The vetting standard
Every provider. Every delivery. Verified.
We don't let providers self-certify. Every credential, every background check and every insurance policy is independently verified before a provider handles their first delivery.
Credential Verification
Every provider's credentials, licences and insurance certificates are independently verified before they can accept a single delivery on the platform.
Background Checked
All providers complete a full background check and relevant clearance queries as part of onboarding. No self-certification. No exceptions.
Provider Agreement
Every provider operates under a formal agreement that clearly defines accountability, liability and conduct — protecting both parties on every engagement.
Provider Agreement — Every provider on Shipmater operates under a formal agreement that defines accountability, liability and conduct standards. You're covered before the first mile is driven.
What they say
Real deliveries. Real peace of mind.
“We tender 40 loads a week across our regional lanes. Shipmater gave us verified carriers on demand — no more chasing check calls.”
Sandra K.
Logistics Manager, Regional Distributor
“I run a six-truck fleet. Loads come to me, rate cons are generated automatically, and payouts land when the POD is signed.”
James R.
Owner-Operator & Dispatcher, JR Transport
“Our team moves high-value equipment between sites regularly. The verification process alone makes Shipmater worth it. The tracking is a bonus.”
