrorism officer Ryan Joyce, the platform uniquely fingerprints every truck in America — detecting chameleon carriers, stolen identities, and double-brokering rings by verifying that trucks claiming to exist digitally actually exist physically. $60M Series B (Feb 2026) from Battery Ventures, IVP, 9Yards. Used by 5 of top 10 US brokerages. Partners with Highway for combined digital + physical verification.The gap: Physical verification proves the truck exists. It does not create per-dispatch compliance evidence of what safety data the broker reviewed. GenLogs is identity Layer 1. FreightProof is evidence Layer 2. They are complementary.
Augment — Agentic AI for Freight Operations
Augment builds AI-driven automation for freight brokerage operations. CCO Justin Hall (ex-CRO at YRC, $5B carrier; founded LPS, acquired by Global Tranz) positions the platform for moving AI from prototype to production in logistics workflows. Post-Montgomery, CEO Harish Abbott has been publicly urging brokers to "tighten carrier selection, standardize the workflow, and make sure the audit trail holds up years from now."The gap: Workflow automation, not evidence generation. No cryptographic proof, no independent verification, no per-dispatch signed record.
The Capability Nobody Else Has
Per-dispatch, cryptographically signed, independently verifiable proof of carrier vetting.
Every competitor gives you information about a carrier. FreightProof gives you evidence of what you knew about a carrier at a specific moment — evidence that anyone can verify without trusting the platform.
This matters because the Montgomery standard isn't "did you have a vetting process?" It's "what did you know about this carrier when you dispatched this load?"
A proprietary score answers the first question. A SHA-256 signed vetting record answers the second.

Not a Replacement — A Layer
FreightProof is not a TMS, a load board, or an onboarding platform. It's the evidence layer that sits beneath your existing tools.
One API call. One signed record. One answer to the question the courtroom will ask.
