The problem
What is double brokering?
Double brokering happens when the carrier you tendered a load to hands it to another carrier — without your knowledge, authorization or vetting. The load may still deliver, or it may not; either way you've lost visibility of who's actually hauling it, whether they're insured, and who gets paid. It's a rising source of fraud, cargo loss and payment disputes, and it erodes trust across the brokerage industry.
Most brokers rely on manual checks to catch it, which is time-consuming and inconsistent. CargoLabs is building double brokering protection to give brokers and carriers a way to prepare for double-brokered loads and limit the losses when they happen. Details, limits and availability will be announced at launch.
Why it matters
Incidents are rising
Double brokering incidents and the fraud that rides along with them are increasing, and the financial exposure lands on brokers and legitimate carriers.
Manual checks don't scale
Verifying every carrier on every load by hand is slow and inconsistent — and the sophisticated schemes are designed to pass a quick look.
Losses need somewhere to land
When a load is double brokered, someone absorbs the loss. A dedicated protection product gives that loss a home other than your P&L.
