Carrier verification
Strengthen the check around who is assigned to the load and how they are represented.
Freight verification infrastructure
Establish trust before freight moves.
SpotLock helps 3PLs and shippers verify participants, document authorization, and create a chain-of-custody record before pickup.
Freight custody record Active verification path
- 3PL Verified
- Carrier Authorized
- Dispatcher Documented
- Driver Verified
- Truck Matched
- Pickup Timestamped
- Delivery Recorded
Identity Carrier, driver, equipment
Authorization Captured with timestamps
Visibility Shared with approved parties
The gap
Freight transactions still rely on workflows that were not built for custody.
Phone calls, emails, PDFs, screenshots, forwarded documents, and assumptions can move a load forward, but they were not designed to establish identity or document authorization.
As fraud becomes more sophisticated, uncertainty becomes operational risk.
SpotLock gives teams a more deliberate way to verify the parties around a load, capture authorization, and retain a useful record of diligence.
Unknown participants Forwarded documents Limited shipper visibility
SpotLock platform
Freight verification beyond a single identity check.
SpotLock brings carrier, driver, equipment, authorization, visibility, and audit-trail workflows into one structured transaction record.
Driver verification
Connect the person arriving for pickup to the authorization record before freight moves.
Equipment verification
Document equipment details and match them against the transaction context.
Authorization capture
Record who approved the handoff, when it happened, and what was represented.
Chain-of-custody record
Create a structured record around verification, timestamps, and custody events.
Shipper visibility
Share the right verification signals with shippers without changing the commercial relationship.
Freight Custody
A practical framework for verified freight handoffs.
Freight Custody is the discipline of establishing verified identity, documented authorization, and custody visibility across a freight transaction.
Verified identity
Confirm participants and equipment are connected to the expected transaction.
Documented authorization
Capture approvals, timestamps, and handoff context in a consistent record.
Custody visibility
Support shared visibility for authorized parties without brokering freight.

Trust principles
SpotLock supports verification, documentation, and visibility workflows.
SpotLock is a technology provider. It does not broker freight, solicit freight, or replace the commercial relationship between brokers, carriers, and shippers.
Risk reduction, not guarantees
SpotLock can help reduce uncertainty and document diligence, but no technology can guarantee prevention of fraud or theft.
Records built for review
Verification events, authorization details, and timestamps are retained to support review and post-incident analysis.
