Feature
Know who is asking before the truck moves
Score a payer from your own history with them — paid or not, how slowly, what they still owe — before you take the load, with what was not checked stated plainly.
Free for up to 3 trucks. No card required.
The problem
The load is booked, the fuel is burned, and then nobody can get the broker on the phone. By the time the money is a problem the freight has already moved.
What changes
What Tezify does
Before you accept, the payer is scored on what this office already knows about them: whether you have hauled for them, whether they paid, how long they took, what they still owe you, and whether the rate is suspiciously good for the lane.
- Scored from your own payment history, not a number bought from anyone
- A rate well above the lane is treated as a reason to look harder, not a win
- What was NOT checked is named — no authority, bond or credit-bureau data is involved
- It points at the verification that actually closes the gap instead of guessing
- It will not call anyone a fraud; being wrong loudly is how a warning gets ignored
What the rule says
What the regulation requires
- A broker must keep a record of each transaction showing the consignor's name and address, the originating carrier's name, address and registration number, the bill of lading or freight bill number, the compensation the broker received for the brokerage and who paid it, and a description of any non-brokerage service with its own compensation and payer.
- 49 CFR 371.3(a) — Records to be kept by brokers (2024 CFR)
- That record must also show the amount of any freight charges the broker collected and the date it paid the carrier.
- 49 CFR 371.3(a)(6) — Charges collected and date paid (2024 CFR)
- Brokers must keep those records for a period of three years.
- 49 CFR 371.3(b) — Retention (2024 CFR)
- Each party to a brokered transaction has the right to review the record of that transaction. A carrier can ask to see it — this is a right, not a favour, and it is documentary rather than a score.
- 49 CFR 371.3(c) — Right of review (2024 CFR)
- A broker may not perform or offer brokerage service in any name other than the one its registration was issued in, may not represent its operations to be those of a carrier, and any advertising must show its broker status.
- 49 CFR 371.7 — Misrepresentation (2024 CFR)
- A property broker must have a surety bond or trust fund of $75,000 in effect. FMCSA will not register a broker until one is in place, and the registration remains effective only for as long as it does.
- 49 CFR 387.307(a) — Property broker surety bond or trust fund (2024 CFR)

Common questions
What problem does this solve?
- The load is booked, the fuel is burned, and then nobody can get the broker on the phone. By the time the money is a problem the freight has already moved.
How does TEZIFY handle it?
- Before you accept, the payer is scored on what this office already knows about them: whether you have hauled for them, whether they paid, how long they took, what they still owe you, and whether the rate is suspiciously good for the lane.
Can a carrier see a broker's record of the load?
- Yes. Each party to a brokered transaction has the right to review the record of that transaction, and brokers must keep those records for three years.
What must a broker's transaction record show?
- The consignor, the originating carrier and its registration number, the bill of lading or freight bill number, what the broker was paid for the brokerage and by whom, any non-brokerage service with its own compensation and payer, and the freight charges the broker collected together with the date it paid the carrier.
Does a freight broker have to be bonded?
- A property broker must have a surety bond or trust fund of $75,000 in effect. FMCSA will not register a broker without one, and the registration lasts only as long as it stays in effect.
Is this an add-on, or included?
- Included in every paid plan rather than sold separately, and available on the free tier for up to three trucks.
How much does TEZIFY cost?
- Free for up to 3 trucks, then $19 per truck per month. Every module is included in every paid plan — nothing is held back as an upsell.
Do I pay for each person who logs in?
- No. Pricing is per truck, so dispatchers, accountants, safety managers and mechanics all get their own login at no extra cost.
