Why carriers are getting rejected

The rules changed.Nobody toldthe carriers.

After the Supreme Court’s Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II ruling in May 2026, brokers can be held liable for hiring unsafe carriers. So they raised the bar on insurance, safety ratings and authority age. Their vetting tools show them everything about you. Until now, nothing showed you the rules.

brokers with published rules require $1M auto liability.

Many carriers still carry, or show on FMCSA, $750K.

days of authority some brokers want before they'll load you.

Insurance check · free

Snap your dec page.Know your gaps.

Upload a photo or PDF of your declarations page or renewal quote. We read the limits, deductibles and premium, then tell you which brokers your coverage clears and what to ask your agent.

  • Coverage vs. every broker's minimums
  • Premium per truck, compared with carriers like you (once there's enough data)
  • Plain-English questions for your agent

We delete the file after reading it. CarrierReady doesn’t sell insurance and this isn’t insurance advice.

Our promise

Your dataworks for you.

Carriers trust peers, not software. So here’s exactly what we do with what you share.

Built for carriers, not brokers

Brokers have Highway, RMIS and Carrier Assure. This one is yours. We never sell or share your identifiable data with brokers unless you opt in.

Every rule has a source

Each broker requirement shows where it came from, how confident we are, and the date it was last verified.

Your dec page is deleted

We read the numbers and throw the file away. Benchmarks only appear once at least 10 carriers are in a group.

No guarantees, no games

We don't promise loads or prices. We show you the rules and the cheapest path. You decide.

Pricing

The check is free and always will be. Pro and Fleet switch on when 50 carriers ask for them. Join the list and you’ll be first in.
