— Who it's for

One platform. Three sides of the load.

Brokers, carriers, and drivers all lose money to the same scams. We catch them on whichever side you’re standing.

For
Brokers
Verify carriers before you tender.
  • Live FMCSA authority, insurance, surety bond, safety rating, BASIC scores, and 24-month inspections.
  • Lookalike-domain detection on every carrier email so you spot the impersonator using a real MC.
  • Chameleon-network detection on shared phones and addresses, plus FMCSA enforcement cross-reference.
For
Carriers
Verify brokers before you hook the trailer.
  • MC, DOT, surety bond, address, and website cross-checked in 2.1 seconds.
  • Drop the rate confirmation PDF: AI extracts the broker, scores it for fraud language, flags spoofed identities.
  • Watchlist auto-rescans every 24 hours and emails you the moment something changes.
For
Drivers & dispatchers
Make sure no one shaved the rate.
  • Drop the rate con PDF. We read the hidden metadata and flag if it was edited after the broker sent it.
  • See exactly which tool touched the file and when. iLovePDF + a 3-day gap is a red flag every time.
  • Free to check. No credit card. 3 PDF scans and 3 broker lookups every month, on us.

— In the wild

A real rate con. A real scam. Caught in 2.1 seconds.

This is what Haulock catches that the naked eye misses. Legit letterhead, real-looking MC, but four red flags buried in the data.

— What we check

Built for carriers and brokers who've already been burned.

FMCSA verification
Paste an MC, DOT, or company name. Get authority status, age, insurance on file, safety rating, and crash history — pulled live from the federal registry.
2.1s
avg. lookup time
Website & domain check
We find the counterparty's real website, check WHOIS age, MX and SPF records, and Google Safe Browsing. A domain registered last week is an immediate red flag.
WHOIS
live domain lookup
Social media footprint
Scans Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for the company's presence. Real companies leave a trail. Ghost identities don't.

Google Business address
Cross-checks the FMCSA-registered address against Google Places. Flags UPS Store mailboxes, residential homes, and addresses shared by unrelated businesses.

Drop a PDF. We extract the broker, verify the email domain against the registered MC, and flag spoofed letterheads and impersonated identities automatically.

— How it works

Rate con to verdict in three seconds.

Haulock pulls from 14 data sources at once. No screens to navigate, no spreadsheets to cross-reference.

STEP 01
Enter MC, DOT, company name, or drop a rate con
Works with any identifier — for a broker or a carrier. Type it, paste it, or drop a PDF. Upload works from your phone in the cab or the desk.
STEP 02
We cross-check 14 data sources
FMCSA authority & insurance, company website, domain WHOIS, social profiles across 6 platforms, Google Business address, web reputation across 50+ trusted news outlets, and more.
STEP 03
Get a score and a clear verdict
Plain English. No jargon. "Book this load" or "Walk away." Share with your dispatcher or ops team in one click.
For drivers · 3 free scans / month

For drivers: check the rate con before you sign for it.

It happens more than you think. A dispatcher gets a $1,400 rate con from a broker, downloads it, opens it in a free online PDF editor, changes the number to $1,100, and forwards it to the driver. You haul the load thinking the rate is $1,100 and the dispatcher pockets the $300 spread.

Every PDF contains hidden metadata about who made it, when it was made, and every tool that touched it. Haulock reads that metadata and tells you the truth in plain English:

  • “This PDF was edited 3 days after it was created — by iLovePDF.”
  • “Author name ‘Mike’ doesn't match the broker's name on the letterhead.”
  • “All metadata stripped — someone hid what tool they used.”
  • “Clean. Created by Microsoft Word, unmodified since.”

— What carriers say

Carriers don't love most software. They love this.

Haulock caught a double-broker scam before I hooked the trailer. Saved me $8,400 on a single load.

I verify every broker now. Used to take 20 minutes of Googling. Now it's 3 seconds. Worth every penny.
