Highway and Bluewire Partner to Launch Exclusive Carrier Risk Intelligence for Freight Brokers

Quick Summary

Highway has become the exclusive reseller of the Bluewire Broker Package, integrating advanced carrier risk intelligence into its Carrier Identity platform. This partnership allows freight brokers to access severity risk snapshots and fraud detection tools to ensure safer, more defensible carrier qualification and vetting processes.

How Does Highway Solve Carrier Risk for Freight Brokers?

Highway addresses the growing complexity of carrier risk intelligence by integrating Bluewire’s proprietary data directly into its existing identity layer. This eliminates the need for disconnected point solutions, allowing brokers to verify identity and assess safety risk in a single workflow. By providing a unified qualification standard, the platform helps brokers mitigate threats from identity fraud and re-registration schemes.

• Severity Risk Snapshot: Evaluates individual carriers before load tendering.
• Benchmark Report: Analyzes long-term carrier network health.
• Risk Intelligence Report: Detects false credentialing and fraud indicators.

What Results Has the Bluewire Integration Delivered?

The partnership leverages a massive dataset to provide defensible carrier qualification. Built on more than 652,000 carrier evaluations, the system offers 47 consecutive months of data releases to ensure accuracy. This depth of carrier risk intelligence allows brokers to monitor risk trends over time rather than relying on static, outdated snapshots of carrier safety and compliance.

“The market does not need more disconnected point solutions,” said Michael Caney, Chief Commercial Officer at Highway. “Brokers need a standard they can apply at the transaction level. One that helps them know who they are working with, whether that carrier is authorized, and what risk factors should be considered before a load is booked. Highway establishes the identity layer. Bluewire adds additional carrier risk visibility. Together, we are helping brokers make carrier qualification more consistent, more informed, and more defensible.”

How Does This Partnership Prevent Freight Fraud?

By combining identity verification with safety severity scores, the platform targets the root causes of logistics identity fraud. Brokers can now identify false credentialing patterns before they lead to cargo theft or liability issues. This proactive approach to carrier risk intelligence ensures that every transaction is backed by verified data and a comprehensive GAP Score.

“Bluewire helps brokers better understand potential risk factors associated with carrier relationships,” said Steve Bryan, CEO of Bluewire. “By partnering with Highway, we are making those insights available through a platform brokers already trust to support carrier qualification, compliance, and operational decision-making.”

FF NEWS TAKE:

This partnership significantly moves the needle for carrier risk intelligence in the logistics sector. By consolidating identity and safety data, Highway and Bluewire are tackling the fragmented nature of freight tech. In an era of rising cargo fraud, providing brokers with a defensible qualification standard is not just a feature—it is a necessity for operational survival and industry-wide trust.
