Per-load defense file for freight brokers

Every load, a court-ready record of your diligence.

The moment you tender a load, TenderProof seals how you vetted the carrier into a timestamped, tamper-evident file — provable to anyone in seconds, no account. We prove you did your homework; we never rate the carrier.

Why this exists now

The standard changed. Your record is the defense.

A recent unanimous Supreme Court decision made a broker's documented diligence the deciding factor when a carrier causes harm. Tap the ruling to see what it means — and why a sealed, per-load record is now the thing that protects you.

The payoff

Your defense is finished before the claim exists.

The most valuable thing TenderProof does is quiet: the day you tender a load, it seals a complete, court-ready file. So if a claim lands a year later, you don't scramble — you open the file that was already waiting.

  • Sealed the day you tender — not reconstructed from memory and email months later.
  • Checked against your written policy: authority, insurance, safety. A record, never a rating.
  • Tamper-evident and hash-chained, so its integrity holds up when it matters most.
  • Signed by TenderProof and independently verifiable — the other side confirms it's genuine without taking your word for it.

How it works

Three steps. One file per load.

It fits the way you already tender freight — no new workflow to learn.

  1. 1. Vet

    Check the carrier against your written policy — authority, insurance, safety.

  2. 2. Seal

    One click freezes a timestamped, tamper-evident record — signed by TenderProof — on the day you tender.

  3. 3. Defend

    If a claim comes, view, print, or download the court-ready file — or hand the other side a link or QR and they verify it in seconds, no account.
