Frequently asked questions
What does Highway actually do for a freight broker?
Highway provides Carrier Identity: continuous verification of a carrier's identity, operating authority, insurance and driver participation before, during and after every load, instead of one-time onboarding. Product layers include Connect (verify carrier identity), Secure Rate Con Delivery, Load Lock and Load Lock+ (monitor the load and track the shipment), Know Your Driver (verify the person arriving at pickup) and the Trusted Freight Exchange for sourcing verified capacity. Highway states it stands behind qualified loads with up to $100K protection when Connect, Load Lock and Secure Rate Con Delivery are used together.
How does Highway fit with our existing TMS?
Highway publishes an integration ecosystem spanning TMS, ELD, freight tech and email. Premier TMS partners include 3PL Systems, BrokerPro, McLeod Software, Revenova, Sunnybrook TMS, Tai Software, Transfix and Transport Pro, with a longer list of TMS partners such as Aljex, Alvys, AscendTMS, MercuryGate, Trimble and Turvo. Email plugins are offered for Gmail, Outlook, Front and Hiver. Highway says these integrations enable automated compliance and fraud prevention, but it does not publish an implementation timeline or onboarding SLA.
How much does Highway cost?
Highway does not publish list pricing on its website; the site routes buyers to a demo request form, so commercial terms are quote-based and likely scoped to volume and module mix. No implementation fee, minimum seat count or free tier is published either. Budget for a sales-led evaluation and ask for module-level pricing covering Connect, Secure Rate Con Delivery, Load Lock, Load Lock+, Know Your Driver and the Trusted Freight Exchange.
What evidence is there that Highway reduces freight fraud?
The vendor site reports a 99.9% fraud reduction when the process is followed, a 92% reduction in freight fraud and a 90% reduction in manual processes, plus a customer quote from the VP of Solutions at KCH Transportation. These are vendor-reported figures that are not independently audited, so ask for reference customers and the method behind the numbers during evaluation.
