![]() LongMile Launches Carrier-Vetting Platform to Help Brokers Document Due Diligence After Montgomery DecisionPlatform helps freight brokers, auto transport brokers, and transportation intermediaries verify carrier records and preserve timestamped evidence of pre-dispatch checks
By: LongMile The platform arrives as brokers reexamine carrier-selection practices after the U.S. Supreme Court's May 14, 2026 decision in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC. In that case, the Court held that a state-law negligent-hiring claim against a freight broker was not preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act because it fell within the statute's safety exception. The decision does not create a new federal vetting checklist, but it puts more emphasis on evidence that a broker acted reasonably before dispatch. LongMile helps brokers review core carrier records, including operating authority, insurance, safety rating, out-of-service history, crash history, FMCSA and SAFER data, reputation signals, insurance and bond records where applicable, and related risk indicators. Each check automatically creates a timestamped due-diligence report showing what was checked, when it was checked, and what was found.
By replacing scattered checks with a repeatable workflow, LongMile helps brokerages make faster carrier-selection decisions and maintain consistent documentation across teams. The platform also supports checks for related identities and chameleon-carrier indicators that may not be obvious from a single public lookup. LongMile is available at longmile.io. ### About LongMile LongMile is a carrier-vetting and due-diligence documentation platform for freight brokers, auto transport brokers, and transportation intermediaries.
