Modern Day Carrier Vetting That Protects Freight Brokers | Episode 344

DOT Blitz Week inspections sideline roughly one out of every three trucks, tightening capacity and driving spot rates higher across all equipment types. In this episode, we break down what those out-of-service numbers really mean, how broker liability and negligent hiring are evolving after recent court rulings, and why your carrier vetting process needs to be practical, documented, and built around the data brokers actually have access to.

We also cover how to interpret CSA scores, where carrier vetting tools like Highway and RMIS help or fall short, and how to build a scalable compliance workflow that protects your brokerage without slowing down good carriers.
