CargoMatchMaker: the spot market
- Your shipment is exposed to a wider pool of available capacity
- More carriers can compete for it
- More options when you need capacity
- Driver credentialed before arrival
Electronics. Pharma. Regulated food & beverage. High-theft goods.
Capacity from the public load boards. Credentialed drivers at your dock.
We arrange transportation for your freight in the spot market, then credential the driver before they arrive at your dock. Spot market competition for your spend, and you know who's picking up your cargo.
Best of both worlds!

Their list, or the spot market
Closed networks limit your options. We open them up.
Many providers push shippers into closed networks of pre-approved carriers. We don't. We work the spot market.
Public load boards are where a lot of trucking capacity gets posted: roughly 180,000 equipment posts a week on DAT (early October 2026). We arrange loads in the spot market, and we confirm the specific driver on the load works for the carrier, with the carrier's authorization, before the trucking company is hired.
Closed networks
- Your load stays on their pre-approved list
- Fewer carriers compete for it
- Fewer options when you need capacity
Credentialing vs. directing
Checking who's coming isn't directing the shipment.
General contractors check their subs' crews before anyone steps on site: credentials, safety records, insurance. Nobody calls that hiring them.
We do the same for freight. Driver credentialing happens before the motor carrier is hired and before the rate confirmation is sent. It confirms who's coming. It doesn't tell anyone how to haul the load. The carrier still runs its driver.
What we check
- Identity
- Carrier affiliation
- Insurance
- Location
What driver credentialing doesn't do
- Dispatch the shipment
- Track the load in transit
- Tell the driver how to do their job
- Fine or pay drivers
What you get
Capacity from the spot market. A known driver at your dock.
Many driver checks happen after the carrier is already hired. We credential the driver first, before the motor carrier is hired.
Spot market capacity
We arrange transportation for your load in the spot market, not from one provider's list.
You know who's coming to your dock
The driver is credentialed before they arrive, with a timestamped record for the shipment.
No separate fee
Driver credentialing is built into the linehaul rate.
Already have brokers?
As an independent freight agent, we may be able to work with the brokers you already use to add driver credentialing. Ask us.
How it works
Buy the transportation. The signals come with it.
When you buy transportation services from CargoMatchMaker and the licensed property brokers we work with, driver credentialing signals are included on the loads we arrange. No separate fee. It's built into the linehaul rate, and we may be able to work with the brokers you already use.
You buy transportation
We arrange capacity for your load in the spot market, with shipments brokered by licensed property brokers we work with.
You get the signals
The driver is credentialed before the motor carrier is hired, and you get a timestamped record of what was checked and when for that shipment.
The driver on your load
We check the specific driver on the load, with the carrier's authorization, before the rate con goes out.
No ELD connection needed
Our driver check doesn't depend on access to anyone's ELD data.
