01 · How we compare

A calm, factual look at where VettaVerify fits.

The carrier-vetting market spans legacy RMIS-style portals, demo-gated enterprise platforms, and DIY FMCSA lookups. Here is what each category does well, where it leaves gaps, and what VettaVerify does differently — self-serve and transparent, with identity-verified rate-con delivery built in.

02 · What we do differently

The differences that matter on a load.

We are not trying to replace your TMS or be your packet system. We are the verification layer that sits in front of every load you book.

Self-serve, transparent pricing

Solo $199/mo, Pro $499/mo, Enterprise custom. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, no annual contract. Start free without a sales call.

Identity-verified rate-con delivery

Built in, not bolted on. Rate cons go out behind an OTP to the carrier’s FMCSA email of record, with a full audit trail — the anti-double-broker wedge.

Works alongside your TMS

VettaVerify sits in front of the loads you book. Turvo live, more coming — it complements your TMS rather than replacing it.

300+ ELD providers via our aggregator

Connect carrier ELD data for live load visibility through our aggregator. Carrier credentials are never stored.

Transparent VettaScore

A 0–100 safety score with published methodology, so the number, the tier, and the breakdown are all explainable.

2.2M+ FMCSA carriers, searchable

Look up authority, insurance, and safety history across the FMCSA database before the rate con goes out.

03 · By category

Where each category is strong, and where it leaves gaps.

We describe the categories rather than name individual products. Each one earns its place for the teams it fits — the question is what you want sitting in front of the load.

01 · Category

Legacy RMIS-style carrier portals

Onboarding-and-packet platforms wired into enterprise TMS workflows. Strong distribution, heavy footprint.

Where it is strong

  • Deep TMS integrations already configured at larger brokerages.
  • Large libraries of carrier packets and standing agreements.
  • Procurement teams already know the workflow.

Where it leaves gaps

  • Annual contracts and enterprise pricing with a sales cycle to match.
  • The dispatcher behind the packet is typically not identity-verified.
  • Scoring and monitoring often arrive as add-on modules.

02 · Category

Demo-gated enterprise vetting platforms

Modern identity-and-fraud products aimed at the mid-market and up. Polished, but gated behind onboarding.

Where it is strong

  • A real focus on carrier identity and fraud signals.
  • Growing broker networks with shared trust data.
  • Strong brand and a refined product experience.

Where it leaves gaps

  • Pricing positioned for larger teams; you book a demo before you see it.
  • Scoring methodology is often not published in full.
  • A heavier onboarding commitment than a quick self-serve start.

03 · Category

DIY FMCSA lookups & monitoring lists

Affordable, long-running watchdog and lookup services. Useful data, manual workflow.

Where it is strong

  • Community watchdog reports and long-running history.
  • Low monthly cost for authority and insurance basics.
  • Familiar to teams that already rely on them.

Where it leaves gaps

  • Dated interfaces with little modern API or TMS connectivity.
  • No identity check on the person you are actually emailing.
  • No single quantified score to act on at a glance.

04 · Bright lines

Three things we put in writing.

Commitments we hold regardless of plan or volume.

01

Carriers never pay.

No carrier-side fees, no pay-to-appear, no verified tier you can buy.

02

Brokers don’t upload ID.

Your active MC and FMCSA authority are your credentials. No selfies, no driver license scans.

03

Your data stays yours.

Private notes, trust scores, and relationships are never sold, aggregated, or exposed.

05 · The honest test

The best way to compare is to run one carrier.

Pick a carrier you already trust and pull their VettaScore. See if the number, the tier, and the breakdown match the reputation you carry in your head. Start free — no demo gate, no contract.
