The Founding Register is open to enclosed carriers.

Echelon Transport Network admits licensed property brokers carrying contingent cargo coverage. Every carrier on the board has been confirmed at the source, and the client relationship remains with the broker throughout.
Everything you would otherwise assemble from three phone calls and a PDF.
Authority status and the date it was checked. Coverage tier and the date it was confirmed. How long the coverage has been held and whether it has lapsed. Registered equipment. The assigned driver. Loads completed on this network, damage claims and strikes.
Every line carries the date it was checked. Coverage confirmed in February can be cancelled by April, and the age of an answer is part of the answer.
Authority, pulled from the federal register — status, safety rating, inspection history, crash record.
Insurance, confirmed with the insurer that issued the policy, under written authorization from the carrier.
Coverage history, confirmed alongside it — inception date, continuity, prior cancellations.
Equipment, registered by VIN and matched against the insurer's equipment schedule.
Drivers, identified through a verification provider before their first load.
Every file is re-confirmed on a cycle. Accepting a load requires the carrier to affirm that coverage remains in force, and the affirmation is timestamped into the record.
You are not vetting carriers here. Nobody reaches the board without clearing all four.
The broker enters the movement in full — route, window, deck, handling, declared value, contacts at both ends. It is sealed on entry.
What the board displays is the specification: city and state, dimensions, clearance, weight, handling notes, equipment required, tier band and rate. Not the year, make or model. Not the VIN. Not the declared value.
Every listing reads Echelon Vehicle.
The rest releases in sequence, and each release is logged. Pickup address on assignment. Delivery address once pickup is signed. Vehicle identity to the driver at the curb.
A carrier who accepts and then cancels never received the vehicle's identity or the addresses.
When a broker posts a load, they enter a declared value for every vehicle on it. Those values are added together. That total is what the load is worth.
Every carrier on the network has a cargo limit that Echelon Transport Network confirmed with their insurer. If the load's total is higher than the carrier's limit, the load is not sent to that carrier's account.
Why the total and not the individual vehicle. A cargo policy pays one limit per incident, not one limit per vehicle. If a trailer carrying six vehicles at $150,000 each is in an accident, the claim is $900,000 against a single limit. A carrier insured for $500,000 would be $400,000 short.
So a carrier insured for $500,000 sees loads totalling up to $500,000, and does not see the $900,000 load at all.
The carriers who request a broker's load are the carriers whose insurance covers it.
Echelon Transport Network does not contact a broker's client. All communication runs through the broker. The driver does not call the client and never sees the client's phone number.
Echelon Transport Network is not a property broker. It does not arrange transportation, does not select carriers, and is not a party to any transportation contract.
It does not handle freight funds. The client pays the broker. The broker pays the carrier. Neither flow passes through the platform.
Rate is between the broker and the carrier. Your margin is disclosed to your client and to nobody else on this network.
When a load closes, a single document is assembled and delivered to the broker. It carries the broker's branding.
The signed bill of lading. Condition at pickup and at delivery, captured to the same eight-media standard. Any exception raised, and how it was resolved. The custody record. The verification record — authority, coverage tier, equipment, driver and recipient, each with the date it was checked. And a closing letter on the broker's branding, drafted by the platform and edited by the broker before it is sent.
Confirmed limits are not disclosed. A carrier holds a tier, and the tier is what the client sees.
Echelon Transport Network confirms what was checked. It does not guarantee performance or claim payment.
Contingent cargo coverage. The broker's own policy, responding where a carrier's cargo coverage fails to pay. The limit must meet or exceed the highest tier the broker is permitted to post, and it is confirmed with the insurer the same way a carrier's is.
An accurate declared value. The declared value determines which carriers can see a load and what the carrier's policy is measured against. A value that does not match the vehicle at pickup is a major infraction, and a pattern of it ends the account. Where a value is understated, the coverage is understated with it, and the shortfall falls to the broker — the client's contract is with the broker.
Genuine postings. Posting history forms part of the broker's record and is visible to carriers.
Brokers are held to the same classification system, the same severities and the same consequences as carriers.
$159 per month. Two seats are included in that figure.
Volume and enterprise arrangements are set by conversation. Additional seats, multiple offices and enterprise terms are handled directly with the verification desk.
Verification is never a paid tier. The requirements are identical at every price. No amount of money buys a lighter check, a faster review or an exception.
Revenue is subscription only. Nothing on this platform is priced against a movement, and Echelon Transport Network takes no commission on any load.
