Highway launched Highway Certified Insurance Agencies as a designation for insurance agencies that meet standards related to COI accuracy, vehicle coverage transparency at the VIN level, and timely policy change updates on the Highway platform. The effort is part of a broader framework, the Highway Certified Network, intended to set shared accountability and enforceable standards around data used for brokered freight carrier decisions.

In Highway’s description, freight brokers make carrier decisions based on data flowing through Highway, much of it sourced from third parties. Highway said the Highway Certified Network holds those sources accountable starting with a defined set of standards for insurance agencies, with requirements focused on the accuracy and timeliness of insurance documentation and related policy events.

Highway Certified Insurance Agencies commit to providing accurate and verifiable Certificates of Insurance (COIs). The program also includes VIN-level vehicle coverage transparency and timely updates on policy changes, cancellations, and non-renewals, tying agency designation to the completeness and freshness of the data. Highway framed the network as a way to address fragmented, unverified data inputs.

Highway said it launched the Highway Certified Network with 10 founding agencies: Cavallino Risk Management Inc.; ECBM; Howden; Marquee Insurance Group; Monarch Insurance Brokers Limited; OOIDA; Pullsure / Valley Trucking Insurance; Transtar Insurance Brokers; Truck Writers; and TrueNorth Companies. Highway described Highway Certified Insurance Agencies as the first phase of the Highway Certified Network, with future expansions planned to additional service providers in the brokered freight market.

Marshall Smith, Head of Load Compliance at Highway, said, “Freight has operated for too long in a world where critical decisions are made on fragmented, unverified data,” and added, “Trust is earned, verified, and enforced at the network level.” Michael Caney, Chief Commercial Officer at Highway, said, “Mature markets and exchanges have historically scaled when participants show up and align on shared standards.” He added, “That changes now.”
