Is this load double-brokered?

Upload a rate con or BOL before you haul, pay or fund it. Sentinel checks the file for editing, checks every party against FMCSA, and looks for the multi-MC networks behind double brokering. Free for carriers, owner-operators, brokers and shippers.

Every load real. Every carrier paid.

Cypress exists to stop double brokering before it starts. When roadside enforcement sidelines drivers and capacity gets tight, shell carriers and borrowed MC numbers rush to fill the gap. Cypress checks the paperwork and the carrier first, to reduce brokers’ exposure on their bond, protect factoring companies’ money, and make sure no carrier is left unpaid for a load they hauled.

Guard the broker’s bond

Catch altered rate cons, borrowed MC numbers and reopened carriers before a bad load ever touches your authority.

Protect the factor’s money

Verify the document, the carrier and whether the load was already sold to someone else, before funding.

Protect the carrier’s pay

Know the load is real and who is paying before you roll, so you are never stranded unpaid.

What Sentinel looks for

Edited paperwork

PDF editor fingerprints, typed boxes over the original, fonts that do not match, totals that do not add up.

Borrowed identities

Every MC and DOT checked against FMCSA: name, phone, active status and how new the authority is.

Multi-MC networks

Other authorities that share the same phone, email or officer, including ones that went inactive.

Mailbox addresses

PMBs, mailbox stores and addresses shared by dozens of carriers, plus FMCSA undeliverable flags.

More loads than trucks

Carriers reporting no trucks, or booking far more freight than their fleet can haul.

Redirected payment

A pay-to that is not the carrier or a factoring company, extra carriers named, personal-email brokers.

For factoring companies

Verify every rate con before you fund it. Factoring partners get the full Sentinel report plus a duplicate-presentment check: we tell you if the same load was already presented by another factoring company in the last 180 days, without naming them. That is how one load gets sold twice and the driver who hauled it goes unpaid.

Sentinel reports signals, not verdicts. Many legitimate small carriers share an address or are new. Always confirm with the broker on the FMCSA-listed phone number.
