BROKERS
Reasonable care is not what you say. It is what you can show.
Record reading…Root —Stamped —Signed Carso · Ed25519
Montgomery removed the federal shield: a broker can now be sued under state law when a carrier it hired causes harm, and the case turns on what the broker knew or should have known. Vetting confirms the carrier is who it says it is. Diligence is what you can produce later.
01 · SEARCH
Diligence Search
Vet the carriers you have. Find the ones you need. Describe a carrier in plain words and narrow by the facts on record.
02 · REPORT
Certified Diligence Report
An investigator documents what the record and the road show, and locks it into a cryptographically signed Merkle chain with a public timestamp. A patent-pending process. The document that shows how that carrier looked the day you booked.
03 · WHAT TO KEEP
Diligence you can produce later.
- The record as of the date. Authority, insurance, safety, and ownership as they stood when you booked. A search result you looked at once is not a record; a signed, timestamped report is.
- The relationships. Other carriers at the same address, phone, or officer. Chameleon carriers are found by connections, not by name.
- Only the record. We supply what the sources showed on the date, with its source. What you decided, and why, is yours, and we never characterize it.
- The driver side. Drivers are the boots on the ground who tell us the truth about what the filings hide. Their reports, through the T.A.T.T.O.O. Foundation, surface names and locations that appear in no filing.
- Proof, not opinion. Nothing here scores a carrier or calls it honest. Every finding carries its source and its date.
- Counsel decides. The standard is reasonable care under state law, and whether your file meets it is your lawyer's question. What a signed record removes is the argument that you did not look, or that you backdated it.
We build trust the hard way. Transparently.
