Your Contracts
Are Leaking
Six Figures.
Clause parses freight agreements, carrier addendums, and rate confirmations — flagging undefined terms, conflicting clauses, and liability gaps before they become courtroom exhibits. No legal degree required.
Manual vs. Clause Engine
Every row below is a real failure mode. Every right column is the resolution. Scroll until the verdict feels inevitable.
Email thread archaeology
BCR_v8_FINAL_FINAL_use_this_one.pdf · Last opened 3 months ago · Carrier has a different copy
Immutable version ledger
Every amendment, addendum, and rate change timestamped and linked. Carrier and broker always on the same version — enforced, not assumed.
Manual read-through (if it happens)
"Reasonable efforts" · "Best endeavors" · "Commercially reasonable" — three phrases that mean nothing in a courtroom and appear in 74% of freight agreements
Clause-level liability mapping
Every ambiguous term flagged with jurisdiction-specific enforceability score. "Reasonable efforts" gets replaced with measurable SLA language automatically.
Calendar reminder (maybe)
Carrier insurance lapsed Feb 14. You found out March 2 — 16 days of $200K+ freight moved under an expired policy. Claims denied.
Automated renewal intelligence
90-day, 30-day, and 7-day alerts with renegotiation recommendations based on current market rates. Insurance cert expiry monitored in real time.
FMCSA lookup · once · at onboarding
3PLs named as defendants in negligent selection lawsuits at record rates. Most carriers are checked once and never re-verified. Authority revocations happen mid-contract.
Continuous compliance monitoring
FMCSA authority, insurance certificates, and safety ratings checked against every active contract on a rolling 72-hour cycle. Revocation triggers instant hold.
Reconstruct from inbox and memory
Load tender sent via email · Rate confirmation in a different system · Amendment scanned to a shared drive folder no one can find · Opposing counsel gets there first.
Dispute-ready documentation chain
Every load tender, rate confirmation, amendment, and communication timestamped and cryptographically linked to the master contract. Export a court-ready exhibit in 90 seconds.
Rate confirmation vs. master agreement mismatch
Broker sends $1.00/lb confirmation. Master agreement caps at $0.10/lb per Addendum B. Carrier invoices at $1.00. Dispute. Legal. Choose your fighter.
Cross-document rate reconciliation
Every rate confirmation validated against master agreement and all active addenda at upload. Conflicts surfaced before the load moves — not after the invoice.
Legal counsel reviews it when things go wrong
"To the fullest extent permitted by law" is unenforceable in 9 states. Shipping company attorneys draft indemnification clauses that transfer all liability to the broker — and brokers sign them.
Jurisdiction-aware indemnification scoring
Every indemnification clause scored against the governing law jurisdiction. Unenforceable language flagged and replaced with enforceable alternatives before execution.
Verdict: The manual process is a liability. Clause is the resolution.

"Most motor carriers carry $1M in auto liability.
The average litigation rate is $3M per fatality.
Your contract is the only thing between them."
