Questions

How much does it cost to subscribe to Check Freight Broker?

Nothing. Freight brokers, shippers, and motor carriers have unlimited access to all areas of Check Freight Broker.

What is a Platinum Broker?

A PLATINUM BROKER is a freight broker that uses Check Freight Broker to provide fuel advances and quick pay to its motor carriers and owner operators.

Every PLATINUM BROKER displays the Platinum Broker seal on its CFB Credit Report indicating that their loads are covered by the exclusive CFB Platinum Broker Payment Guarantee

For more information about the CFB Platinum Broker Payment Guarantee, click on the Platinum Broker Guarantee Button on our home page.

Motor carriers may filter their load searches to display Platinum Broker loads. We guarantee payment on all Platinum Broker loads we fund. Look for the Platinum Broker seal and the Platinum Broker Payment Guarantee on Check Freight Broker credit reports.

Why do motor carriers pay so much to access other freight matching sites?

We don't have a good answer for that question. Check freight broker posts millions of loads and provides more unique, valuable, and 100% FREE features than any other load board or freight matching site.

In addition to posting millions of loads, CFB also provides motor carriers free and unlimited access to tens of thousands of freight broker credit reports.

Motor carriers that post the location of their available trucks receive real-time automated alerts whenever Check Freight Broker posts loads matching the location of posted trucks. All load boards offering this valuable feature charge upwards of $400 and some, over $2,000 per year for site access.

How can Check Freight Broker afford to give away valuable credit information for free?

Check Freight Broker is a subsidiary of Interstate Capital Corporation, North America's leading factoring company for freight brokers and motor carriers. Interstate Capital shares its database with ICC--data on hundreds of thousands of first-hand collection experiences with tens of thousands of freight brokers. The Interstate Capital database powers Check Freight Broker and allows us to give away free information to the trucking public.

What is a Load Match Notification?

Load Match Notifications are real-time electronic alerts sent by the site to motor carriers whenever a posted load matches the location of a posted truck. Load Match Notifications are available only to Funding Members of the site. To learn more about free Funding Memberships, please click on the button "Become a Funding Member" on our home page.

Why pay for freight broker credit reports?

That's a good question. We don't know why motor carriers would pay for credit reports when they can obtain FREE superior credit reports through Check Freight Broker. CFB credit reports display ONLY OUR OWN FIRST-HAND PAYMENT EXPERIENCE WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FREIGHT BROKERS.

Most other freight broker credit reporting services and load boards rely on motor carriers to provide payment references for freight brokers. There is an inherent conflict in this data collection methodology that encourages motor carriers to be untruthful in their reporting.

We never rely on third-party references supplied by freight brokers or motor carriers because we cannot guarantee their accuracy of third-party data. That's why we report only our own experience in collecting from tens of thousands of freight brokers.

Why are Check Freight Broker's credit reports better than its competitors?

Check Freight Broker obtains its payment information not from third parties, but from OUR OWN FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE collecting from thousands of freight brokers over the past 15+ years. Our competitors sometimes rely on others to share payment information with them, often knowingly accepting and redistributing inaccurate, selected, and incomplete payment information.

What information is included in Check Freight Broker's credit reports?

All Check Freight Broker Credit Reports contain:

1. Public information provided by the FMCSA
2. Average Days to Pay
3. Number of first-hand payments posted
4. Member Ratings
5. Member-to-member exchange

What is the PLATINUM BROKER PAYMENT GUARANTEE?

Subject to certain terms and conditions, Check Freight Broker guarantees payment to carriers on Platinum Brokers' loads. Restrictions apply. See the full Platinum Broker Payment Guarantee by clicking on the button on our home page.

What makes the Check Freight Broker LOAD BOARD unique?

Freight brokers posting their loads on the Check Freight Broker LOAD BOARD have the advantage that we will offer carriers the ability to obtain (either from us or from the freight broker) fuel advances UP TO 50% and 100% payment upon delivery without the original bill of lading. No other load board can make that promise.

By posting your loads on the Check Freight Broker LOAD BOARD, you can compete with the largest brokers and 3PLs by exposing your freight to carriers seeking fuel advances and quick pay EVEN IF YOU DO NOT OFFER THESE SERVICES.

What makes the Check Freight Broker Load Board different from all the other load boards?

At CFB, we post millions of loads and identify those which are eligible for fuel advances and quick pay direct from our site.
