MyCarrierPortal and FreightValidate Forge Strategic Partnership to Combat Fraud in the Freight Industry

Collaboration Focuses on Integrity, Trust, and Security

In a significant move aimed at enhancing transparency and security in the freight industry, MyCarrierPortal (MCP) and FreightValidate have announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the industry by prioritizing integrity, trust, and a unified front against fraud. In an era where security and transparency are paramount, this partnership aims to redefine how brokers and shippers secure their shipments, making compliance the cornerstone of the industry.

Addressing the Threat of Fraud in Freight

The freight industry continues to battle against fraud, with bad actors constantly seeking new ways to exploit vulnerabilities. While automated systems offer powerful tools, they sometimes fall short in detecting fraudulent applications and misrepresented credentials. This is where MCP and FreightValidate step in—combining cutting-edge technology with rigorous manual validation to ensure only reliable and trustworthy carriers are engaged.

"Our partnership with FreightValidate is more than just about technology; it's about leading the charge for a safer, more transparent industry," said Jay Pelkey, CEO of MyCarrierPortal. "Together, we're ensuring that compliance isn’t just a checkbox, but the foundation on which our industry stands."

A Comprehensive Approach to Carrier Validation

MCP and FreightValidate each bring unique strengths to the partnership, creating a comprehensive solution that leaves no stone unturned. MyCarrierPortal excels in monitoring reports, blocks, and ratings, providing customers with the insights needed to make informed decisions. On the other hand, FreightValidate goes beyond surface-level checks, diving deep into operational histories, validating concrete affiliations, principal places of business, and ensuring compliance with federal law. This holistic approach empowers customers to make the best decisions for their business by offering a complete view of their carriers.

Safeguarding the Supply Chain

The integrity of the supply chain relies heavily on the reliability of its carriers. MCP and FreightValidate are committed to protecting the supply chain from disruptions caused by unreliable carriers who may fail to deliver goods on time or at all. This partnership is about more than just vetting—it’s about safeguarding valuable cargo from theft, damage, or loss during transit.

"Our goal is simple: to protect and strengthen the entire industry," said Dale Prax, CEO of FreightValidate. "Through our Delta program—‘Don’t Even Let Them Aboard’—we’re taking a proactive stance against bad actors who’ve slipped through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration vetting and registration process. We’re not just catching them after the fact; we’re stopping them before they can even do business."

Ensuring Compliance and Raising Industry Standards

In an industry governed by stringent regulations such as 49 CFR and MAP-21, compliance is non-negotiable. MCP and FreightValidate’s combined approach ensures that carriers meet federal and state regulations, protecting stakeholders from legal penalties, operational disruptions, and potential liabilities. By supporting companies that genuinely follow the rules, this partnership ensures that they are not falsely labeled as bad actors.

Leading the Industry with Integrity and Innovation

This partnership represents a significant step forward in the fight against fraud in the freight industry. By joining forces, MCP and FreightValidate are not just reacting to threats; they are actively preventing them, raising the bar for industry standards. This collaboration is not about the bottom line—it is about doing what’s right for the industry, ensuring that trust and integrity are at the forefront of every transaction.

"MyCarrierPortal and FreightValidate are more than just partners—we’re allies in a shared mission to elevate the freight industry to new heights of transparency and security," said Meg Boaz, Director of Business Development. "We’re here to protect, innovate, and lead the way forward."
