The Founding Register is open to enclosed carriers.
View the criteria →For Carriers
Echelon Transport Network admits enclosed carriers. Tier 1 begins at $250,000 in confirmed cargo coverage and is the entry requirement — authority, insurance, equipment and drivers are confirmed with the institutions that issued them before an account opens.
Authority. Operating authority, safety rating, inspection history and crash record, pulled from the federal register. Authority age and ownership continuity are reviewed.
Insurance. Cargo coverage confirmed with the insurer that issued the policy, under written authorization from the carrier. Coverage history is confirmed alongside it — inception date, continuity, prior cancellations.
Equipment. Every tractor and enclosed trailer registered by VIN and matched against the insurer's equipment schedule. A unit not on the schedule cannot be registered.
Drivers. Each driver identified through a verification provider before their first load.
There is no lighter version of this, and no tier that buys past it.
A cargo policy usually pays one limit per incident. Six vehicles at $150,000 damaged in a single accident is a $900,000 claim against one limit.
Every load carries a declared value for everything on the trailer. That value is measured against the carrier's confirmed limit, and loads above it are not sent to the account.
A tier is assigned from what the insurer confirms. It is not selected and it is not purchased. A declared value above a carrier's confirmed limit requires a per-trip endorsement, confirmed with the insurer, before the load can be accepted.
Company, authority, equipment, and the name of the insurer. Two minutes, no documents, no signature. The federal record is checked immediately.
Sent to applicants who clear the first stage. One signature.
Equipment by VIN, driver roster, policy documents.
Every application is reviewed by a person. Applying creates a pending file for the verification desk. Nothing activates until it clears, and submission does not mean approval.
Currency. A member's file is re-confirmed on a cycle, more frequently at higher tiers, and re-confirmation runs ahead of expiry. A lapsed confirmation does not block a load in progress — the account moves to the tier its last valid confirmation supports.
Reporting. Any cancellation, non-renewal, limit reduction or change of insurer is reported within 24 hours. Failure to report is disqualifying whether or not anything went wrong.
Attestation. Accepting a load requires affirming that confirmed coverage remains in force. The affirmation is timestamped into the record.
Registered equipment and registered drivers only. A driver or unit change is made before dispatch, through the broker. Never at the curb.
Tracking. Location runs from assignment to delivery and stops. The carrier and the assigned broker see the truck precisely. No other party does.
Declining a load carries no penalty. A movement turned down for a coverage, safety or equipment reason produces no mark on the record and no adjustment to visibility.
A movement that is unavailable is explained. The requirement it failed is shown on the member's own screen, privately.
The record is the member's. Every entry, and the standard it was measured against.
Error and breach are separated. A late status update and a falsified document are classified differently and carry different consequences.
Founding members hold their terms for an extended locked period.
$55 per seat, per month. One rate. A seat is one person with an account.
Fleet arrangements are set by conversation. Larger rosters 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.
