How Freight Brokers Vet Carriers: What Every Carrier Should Know

2026-05-28  ·  6 min read  ·  IZY Logistics

Every load IZY Logistics dispatches goes on a carrier that has passed a multi-step vetting process. Understanding this process helps carriers prepare their documentation and understand why certain requirements exist.

Why Carrier Vetting Matters

Freight brokers are legally responsible for selecting carriers with 'reasonable care.' Brokers who place loads with unsafe carriers can be liable for accidents. Proper vetting protects shippers, carriers, and the public.

The IZY Carrier Vetting Checklist

Active MC number verified through FMCSA SAFER. Satisfactory or unrated safety rating only. Certificate of Insurance showing $1M auto liability and $100K cargo minimum — verified directly with the insurer. CSA BASIC scores reviewed for Unsafe Driving and Driver Fitness flags. Third-party carrier monitoring through MyCarrierPortal for real-time insurance and authority status.

What Gets a Carrier Disqualified

Conditional or Unsatisfactory safety rating. Insurance lapse or inadequate coverage. Authority issued less than 6 months ago (requires additional review). Identity theft red flags such as recently changed MC address. Confirmed prior double-brokering incidents.
