Carrier Assure

What Carrier Assure does

Carrier Assure is a U.S. trucking-industry SaaS company founded in 2022 by transportation lawyer Cassandra Gaines, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The company serves freight brokers, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), shippers, and dispatchers who need to vet and monitor trucking-company reliability before tendering loads, with a customer roster that includes DHL, SPI Logistics, Circle Logistics, Integrity Express Logistics, Ryan Transportation, NEXT Trucking, Transfix, Crowley, and Echo Logistics. The platform reports over 10,000 registered users, 12,900+ daily carrier searches, and 24,615 daily views, and quantifies customer outcomes ranging from a 60% claims reduction at Circle Logistics to a 99% double-brokering reduction at Legacy Supply Chain.

The core product is the Carrier Assure Performance Scoring Platform, which assigns a daily A–F grade to every trucking company with active interstate FMCSA authority. Grades are produced by hundreds of proprietary algorithms processing more than 2,000,000 DOT numbers and 2 million data points per day across six score drivers: Business Stability (contact data, authority, insurance, fleet size), DOT Performance (safety scores, inspections, violations, out-of-service rates), User Reports (verified SuspectCarrier submissions), GPS Tracking reliability, Related Entity detection, and Community Reviews. The platform is complemented by SuspectCarrier Reports, SuspectBroker Reports (broker scoring is described as imminent), a moderated Roundtable discussion platform, and a Chrome browser extension. Distribution extends beyond the standalone carrierassure.com application through API and embedded integrations with Project44 Movement (carrier risk scoring during bidding), Descartes MyCarrierPortal (carrier onboarding), RMIS, a Truckstop Company compliance product, and Freight Claims, which contributes 12 months of cargo claims history covering 5,000+ real claims as a vetting input.

Carrier Assure monetizes through a freemium SaaS model: a free Individual tier permitting unlimited SuspectCarrier submissions, a $149-per-month Premium subscription with unlimited carrier scores and reports, and a custom-priced Enterprise tier providing multi-account licensing, API access, and analytics/reporting. Go-to-market combines self-serve product-led growth (free registration, Chrome extension) with enterprise and embedded-distribution sales, supported by content marketing via the Carrier Assure blog, weekly industry webinars reaching 800+ transportation professionals, social channels, and the founder-owned "More Freight More Problems" conference series held in Tampa, Chicago, and Scottsdale. In 2026 the company released The CAVRA Standard, a 54-page public industry framework for defensible carrier-selection processes, intentionally positioned as a benchmark rather than a proprietary product. Founder Cassandra Gaines was recognized in Business Insider's "100 People Transforming Business in North America."

Core offering

Carrier Assure is a SaaS platform that monitors U.S. trucking companies and assigns each one an A-F performance score by running hundreds of proprietary algorithms over FMCSA data, GPS/tracking feeds, cargo claims history, and verified user-submitted SuspectCarrier/SuspectBroker reports. It enables freight brokers, 3PLs, and shippers to vet carriers, monitor compliance, and reduce exposure to double brokering, fraud, theft, and cargo claims. The platform is offered as a free individual tier, a $149/month Premium tier, and an Enterprise tier with API integration.

Product overview

Carrier Assure is a unified carrier vetting and performance intelligence platform designed for shippers and freight brokers. The core product is the Carrier Assure Performance Scoring Platform, which delivers A-F carrier scores based on proprietary algorithms analyzing FMCSA data, GPS tracking, user reports, and related entity connections. The platform is complemented by two reporting products: SuspectCarrier Reports for flagging problematic carriers and SuspectBroker Reports for reporting brokers. The company offers three pricing tiers (Individual free, Premium at $149/month, and Enterprise with API access), plus a Chrome browser extension. All products work together to help users avoid double brokering, fraud, and cargo theft while identifying high-performing carriers.

Direct peers

• Highway: Highway (formerly Carrierok) provides carrier identity verification and fraud prevention for freight brokers, directly overlapping with Carrier Assure's carrier vetting, double-brokering detection, and compliance scoring use cases for the same broker/3PL buyer.
• Truckstop (formerly Truckstop.com): Truckstop operates a load board plus carrier compliance and vetting services (including RMIS), competing with Carrier Assure in the broker-side carrier verification market; notably Truckstop's RMIS unit is also a Carrier Assure integration partner.
• Carrier411 (now part of Saferwatch): Carrier411/Saferwatch provides FMCSA-based carrier monitoring, safety scores, and compliance alerts to brokers and shippers—a direct analog to Carrier Assure's A–F scoring and DOT Performance driver.
• VerifyLoad: VerifyLoad offers carrier vetting, double-brokering detection, and cargo claim scoring for freight brokers, addressing the same pain points (fraud, theft, cargo loss) that Carrier Assure solves for the same customer segments.
• HaulHub / VerifyDOT: HaulHub's VerifyDOT (formerly Saferwatch) provides FMCSA compliance and carrier screening tools used by brokers, overlapping directly with Carrier Assure's DOT Performance and Business Stability score drivers.

Broad incumbents

• Descartes: Descartes is a broad logistics technology incumbent whose MyCarrierPortal onboarding product both competes with and integrates Carrier Assure scores; it offers carrier onboarding, TMS, and customs solutions spanning many use cases beyond carrier vetting.
• Project44: Project44 is a global supply chain visibility platform that embeds Carrier Assure's scores inside its Movement bidding flow; as a broader visibility incumbent it could choose to internalize carrier risk scoring, making it both a partner and a structural threat.
• FourKites: FourKites is a supply chain visibility and predictive ETA platform serving shippers and 3PLs; while broader in scope, it increasingly overlaps with Carrier Assure via carrier performance insights and dynamic appointment offerings.
• Turvo: Turvo provides a collaborative TMS for shippers, brokers, and carriers; its carrier management and onboarding features compete with Carrier Assure's vetting and scoring capabilities at the workflow level.
• Trimble Transportation: Trimble Transportation offers a broad TMS and carrier management suite used by large brokers and shippers, providing an incumbent platform alternative to standalone carrier scoring tools like Carrier Assure.
