Doft, the freight-matching platform connecting shippers with carriers, has integrated with CarrierCheckup, a leading motor carrier monitoring technology for carrier information and vetting. The integration is designed to help users minimize the risks of hiring a motor carrier.
CarrierCheckup's data — including safety ratings, insurance, and authority information — is now pulled into Doft and displayed for each carrier throughout the process of booking a load. During booking, Doft automatically checks and verifies a carrier's certificate of insurance to ensure coverage meets the requirements the user has set. At the final stage, while booking a carrier to a load, Doft updates the data in real time to confirm the carrier is still acceptable. In effect, CarrierCheckup serves as a backend carrier-data provider and vetting interface inside Doft.
"Integration with CarrierCheckup has given our shippers outstanding transparency into a carrier's hiring risk level," said Dmitri Fedorchenko, CEO and Founder of Doft. "It has also increased the efficiency of our qualification and vetting process for onboarding new motor carriers and monitoring existing ones."
Why Carrier Vetting Matters
For shippers, booking the wrong carrier can mean uninsured freight, compliance headaches, or worse. Built-in vetting brings the safety rating, insurance status, and operating authority of every carrier into the same screen where the load is booked — so the decision is informed before a truck ever rolls. For carriers, clean records and up-to-date insurance translate directly into more booking opportunities on the platform.
Industry Snapshot: Security Pays Off
The value of strong carrier and shipper practices shows up in the numbers. Freight carrier Schneider reported a 99.9999% theft-free record on its loads in a single year, according to cargo-theft prevention firm CargoNet. Schneider credited a layered security approach in which carrier and shipper work together from beginning to end across truckload and intermodal moves.
"While we employ various technologies and processes to keep freight safe, our best assets are our careful and observant drivers behind the wheel of every load," said Dave Geyer, a senior Schneider executive. The company keeps drivers' theft-prevention skills sharp through onboarding and quarterly training, and keeps them updated on the locations and types of thefts occurring industrywide.
Together, real-time carrier vetting and disciplined security practices point to the same goal that drives platforms like Doft: making every load match safer, more transparent, and more reliable for shippers and carriers alike.
