For Vendors · Carrier Vetting & Identity
Meet buyers who did the work before the first call.
PreShiftIQ™ connects your carrier vetting and identity product with buyers across the supply chain ecosystem, brokers, shippers, 3PLs, and asset carriers with brokerage operations, who have completed a structured assessment of their requirements. Both sides arrive at discovery prepared, and the match is built on measured fit.
What you get
Qualified, documented leads
Every buyer arrives having documented their load volume, onboarding throughput, current vetting stack, insurance and authority monitoring practice, fraud exposure, and what their counsel and insurers expect the record to show. You receive their stated requirements, including their non-negotiables, before the first conversation.
Both sides prepared
No cold discovery. The buyer knows what they need and you know it too, so the first call starts where a normal sales cycle gets to on call three.
Participatory accuracy
Your scorecard is how buyers see your fit. You can engage to keep it accurate, because a reference layer only works when the vendors in it are represented accurately.
Why buyers are evaluating this category now
In Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, decided in May 2026, the Supreme Court held unanimously that the FAAAA safety exception preserves state-law negligent-hiring claims against freight brokers. The broad preemption defense the market relied on is gone, and the operative standard is ordinary care in carrier selection.
That changed what buyers are shopping for. Carrier vetting moved from a fraud-loss purchase to a liability-defense purchase, the buyer population widened from brokers with fraud exposure to every party that tenders freight, and the budget line moved toward risk and compliance. It also changed what counts as product: the evidence a vetting event produces now carries as much weight in the evaluation as the data it consumes. Buyers are asking whether a contemporaneous, attributable record gets created, and whether that record can leave your platform, survive the end of the relationship, and be authenticated by an outsider.
The assessment asks buyers those questions directly, so the leads you receive are scoped to what you actually do.
How the model works
PreShiftIQ is vendor-funded and buyer-aligned: vendors pay for outcomes, never for influence. One published rate, the same for every vendor in every category.
5% of first-year contract value
- No fee to participate, no fee to be scored, no fee to appear in match results, and no fee to accept a match.
- You pay only when a buyer you were matched with becomes your customer. Nothing is owed before that.
- The rate is published and not negotiated, so no vendor has a better deal than you. No placement fees, no sponsored slots.
- No commercial arrangement alters a vendor's scorecard, match eligibility, or match ranking. Those are determined solely by measured fit against a buyer's requirements.
The rate and the boundary are published at How We Are Paid.
The alignment is enforced, not promised.
Buyer trust is the asset every vendor is paying to reach, so we do not ask anyone to take the alignment on faith. It is built into the platform and recorded.
Matching is payment-blind by construction
What a vendor pays never enters the scoring path. The engine that computes fit has no access to billing or commercial terms, so a vendor's economics cannot reach the match even in principle.
Every decision is on the record
Each scoring decision is written to an immutable, time-stamped audit trail that names the actor behind it. The platform can demonstrate that a score was computed from measured fit and nothing else.
This is what buyer-aligned means in practice: the money never touches the match, and the record proves it. It is the same standard that protects you, no competitor can buy a ranking you earned on fit.
How matching works
PreShiftIQ runs disqualification-first matching. A vendor that does not meet a buyer's hard requirement is excluded before scoring begins, so the buyer never sees a match that cannot serve them. Matching never penalizes a vendor for data we have not measured yet; it gates only on a requirement a vendor is known to lack. Remaining fit is scored across the assessed dimensions and ranked.
Coverage in this category is scored job by job rather than as a single yes or no. A buyer who needs authority and insurance monitoring at depth, and identity verification only lightly, is matched differently from one whose exposure sits in double-brokering detection. Depth is what separates a vendor who performs a job from a vendor who performs it well.
What you see as a vendor
You see only your own standing and your own leads. No vendor can ever see another vendor's scorecard, scores, or client leads. Every vendor's view is fully isolated.

Watch points
Counsel reviews the diligence workflow before signature; the record format has to satisfy outside counsel, not just the operations team.
Non-negotiable requirements
Exportable diligence records that remain authenticable after the vendor relationship ends. Continuous insurance monitoring, not point-in-time verification only.
Sample data shown for illustration. You receive the client's complete requirements assessment; selections the client marked confidential in the assessment are never released to any vendor. Outreach is governed by the mutual NDA executed at onboarding. Client information may not be resold, shared, or re-exposed to any third party.
Screens are illustrative and use sample data. A real client's identity and requirements are revealed to you only after you accept the lead.
The reference layer for carrier vetting selection
PreShiftIQ maintains the canonical reference layer for carrier vetting and identity selection, with 28 vendors mapped across the category and built to the same independent standard we apply across every category we cover. Being represented accurately in that layer is how serious buyers find and evaluate you. Vendors who engage help keep their own scorecard precise, which is the fastest path to a well-matched lead.
Getting started
- Create your vendor profile at app.preshiftiq.com and claim your carrier vetting product.
- Complete your vendor scorecard so your fit is measured accurately across the assessment dimensions, including per-job coverage depth.
- Review your scorecard with the PreShiftIQ team in a working session, so your product is represented accurately before any buyer sees it.
- Receive qualified, documented buyer leads matched to your product on measured fit.
Bring your team in. You can invite collaborators to help complete and manage your scorecard, and you control who has access. Every collaborator is scoped to your account only, so inviting your team never exposes your information to another vendor.
A mutual NDA is executed at onboarding.
