For brokers
Every kind of freight is different.Your verification should be too.
Arthur qualifies the truck, the driver, and the equipment before pickup details are released. You decide what gets checked for each kind of freight you move.
What do you haul?
Built around your freight
One platform. Your rules.
Driver’s license checks are only the start. Arthur is a truck, driver, and equipment qualification tool, and every broker runs it a little differently.
Rules key off the load.
Set what gets checked by equipment type. Arthur reads it from the load in your TMS, so a Sprinter van and a 53-foot dry van never get the same ask.
Drivers see only what fits.
A Sprinter van driver is not asked for a CDL unless you configure it. A flatbed driver is asked to show the equipment you need to see. Fewer false flags, faster passes.
Nothing loads until it passes.
Pickup details stay held until the truck, driver, and equipment clear your rules, so every truck you load is one you’ve verified.
If a verification asks the wrong thing, flag it, and we’ll tune the configuration with you.
Open deck
Qualify the driver and the equipment before anything is loaded.
On flatbed, step deck, and RGN, knowing who the driver is only gets you halfway. Open deck freight is more dynamic than van freight: the right equipment and the right condition matter as much as the right license. Brokers use Arthur as a driver and equipment qualification check, set up for the loads they actually run.
Why it matters
A truck that arrives without the right securement or with a broken deck is a wasted trip, a missed pickup, and a phone call from your customer. Catch it while there is still time to recover.
What open deck brokers configure
- Securement on hand: photos of chains, straps, or tarps before the truck rolls to the shipper.
- Ramps for equipment hauls, confirmed before arrival.
- Deck condition: a photo of the trailer deck to catch missing or broken boards.
- The right trailer type for the load, matched to the carrier you booked.
- Your customers’ requirements, too. If a shipper has its own rules for who can show up, make them part of the check.
Sprinter van, straight truck & expedite
A different kind of driver needs a different kind of check.
Sprinter vans, cargo vans, box trucks, straight trucks, and hotshots often run without a CDL, without DOT markings, and with a regular registration instead of a cab card. A truckload checklist fails good drivers here and misses the real risk. Arthur switches to an expedite set of checks automatically from the equipment type on the load.
Why it matters
In expedite, the paperwork that protects you on truckload often is not there. If the vehicle that picks up is not the insured vehicle you booked, a cargo claim has nowhere to go.
What expedite brokers configure
- A standard driver’s license where no CDL is required.
- A photo of the side of the vehicle and the license plate in place of a DOT decal.
- The plate checked against the registration or truck decal, so the vehicle matches the paperwork.
- Proof of insurance on the vehicle, before it moves your freight.
- Hotshots held to a higher bar if you want - the side-of-vehicle photo weeds out printed signs and window paint.
Dry van & reefer
Truckload freight, verified at every pickup.
Full truckload dry van and refrigerated freight is where impersonated carriers and fictitious pickups do the most damage. Arthur’s full truck and driver check runs here out of the box, and you can tighten it for high-value or perishable lanes.
Why it matters
Most fraud on truckload does not look like fraud on paper. The authority is real and the insurance is active. The question is whether the truck at the dock belongs to the carrier you booked.
What Arthur checks on truckload
- CDL scanned and checked for authenticity, expiration, and domicile status.
- Live selfie matched to the license.
- Team drivers: both drivers verify, so you know who is in the cab.
- DOT number on the truck matched to the carrier you booked.
- Seal and BOL photos tied to the load record.
Arthur is the best tool in the market to fight fraud.
