How to do a Credit Check/ Broker Check.

In order to do a broker check you will need to go to Carrier Dashboard and login (it is not available on the mobile app). You then need to go to the "Factoring" Tab and click on "Credit Check".  

Then, you will be directed to enter the Broker or Shipper information.

You can enter the company's MC# or DOT# in the first window or enter the company's Name and State . Once that information is entered then select search.

 

 

Second, select the broker that matches your rate confirmation or load board then  select "View Details". (Try matching MC# and or addresses)

 

We give you the ability to see the broker's risk score. They will be shown on the right-hand side of the screen.  If the risk score is below 85, we recommend that you get approval from your Customer Success Manager (CSM) prior to accepting the load. If the risk score is under 70 click the Credit Inquiry Button. 

If you do not see approved or a risk score you are able to do a Credit Inquiry for our credit team to review. This will notify them, and they will reply to you via email.
