Every load rides on a carrier you chose.Show you chose the right one.
Your service, your liability, your name ride on the carrier you put on the load. Broker-Aware sorts which carriers are risk and which aren't — against your standard, not ours — and keeps a record that proves the one you chose met it.
Why now — the Supreme Court's Montgomery v. Caribe (9-0, May 14, 2026) removed brokers' federal-preemption shield: carrier selection is now ordinary state negligence, and the only defense is a documented, reasonable choice. What that means for you →

The carrier is the variable you can least see — and most answer for.
You sort the freight, set the price, manage the customer. The one thing you can't fully see, and are now on the hook for, is the carrier. Their safety record becomes your service record. Their risk becomes your liability. Choosing well is the job; proving you chose well is the new part.
Pull the carrier
USDOT or MC. We read the public FMCSA record — authority, insurance, the five BASICs, inspection history.
Score to your bar
We measure each carrier against the criteria you set, and return a clear pass or fail to that standard.
Keep the receipt
A timestamped, verifiable record of the carrier, your criteria, and the result — the day you chose them.
Stay current
We watch the carriers on your panel and flag the moment one crosses your line — before the next load, not after.
Which carriers are risk, and which aren't — measured against your bar.
Broker-Aware reads every carrier against the criteria you set — authority, insurance, the safety thresholds and the lanes or brands you care about — and returns a clear pass or fail to that standard. We show you the part FMCSA's public site doesn't: where a carrier is heading, not just where it stands today.
We never call a carrier "good" or "bad." We tell you whether they cleared the bar you chose. The judgment stays yours — we make it fast, consistent, and documentable. That neutrality is on purpose: it keeps Broker-Aware a tool, not someone else's verdict on a carrier.
Then prove it — with a record anyone can check.
The question after an incident isn't whether a carrier ever has one — it's whether you can show the one you chose met your standard the day you chose them. Broker-Aware generates a contemporaneous receipt for each selection: this carrier, this load, your criteria, the result, the timestamp. Verifiable at a public link by your shipper, your insurer, or opposing counsel. That's the difference between saying you vet and showing it.
The look is free. The record is what you pay for.
Anyone can look a carrier up — you can do it free on Carrier-Aware right now, no charge, no Broker-Aware plan. What a free look doesn't leave behind is a record: a timestamped, verifiable receipt of this carrier, your standard, and the result, the day you chose them. That receipt is Broker-Aware. You're not paying to see — you're paying to be able to show.
A free look answers the question today. The record answers it later — for your shipper, your insurer, or opposing counsel — when "I checked" needs to be more than your word.
