VERIFIED CARRIERS
Every Carrier Verified.

Unlike load boards where anyone can post, every carrier on TRU LOAD is verified against FMCSA records with active authority, valid insurance, and safety compliance checked in real time.
- FMCSA authority verification (DOT & MC)
- Real-time insurance certificate validation
- CSA safety score monitoring
- On-platform performance ratings from shippers
- Equipment and capacity verification
- Background checks on carrier principals

|---|---|---|---|
| Broker (20% margin) | $12,000/mo | $30,000/mo | $60,000/mo |
| TRU LOAD (flat fee) | $299/mo | $299 - $499/mo | $499 - $799/mo |
| Monthly Savings | $11,701 | $29,501 | $59,201 |
| Annual Savings | $140,412 | $354,012 | $710,412 |
Based on $3,000 average load value with 20% broker margin. Actual savings depend on your specific volume and broker rates.
