HOW IT WORKS

From application to delivered.

The Cargo Exchange connects FMCSA-verified brokers with vetted carriers and dispatchers on one streamlined board — less fraud, less phone tag, more freight moved.

STEP 01

Create your account.

Takes a few minutes. Tell us who you are — we collect what's needed to verify your company before you get anywhere near the board.

STEP 02

Complete verification.

Trust starts before your first load. We review FMCSA records, verify identity and authority, confirm insurance, and screen for fraud — with a real human making the final call.
