The right tool depends on your workflow

Carrier411 and Highway serve different parts of the freight risk and carrier identity market. Larger teams may evaluate them for broader risk, fraud, and compliance programs.

CarrierOwl is narrower by design: free carrier lookup plus shared history, saved carriers, printable records, and visible pricing for smaller teams.

Shared search workflow

Up to 2,000 organization searches each month with history shared across the broker team.

Saved carriers and changes

Keep up to 100 carriers on a shared watchlist and see visible changes against the saved baseline.

Printable review records

Open a dated carrier review record that your team can print or retain with its internal decision file.

Available now

Give your team one carrier-vetting workspace.

Search up to 2,000 carriers per month, save repeat carriers, revisit shared history, monitor visible changes, and print a review record before rate confirmation.
