For brokers

Vetted capacity and your vetting tool, in one

Find carriers already running your route, book the spot, and negotiate on your terms - while every carrier comes with live FMCSA data and a court-ready due-diligence record. One subscription replaces your load board and your separate carrier-vetting service.

Start free - find capacity See pricing

Free for 30 days - the full vetting suite included. No card to start.

The marketplace

Book the capacity that is already moving

Browse available carriers by route

Filter by route and see real posted trips with open spots - the carriers already heading where your shipper needs to go.

Book a spot in a few clicks

Claim a spot, add your shipper and vehicle details, and send the order request. Need several? Book multiple spots on one trip as a single request.

Negotiate with a broker offer

Book at the listed price or send a broker offer below it - the carrier accepts or counters, one-to-one.

The vetting, built in

Know exactly who you are hiring

This is the part standalone load boards leave to a separate subscription. On DeadHeader it is part of the deal.

A court-ready due-diligence report on every hire

The moment you confirm a carrier, DeadHeader generates an immutable, time-stamped, hash-stamped snapshot of that carrier's full FMCSA profile - authority, insurance, and safety - as it stood at the moment of hire. It is your negligent-hiring paper trail, created automatically, that a standalone vetting tool does not produce.

Full FMCSA data

Authority, insurance, and safety records on every carrier - shown verbatim, with a clear qualification scorecard.

Continuous monitoring

Insurance lapses and out-of-service orders surface as alerts on carriers you are working with or watching - not a one-time check.

Watchlists and private notes

Track any carrier by DOT, get change alerts, and keep a private Preferred / Caution / Blocked note. A blocked carrier drops out of your feed.

One subscription, not two

Most brokers stack two tools to do what DeadHeader does in one.

National load boards (volume-metered) $560-$2,000/mo
A carrier-vetting & monitoring service ~$50-100/mo
What that typically adds up to $600-$2,100/mo

DeadHeader - both, in one $99/mo

Founder pricing. Every user on your company account is included - no per-seat fee. Load boards meter per VIN and most brokers run more than one to reach every carrier, so the figure scales with your book. The two-tool figures are typical market ranges for comparison, not a quote.

Broker questions

Who can sign up?

Licensed auto-transport brokers. You browse available carriers, book spots, and negotiate with broker offers - and every carrier you see carries live FMCSA data.

What does it cost?

Your first 30 days are free - the full platform, no card to begin. After that it is $99/mo founder pricing, locked for life for founding brokers, with the rate rising after launch. One flat fee, no per-deal cut.

Is vetting really included - no add-on?

Yes. Full FMCSA authority, insurance, and safety data, continuous insurance-lapse and out-of-service monitoring, watchlists, a qualification scorecard, and a per-hire due-diligence report are all part of the $99/mo plan. There is no separate vetting subscription.

How is this cheaper than what I pay now?

Most brokers pay for two kinds of tool: national load boards and a separate carrier-vetting or monitoring service. The boards meter per VIN now, and most brokers run more than one to reach every carrier, so a working broker commonly runs $600 to $2,100 a month combined. DeadHeader is one flat $99/mo subscription that does both, with no per-VIN metering.

Does DeadHeader handle the payment?

No. You and the carrier settle payment directly. DeadHeader is the marketplace, the workflow, and the paperwork - no money moves through the platform.
