DOTScreener vs Highway
Highway positions itself around carrier identity: verifying a carrier's identity, authority and insurance before a load is awarded, then enforcing that standard on each load from tender through pickup.
Who it's for: Primarily freight brokers and 3PLs. Carriers get a free account, and there's a page for insurance agencies. Shippers aren't a listed audience.
Where Highway is strong
- Deep identity focus: a Carrier Identity Engine, secure rate-con delivery only to verified carriers, and a Know Your Driver check near pickup.
- Per-load protection (Load Lock) and real-time tracking after pickup (Load Lock+).
- A Performance Guarantee of up to $100K on qualifying shipments when their products are used together.
- Named TMS/ELD integrations, including McLeod, Turvo, Alvys and Revenova.
When DOTScreener is the better fit
- You want published pricing and to start today: no sales call, no demo required.
- You're a shipper. DOTScreener is built for shippers as well as brokers.
- You need a defensible paper trail: a timestamped, tamper-evident Carrier Selection Record for every selection, refiled automatically when a carrier's status worsens.
- You want AI to read COIs and catch a certificate issued to the wrong company.
