Cargolane carries broker contingent cargo coverage in addition to enforced minimums on every motor carrier we tender to: $1,000,000 in auto liability and $100,000 in cargo per load. Higher cargo limits can be arranged for high-value freight on request before tender. Each carrier's certificate of insurance is verified for active coverage before the load is awarded — not just at onboarding.

It's lightweight. Share your top lanes, commodities, equipment, and weekly volume. We send rates and a sample carrier profile so you know who's likely to haul it. Standard broker docs (W-9, broker authority, certificate of insurance) are provided to your procurement / AP team on request. First tender can usually move within 24–48 hours of approval.

Every motor carrier we tender to is verified for active operating authority, current liability and cargo insurance, clean CSA BASIC safety scores, and cargo-specific compliance. We check for unauthorized re-handling and double-broker risk, monitor authority and insurance continuously, and re-verify before each award — so a carrier that was clean last month is still clean today.

Full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), partial loads, refrigerated (reefer), flatbed, step deck, and other specialized equipment. Palletized retail freight, temperature-sensitive food and beverage, raw materials, oversized machinery — we match the right equipment and carrier for the commodity.

The moment the truck loads, you get a live GPS tracking link — automatically, without asking. You see live location, OTP and OTD tracking, ETA updates, dwell alerts, and exception notifications throughout transit. No phone calls and no 'where's my truck?' emails required.

Awarded tenders are committed. We run 24/7 exception coverage, and if a carrier breaks down, cancels, or no-shows, we repower the load with a vetted backup and keep your traffic team in the loop in real time. Your tender doesn't get bounced back to your desk.

Our rates are competitive on both spot and lane-priced freight. What's included on top of the rate: pre-shipment risk audits, vetted and re-verified carriers, broker contingent cargo coverage, GPS-tracked loads, claim-ready documentation, and quarterly lane benchmarks. Most shippers find that fewer chargebacks, fewer claims, and tighter OTD pay back the difference quickly.

Every 90 days, your traffic and procurement teams get a one-page report for your specific lanes: how your contracted and spot rates compare to national benchmarks, capacity outlook for the next quarter (for example, tight reefer capacity in produce season), and sourcing recommendations. It helps you plan ahead instead of reacting to spot-market swings.

We respond to tender requests within 1 hour during business hours. For urgent shipments we can often have a vetted carrier matched and a rate confirmed within minutes. Send origin, destination, equipment, weight, and pickup window — we'll come back with options.

Yes. Beyond finding a working reefer unit, we verify reefer download reports, confirm seal integrity at origin, document chain of custody at every stop, and monitor temperature throughout transit. If you had a temperature excursion or rejection on a previous load, we reverse-engineer the failure into our vetting so it doesn't repeat on the same lane.

We cover all 48 contiguous US states. Our carrier capacity covers every major corridor and we actively build coverage on hard-to-serve regional headhaul and backhaul lanes that other brokers ignore.

Most brokers find a truck and hope nothing goes wrong. We audit tenders for risk before pickup, enforce carrier insurance minimums on every load, give your team GPS visibility without asking, prevent claims with Carmack-aware documentation, and deliver quarterly lane intelligence to procurement. We're not just covering tenders — we're protecting your supply chain.
