We Got Tired of Seeing Freight Brokers Fail DOT Audits
After watching brilliant freight brokers lose their licenses to expired carrier insurance, we knew the industry deserved better than Excel spreadsheets and manual tracking.
Our Story
We've watched too many freight brokers get blindsided by FMCSA violations because their carrier's insurance expired without warning. These aren't reckless operators—they're dedicated professionals managing hundreds of carriers with nothing but Excel spreadsheets and good intentions.
The breaking point came when we saw a $2M freight brokerage nearly shut down because they missed a single insurance expiration. The violation cost them $50,000 in fines plus months of lost revenue. All because their Excel file was three weeks out of date.
That's when we decided to build CertiAlert—not another generic business tool, but purpose-built FMCSA compliance software. Simple enough for daily use, powerful enough to prevent the violations that destroy freight brokerages.
