Outstanding Receivables by Age
What this broker owed at each month end, grouped by how long it had been outstanding. Payment terms vary by broker, so an older range is not by itself a missed payment.
5% of the balance was aged past 30 days, down from 6% before it.

The two most recent months are still being reported and will rise. They typically show around a third and a half of their eventual totals at this point. A smaller balance in those months reflects data that is still arriving from the sources, not a decline. The figure above is measured over the settled months before them.
Payment Experiences (Past 24 Months)
Average days to pay is weighted by how recent each experience is, so a broker who slowed down last quarter does not keep the benefit of paying quickly two years ago.

SureLoadr is decision-support software. It is not a lender, a payment guarantee, a credit bureau, a collection agency, or a legal advisor, and nothing in this report is an instruction to accept or decline a load. Payment trends are an average across every experience reported to us, not a figure specific to your lane or your invoices. The underlying records come from federal sources and third-party contributors that SureLoadr does not control, and are provided as received — without warranty that they are complete, current, or free of error.
Always verify the broker’s identity on the rate confirmation before booking, and treat the rating as one input alongside your own checks.
As a condition of use, and as set out in the Terms of Service, you agree that every booking, credit and business decision you make is your own. SureLoadr is not responsible for those decisions and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, is not liable for any loss, unpaid freight charge, lost profit, or other damage — direct or indirect — arising from your use of this report or your reliance on it.
The rate confirmation tells you what a broker promises to pay. It tells you nothing about whether they will, or when. Most carriers find that out 45 days after delivery, with fuel and driver pay already out the door.
A SureLoadr report answers it before you accept. Four things, in plain language, and what matters as much as any one of them is which direction they have been moving over the last several months.
How long it takes
Log in, search by MC number, DOT number, or company name, and read the status, the score, and the payment history. You are done before you have finished reading the rate confirmation, which is the reason to run it on every load rather than only the ones that already feel wrong.
Some do deserve a longer look: a broker you have never hauled for, authority granted in the last six months, a rate well above market for the lane, a phone number or address that changed recently, or pressure to accept without a signed rate confirmation. Those are reasons to read the report closely, not reasons to skip it on everything else.
If the load is going the other direction and you are the one handing it off, the same habit applies to carrier vetting.
FAQ
A freight broker credit check is a review of how reliably a freight broker pays the carriers who haul for it. It combines payment history and days-to-pay with FMCSA authority status, surety bond status, and fraud red flags, so a carrier can judge payment risk before accepting a load rather than after the invoice goes past due.
Take the broker's MC or DOT number from the rate confirmation and look it up. A free MC number lookup confirms the authority is active and a bond is on file. A full freight broker credit report adds the parts that matter most — payment history, days-to-pay, credit score, and payment trend — in plain language.
Confirming a broker's authority and bond is free on SureLoadr with an MC number lookup. Full freight broker credit reports with payment history, days-to-pay, and scoring are $10 per report à la carte, or unlimited on a subscription from $49 per month with daily monitoring and alerts.
Read it as three things, not one number. The score gives you the risk band, days-to-pay tells you how long your money sits, and the payment trend says which direction both are moving — a decent score with worsening days-to-pay deserves more caution than the number alone suggests. Then weigh it against your own exposure: the same result can be fine on one load and too much on a fourth unpaid invoice with the same broker. For what each band means, see our guide to what a good freight broker credit score is.
Check any broker you have not hauled for before, every time. For regular partners, ongoing monitoring is better than repeat manual checks — broker payment behavior can change in weeks, and authority revocations and contact changes often happen shortly before a broker stops paying.
