How the FreightGuard System Works

Brokers can file negative reports that stick. Many shippers and 3PLs treat those entries as a de-facto blacklist.

  • Reports can be filed for a wide range of reasons — from delays to disputes.
  • Entries become effectively permanent and are widely referenced by brokers.
  • FreightGuard is not an FMCSA program, yet it heavily influences market access.

How This Hurts Owner-Operators and Fleets

One report can erase contracts and credibility overnight.

  • Shippers and brokers blacklist carriers based on a single entry.
  • No formal appeals process to clear false or retaliatory claims.
  • Reports may stem from minor disagreements, not performance patterns.
  • Revenue loss, higher deadhead, and reputation damage follow fast.

How to Respond to a FreightGuard Report

Move quickly, document thoroughly, and escalate in writing.

  • Post a concise, factual rebuttal on Carrier411 (no emotion, cite records).
  • Ask the reporting broker for removal after issues are resolved.
  • Preserve evidence: emails, ELD/GPS, time-stamped photos, POD/BOL.
  • Email [email protected] with a formal dispute; CC [email protected].
  • Consider support from OOIDA / counsel in retaliation or defamation cases.
