The idea
VetLayer sits between a broker's TMS and any load board, running automated cross-checks on authority, insurance, banking details, domain registration history, and behavioral signals such as mid-load bank-change requests or bids far outside lane history. Clean carriers pass in seconds. Anomalies surface in a 30-second exception queue instead of a 30-minute manual carrier packet review. Built for brokers processing 50 to 500 loads per week.
Who pays
Freight Brokerage Owner / President, typically Independent or regional brokerage, $5M–$75M gross revenue, 5–50 dispatchers. Replaces: manual FMCSA lookups, gut-check phone calls, and per-carrier packet review time.
The pain
SourcedCargo theft losses reached an estimated $725 million in 2025 — up roughly 60% year-over-year — with double-brokering as the primary mechanism. TIA's 2025 fraud survey found 22% of broker respondents lost more than $200,000 to fraud in a single six-month window.
