Know who's on the other end of the rate con.

Verify any broker or carrier in seconds. Cross-checks FMCSA (including the officer names on file), the company website, social presence, and Google Business listing — catching double-brokers, ghost MCs, and spoofed identities before you hook the trailer or hand off the load.

— 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, 24-month inspections, and the officer names on the carrier’s FMCSA filing.
  • 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 one lookup, plus the officer names and phone FMCSA has on file.
  • 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 open the file, rebuild every saved version, and show the exact text that changed, before and after.
  • Flags white-out boxes, text typed on top, hidden text, and online editors like iLovePDF. Filled-in form fields and signatures aren’t flagged.
  • Free to check. No credit card. 3 PDF scans and 3 broker lookups every month, on us.

A real rate con. A real scam. Caught before the load moved.

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
Type an MC, DOT, or company name and pick the right company as you type. Carrier and broker authority shown separately, plus authority age, insurance on file, safety rating, and crash history — pulled live from the federal registry.
Live
from FMCSA
Officer names on file
See the company officers on the FMCSA filing (MCS-150), plus the phone and email on it and when it was last updated. Ask for the owner by name, on the number FMCSA has — not the one on the rate con.
MCS-150
FMCSA company census
Website & domain check
We find the counterparty's real website and check it, and their email domain, against the FMCSA record. Plus WHOIS age, MX and SPF records, and Google Safe Browsing. A domain registered last week is an immediate red flag.
WHOIS
live domain lookup
Inspections, crashes & history
Every roadside inspection and crash from the last 24 months: when, where, each violation, and whether a driver or truck was put out of service. Plus authority, insurance, name, address, and phone changes over time.
24 mo
every inspection & crash
Google Business address
Cross-checks the FMCSA-registered address against Google Places. Flags UPS Store mailboxes, residential homes, and addresses shared by unrelated businesses.
Places
real-world match
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.

Web reputation scan
Searches FreightWaves, Land Line, TruckersReport, BBB, Reddit, and government enforcement sites for fraud, scam, or lawsuit mentions tied to the carrier or broker.

— How it works

Rate con to verdict before you sign.

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. Start typing and pick the right company from the suggestions, 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, the officer names on the FMCSA filing, 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.

Haulock opens the file itself, not just its hidden metadata. We rebuild every saved version inside the PDF, compare them page by page, and look for white-out boxes, text typed on top, hidden text, and changes made after signing. Then we tell you in plain English:

  • “The rate on page 1 was changed in a later save: $1,400.00 → $1,100.00.”
  • “A white box was drawn over the old rate and new text typed on top — saved with iLovePDF.”
  • “All metadata stripped — someone hid what tool they used.”
  • “Clean. Form fields were filled in and it was signed — that's normal. Nothing else changed.”

Changed spots are highlighted on a preview of your PDF. No AI and no broker lookup needed — the file itself is checked, and it's never stored on our servers.

For brokers: check the COI before you book.

A certificate of insurance is easy to fake and easy to outlive — a policy can be cancelled the day after the certificate is printed. Upload the ACORD 25 certificate and Haulock reads the insurers, policies, and coverage on it, then compares them with the filings the carrier's insurer made with FMCSA:

  • Is the auto liability policy on file with FMCSA, from the same insurer?
  • Is a cancellation pending on that filing?
  • Are the dates current, and is the limit at least the FMCSA minimum?
  • Was the PDF edited after it was created?

You get match, verify, or mismatch, with the source of every finding. On verify or mismatch, call the insurer — on a number you look up yourself — before you book.

— Inspections, crashes & alerts

Every roadside inspection. Every crash.

Totals only tell you so much. Every Haulock carrier report lists each roadside inspection and crash from the last 24 months, straight from FMCSA's daily files: when, where, what the officer found, and whether a truck or driver was put out of service.

  • See whether out-of-service results are getting better or worse, month by month.
  • Open any inspection to see each violation: brakes, lights, tires, hours of service, speeding.
  • Crashes by date and place, with injuries, fatalities and tow-aways.
Email alerts for your own company
Know as soon as FMCSA posts a new inspection or crash on your DOT.

We check FMCSA's files every day. When a new roadside inspection or crash shows up on your DOT, you get an email with the date, place, result and each violation, so you can fix it, tell your insurer, or challenge it through FMCSA's DataQs before it weighs on your safety scores.

Is this load worth it?

Drop the rate con, add where the truck is, and see the real numbers before you book: empty miles, loaded miles, drive time, fuel at this week's diesel price, and what's left of the rate.

  • Upload the rate con: pickup, delivery and rate fill in, and the broker gets checked at the same time.
  • Truck route on the map, with empty miles from the truck's location to the pickup.
  • Fuel at this week's EIA diesel average for the region, or your own fuel card price.
  • Company or owner-operator: driver pay as a flat amount, per mile or a % of the rate, and who buys the fuel.
  • Drive time with the required 10-hour breaks, and your break-even rate per mile.

US loads only. Type-ahead for every US city and ZIP code.

— For your own company

Know who's checking you. Know the second your FMCSA record changes.

Brokers and shippers check carriers before every load, and fraudsters hijack carrier identities by quietly changing FMCSA records. Haulock watches your side too.

See how often you're checked

Every time a broker, carrier or shipper checks your MC on Haulock, it counts. See checks per week and how many different accounts looked you up, with a notice in the app when you're checked.

23checks in the last 30 days · by 9 accounts
Example · last 12 weeks

Counts only: we never reveal who searched. Unlocks once you verify the company is yours: a login email on the same domain as your FMCSA filing email, or a code we send to that address. Searches on FMCSA's own site aren't visible to anyone.

Live FMCSA monitoring of your company

We check your FMCSA record every day: insurance, authority, address, phone, email of record and company officers, plus every new roadside inspection and crash filed on your DOT. If anything changes, you get an email right away.

Example alert · Your FMCSA record changed

The fastest way to catch a hijacked identity, a lapsed policy or an out-of-service inspection before a customer or your insurer does.
