Transfix and Highway Partner to Give Freight Brokers Built-In Carrier Vetting and Fraud Protection Inside the Transfix TMS

Transfix, a leading transportation management system (TMS) provider for freight brokers and 3PLs, today announced a partnership with Highway, the leading provider of Carrier Identity® solutions for freight brokers, to embed Highway’s carrier vetting directly into the Transfix TMS. The integration is available now to all Transfix TMS customers.

With the integration, brokerage operations and compliance teams can verify carrier legitimacy, insurance status, and authority to operate without leaving the Transfix TMS workflow. Highway’s vetting runs automatically as carriers are sourced and onboarded, applying real-time fraud and compliance checks at the exact moment a load is being covered, when the risk of impersonation, double-brokering, and identity-based theft is highest.

The integration responds to a freight fraud landscape that has shifted significantly. Highway’s 2025 Freight Fraud Index documented nearly 2 million fraudulent email attempts and 8.5 million spoofed phone numbers blocked over the year, alongside an industry-wide pivot from impersonation-based schemes to direct, legitimate theft. For freight brokers using the Transfix TMS, native Highway vetting eliminates the tool-switching and manual checks that have historically slowed carrier onboarding and left gaps that bad actors can exploit.

“Freight fraud has escalated past the point where disconnected tools can keep up. When we built the Transfix TMS, we wanted compliance and carrier vetting as a default, not an add-on. Highway is the leader in carrier identity, and this integration puts that protection inside the workflow our customers already use to move every load,” said Jonathan Salama, Co-Founder and CEO of Transfix.

“Brokers shouldn’t have to choose between operating fast and staying safe. Embedding Highway directly into the Transfix TMS means every Transfix customer gets automated compliance and identity verification as a default, not as an extra step or another tool to manage. We are proud to partner with Transfix as they continue building more secure and accountable freight operations,” said Michael Caney, Chief Commercial Officer.
