Who This Section Is For

Freight brokers, shippers, and pickup teams confirming that the carrier, dispatcher, driver, and equipment line up.

What to Check First

  • Check the carrier record.
  • Confirm the dispatcher through a known carrier channel.
  • Compare driver, truck, and trailer before release.

Common Documents Involved

  • Carrier packet
  • W-9

Boundary Note

A real carrier record can be impersonated. Verification has to connect the record to the current person and load.
