PolicyWatch Freight

Every carrier you hire, continuously vetted.

Freight brokers face direct liability if a carrier they engaged causes harm. PolicyWatch Freight automates the CVOR monitoring and document audits that build a documented defence, so due diligence isn't something you scramble to prove after the fact.

The problem

The Supreme Court of Canada's Montgomery decision put freight brokers on the hook for negligent entrustment if a carrier they engaged causes harm and their vetting wasn't real.

Most brokers vet a carrier once, at onboarding. A CVOR rating can deteriorate, insurance can lapse, and nobody notices until a claim forces the question: what did you actually check, and when?

What it does

Continuous carrier monitoring, not a one-time check

CVOR monitoring

Pulls carrier safety ratings from publicly available CVOR data. Monitors for changes and flags any carrier whose rating deteriorates.

Document audit

Tracks insurance certificate expiry, driver rosters and maintenance records per carrier. Flags gaps before they become liability exposure.

Quarterly compliance score

Every carrier gets an automated compliance assessment each quarter, so you can see at a glance who's in good standing and who needs action.

On the "does monitoring create liability if we see something and don't act" question: that's exactly why the record matters. A broker who identified a deteriorating rating, reviewed it, and took documented action is in a fundamentally different legal position than one who never monitored at all. The audit trail is the defence, not the risk.
