The idea
SelectRecord pulls and timestamps FMCSA safety ratings, insurance certificates, and carrier performance history at the moment of booking, then generates a structured carrier-selection justification record stored with the load file. Every decision is documented and retrievable years later without reconstructing email threads or load board screenshots. Built for brokers booking 10 or more carriers per day who cannot afford post-incident discovery surprises.
Who pays
Freight Brokerage Owner / President, typically Independent or regional brokerage, $5M–$75M gross revenue, 5–50 dispatchers. Replaces: post-incident email reconstruction and manual screenshot archives of load board vetting decisions.
The pain
SourcedThe May 2026 Supreme Court ruling strips brokers of their FAAAA preemption shield. Brokers will now defend negligent-selection claims through full discovery, meaning every carrier booking decision needs a documented, auditable justification — something most TMS systems do not provide today.
