Questions

How much does it cost to subscribe to Check Freight Broker?

Nothing. Freight brokers, shippers, and motor carriers have unlimited access to all areas of Check Freight Broker, subject to our Terms of Service.

How can Check Freight Broker afford to give away valuable credit information for free?

Check Freight Broker is a subsidiary of Interstate Capital Corporation, North America's leading factoring company for freight brokers and motor carriers. Interstate Capital shares its database with ICC--data on hundreds of thousands of first-hand collection experiences with tens of thousands of freight brokers. The Interstate Capital database powers Check Freight Broker and allows us to give away free information to the trucking public.

Why is Check Freight Broker's credit reports better than its competitors?

Check Freight Broker obtains its payment information not from third parties, but from OUR OWN FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE collecting from thousands of freight brokers over the past 15+ years. Our competitors sometimes rely on others to share payment information with them, often knowingly accepting and redistributing inaccurate, selected, and incomplete payment information.

What are some differences between Check Freight Broker and its competitors?

Check Freight Broker provides for FREE what other load boards and credit reporting services charge hundreds of dollars for. We supply valuable credit information on freight brokers and find and fund tens of thousands of quick paying loads for motor carriers without charging you a cent.

All major load boards and freight broker credit services charge annual subscriptions or a per-transaction fee. At Check Freight Broker, you have access to unlimited number of FREE freight broker credit reports and tens of thousands of quick-paying loads. No long-term factoring contract is required.

What is a Platinum Broker?

A PLATINUM BROKER is a freight broker that uses our funds to provide fuel advances and quick pay to its motor carriers and owner operators.

We have NO CREDIT LIMIT for Platinum Brokers, meaning that we will provide a fuel advance for and fund every load the Platinum Broker posts, subject only to the credit strength of the SHIPPER.

Motor carriers may filter their load searches to display Platinum Broker loads. We guaranty payment on all Platinum Broker loads we fund. Look for the Platinum Broker seal and the Platinum Broker Payment Guaranty on Check Freight Broker credit reports.

Why pay for credit reports?

That's a good question. We don't know why motor carriers would pay for credit reports when they can obtain superior credit reports through Check Freight Broker for free.

Why are our reports superior? Simple. Our credit reports display ONLY OUR OWN FIRST-HAND PAYMENT EXPERIENCE WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FREIGHT BROKERS.

Other freight broker credit reporting services and load boards rely on motor carriers to provide payment references for freight brokers. There is an inherent conflict in this data collection methodology that encourages motor carriers to be untruthful in their reporting.

We never rely on or report references supplied by freight brokers or any other credit references, because we cannot guarantee their accuracy. That's why we report only our own experience in collecting from tens of thousands of freight brokers.

What information is included in Check Freight Broker's credit reports?

All Check Freight Broker Credit Reports contain:

1. Public information provided by the FMCSA
2. Average Days to Pay
3. Number of first-hand payments posted.
4. Member Ratings
5. Member-to-member exchange

Can I search for freight and quick-paying loads through Check Freight Broker?

Check Freight Broker allows motor carriers to filter searches for loads not only by the traditional criteria, but also by such criteria as 1) Eligible for fuel advance; 2) Eligible for Quick-Pay; 3) TIA Performance Certification Level; and 4) Platinum Brokers

Why makes the Check Freight Broker LOAD BOARD unique?

Freight brokers posting their loads on the Check Freight Broker LOAD BOARD have the advantage that we will offer carriers the ability to obtain (either from us or from the freight broker) fuel advances UP TO 50% and 100% payment upon delivery without the original bill of lading. No other load board can make that promise.

By posting your loads on the Check Freight Broker LOAD BOARD, you can compete with the largest brokers and 3PLs by exposing your freight to carriers seeking fuel advances and quick pay EVEN IF YOU DO NOT OFFER THESE SERVICES.

What makes the Check Freight Broker Load Board different from all the other load boards?

Check Freight Broker is the only major load board that is 100% free for carriers and freight brokers. We not only display tens of thousands of available loads for free, but we also provide fuel advances to carriers and then pay motor carriers 100% upon delivery with no reserve or hold-back and without a long-term factoring agreement.

Why would a motor carrier PAY to join a load board?

This is a good question. We don't have a good answer for that question. We display tens of thousands of quick paying loads for free. We'll find freight for you, provide fuel advances on those loads, and then pay you 100% upon delivery without a factoring reserve or long-term factoring agreement.
