Who it serves
Overview
Highway is a Dallas-based freight technology company founded in 2022 that focuses on verifying who carriers are and preventing freight fraud. It describes itself as "the leading provider of Carrier Identity solutions," meaning tools that confirm the person booking a load actually controls the carrier's authority, is authorized to act for it, and can physically move the freight.
The problem it addresses is common in brokerage: impersonation of real carriers, double brokering, fictitious pickups and stolen loads. Highway applies a "Know Your Carrier" approach borrowed from financial services and checks carriers both at onboarding and throughout each load.
An August 2025 report by Dallas Innovates said Highway served more than 1,050 brokers and was led by CEO Jordan Graft.

Services
Highway's broker tools include carrier sourcing, onboarding, certificate management and ongoing carrier monitoring. Named features include connection invitations, rightful owner validation, dispatch service detection, anti-fraud automation and Lane Certainty, a geospatial lane matching tool.
Load Lock adds load-level compliance from pickup to delivery, with real-time alerts, exception routing and secure delivery of rate confirmations. Fraud prevention add-ons include Highway for Email, which looks for phishing and spoofing in broker inboxes, and Highway for VoIP, which targets call spoofing and load hijacking. Other add-ons on its plans page include Exclusion Intel and Load Limit.
Highway for Carriers, launched in March 2025, is offered at no cost. It lets carriers look up brokers by name, MC or DOT number, check a broker's authority, activity and credit standing, flag signs of fraud, and speed up onboarding with verified brokers. Highway's site also says carriers can get alerts about unauthorized changes to their FMCSA records, which helps them spot attempts to take over their identity.
Highway also powers what it calls the Trusted Freight Exchange, a marketplace that uses verified identities and is backed by Triumph's payment network.
Who it is for
Highway's main customers are freight brokers and 3PLs that onboard many carriers and want to cut fraud and manual vetting. Carriers use the free Highway for Carriers product to protect their own identity and check brokers.
Its integrations list includes many broker TMS platforms, including McLeod, Mastery, Port TMS, Shipwell, BrokerPro and others, plus email tools such as Gmail and Outlook.
Trade coverage of Highway describes its customers as ranging from large enterprise brokerages to specialized teams that handle high-value or sensitive cargo.
How working with them works
Highway's plans page lists three plan groups: Highway Connect (Connect Core, covering sourcing, onboarding, certificate management, carrier monitoring and TMS integration), Load Lock, and fraud prevention add-ons. The plans page reviewed in November 2026 did not show prices and directed buyers to book a demo. Contract terms and setup fees are not published.
A broker typically connects Highway to its TMS so vetting rules apply when carriers are booked, invites carriers to onboard through Highway, and sets up monitoring alerts for changes such as insurance lapses or revoked authority. The company says support is available seven days a week for onboarding and carrier alerts.
Questions to ask before you sign
What is the monthly price for the plan and add-ons we need, how many users and carrier uploads are included, and what are overage terms?
What is the contract term, is it annual, and how does cancellation work?
Does Highway integrate natively with our TMS, and does that integration block bookings with carriers that fail our rules, or only warn?
How does Highway confirm carrier identity, and what happens when a legitimate carrier fails a check? Ask how disputes are handled so good carriers are not turned away.
Who owns the carrier data, documents and fraud findings we generate, and can we export them?
How do Highway's identity checks work alongside our existing carrier packet or onboarding tool, and do we still need both?
