Every judgement on the card traces back to a federal filing with a date on it. Authority, insurance, safety and identity — in one lookup, with the reasoning visible instead of a green tick you have to take on faith.
A carrier can show ACTIVE on a public snapshot while the part of its record that matters is already gone. Three ways that happens — all of them ordinary, all of them things a broker gets held to afterwards.
One MC number can hold broker, carrier and forwarder authority separately. Read the docket and a suspended carrier looks fine. LoadPin judges each authority on its own — that alone flagged 5,131 carriers that were otherwise bookable.
A policy cancelled months ago still leaves a clean-looking certificate in an inbox. LoadPin reads the filing history, shows the lapse with its date, and shows a cancellation that hasn't taken effect yet as pending — not as a lapse, and not as nothing.
Registrations that echo a well-known carrier, share a phone or an address with other DOT numbers, or reappear weeks after a revocation. LoadPin names the sign and links straight to the record it came from.
Search by DOT, MC, phone, email, address or name. The card opens brief; tap Safety ▾ for the full record — history, authority timeline, policies, inspections, links to other DOT numbers.
Tractor crashes against tractors owned, weighted by how much road the fleet has actually covered, then ranked against carriers of similar size. Fatal crashes called out separately.
Carrier, broker and forwarder judged separately under one MC, with how long each has been held and every suspension, revocation and reinstatement in order.
Policy number and insurer, lapses in the last twelve months, and a cancellation filed but not yet effective shown as pending — the window before it bites.
Lookalike names, shared phones and addresses, very new authority, a lapse that suspended authority. Each named in plain words and linked to the event.
One number, 0 to 100, and the method is on the page next to it. Crashes involving tractors, against tractors owned, ranked against carriers of a similar size. A carrier with a bad unsafe-driving record is held out of green no matter how the arithmetic lands.
Most carriers get no score at all — too few inspections, or no tractors to divide by. LoadPin says so rather than inventing a number, because a confident score on thin evidence is the part that gets brokers into trouble.
Small fleets are scored cautiously for the same reason. Two trucks and no crashes isn't proof of safety — it's a fleet that hasn't covered enough road to show either way. A carrier's own record counts for more as it builds up the miles to mean something.
Pin the carriers you actually use. LoadPin rechecks the federal record nightly and tells you what moved — and keeps a dated note of what the record said the day you booked.
A cancellation filed today, effective in thirty days, reaches you today — not on the day the coverage stops.
A pinned carrier's authority suspended, revoked, surrendered or quietly reinstated — with the date the change was filed.
Notes on a carrier, editable, never deleted, kept beside the record. What you knew and when you knew it, in one place.
Send the driver a link. No app to install, no account to make. Position updates come back against the load, and the vetting record for that carrier sits on the same screen. A dollar a load, charged only when you start one.
Worth reading before you buy, and the reason the rest of the page can be taken at face value.
It reports federal filings, which lag the world by days. Every figure carries the date it was filed, so you can see how stale it is instead of guessing.
LoadPin shows what the insurer filed. Comparing that against the certificate in your inbox — and calling the insurer — is still your job.
It gives you the federal record for that DOT number. Checking the phone, email and address you were given against it is the check that catches impostors.
Plenty of honest carriers share an address or hold new authority. The signs are named so you can judge them, not so software can judge for you.
No subscription, no minimum, no seat count to negotiate and nothing to cancel. Put money on the balance, spend it when you work. A slow week costs nothing.
Unlimited lookups on a charged day. Unlimited devices. When the balance runs out, nothing is billed — you top it up or you don't.
