Highway Connect

What Highway Connect is

Highway Connect is a web product for freight brokers that brings carrier sourcing, onboarding, compliance checks, and ongoing monitoring together. Carriers can complete onboarding through a self-service flow, while the broker team reviews the results. Onboarding checks government IDs, matches a live photo, and verifies that the person has the right to act for the carrier. Highway says the same identity checks and rules apply to carriers in Canada and Mexico. Brokers can set requirements for insurance, authority, lane history, and equipment, and classify loads as base, high-value, or hazmat. Connect checks carrier rules continuously in real time and alerts users to changes such as identity updates or expiring insurance. When a carrier falls out of compliance, Connect says it flags and deactivates that carrier in the TMS automatically. It also identifies signals such as shared phones, authority gaps, double-brokering patterns, and digital fingerprints. Highway says Connect integrates with leading TMS, ELD, and freight technology platforms; its partner ecosystem lists more than 30 platforms, technology partners, and email plugins. Highway says the product conforms to NIST SP 800-63 Digital Identity Guidelines and uses biometric protections and multi-factor identity checks. Highway offers a 30-minute product demo and lists [email protected] as its contact email.

Connect is intended for brokers who set carrier requirements and manage which carriers join their network and see freight. It may suit teams that want self-service carrier onboarding, ongoing compliance alerts, and TMS integration in one product.
