What it is
LoadGuard is carrier-vetting and fraud-prevention software for freight brokers and 3PLs, available through web and API platforms. It combines more than 50 signals from FMCSA, SAFER, insurance sources, and broker reports to produce carrier risk scores. Listed checks include virtual-address detection, carrier analysis using AI, DNU lists, and ongoing monitoring. Automated onboarding validates MC or DOT details, verifies insurance, and gathers W-9 forms and signatures. LoadGuard can connect to carrier ELD providers for GPS tracking, ETAs, and geofence alerts. Its broker TMS covers load creation, carrier assignment, rate confirmations, digital signatures, and BOL creation. API endpoints cover carrier, safety, insurance, risk analysis, trust scores, change monitoring, matching, inspections, and vehicle valuation. The $99/month LoadGuard plan includes unlimited searches but excludes onboarding, ELD connection and tracking, load management, rate confirmations, and W-9 collection. LoadGuard Pro costs $149/month, with additional seats at $39/month each. API plans start at $350/month.
