Vet a broker before you call — without leaving the load board.
LaneScout is a Chrome extension that overlays factual, FMCSA-derived risk signals on the DAT One load board. See at a glance which postings are worth a second look, so you spend your calls on real freight.

What you see
A neutral risk tier on every broker row — never an accusation, always a verifiable fact.
● Clear
● Caution
● High Risk
Authority age
How recently the MC authority was granted or reinstated.
Contact checks
Posting phone/email vs. the broker’s FMCSA record.
Recent record changes
Address, phone, or email changed on the FMCSA file.
Clustering
One address or contact shared across many MC numbers.
Bond & census
Bond status, and MCs not found in the broker census.
Look-alike domains
Booking emails hidden in the load comments that don’t match the broker.
How it works
- Reads the page in your browser and places the badge inline — no extra tabs, no copy-paste.
- Only the broker identifier (company name / phone / email / MC#) is sent for the risk lookup.
- Never stores or resends the load data on your screen — rates, lanes, and postings stay on DAT.
- Fails quiet: if a lookup can’t complete, it shows nothing and never slows the board down.
- Free to use. Sign in (free) to unlock the full broker dossier and report an impersonation contact.
