Data Syndication - for TMS and 3PL Platforms
Add verified carrier data to your platform. Without building it yourself.
FreightForge gives TMS providers and enterprise 3PLs a REST API to embed a 30,000+ verified carrier dataset complete with fraud scores, FMCSA cross-validation, lane data, and real-time compliance monitoring, directly into their existing platform infrastructure.
Rest API - Carrier Lookup
A single endpoint returns a fully verified carrier profile
Integration Use Cases
Three ways TMS platforms and 3PLs use FreightForge data.
The API is purpose-built for platforms that need verified carrier data inside their existing product, not as a separate tool their users have to leave the platform to access.
Carrier panel management inside your TMS
Pull carrier profiles, risk scores, and compliance status directly into your TMS carrier management module. Your users vet and onboard carriers without leaving your platform. FreightForge runs verification in the background via API.
Real-time compliance monitoring
Subscribe to webhook events for any carrier in your system. When a carrier's authority lapses, insurance expires, or risk score changes, your platform receives an immediate payload, so your users are alerted before they tender a load to a non-compliant carrier.
White-label carrier onboarding
Embed FreightForge's FMCSA auto-populate onboarding flow inside your platform under your own brand. Carriers see your UI. FreightForge runs the FMCSA lookup, fraud screening and data structuring behind it. Your product gets the feature - you don't build it.
API Endpoints
Everything you need to build a carrier data integration.
The FreightForge REST API is versioned, JSON-first, and authenticated via OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens. All endpoints return standardized carrier profile objects with consistent field naming across calls.

What's in the Data
64 fields per carrier. Sourced, scored, and structured for platform integration.
Every carrier profile is built from three authoritative sources: FMCSA federal data pulled in real time, FreightForge's 3-layer verification system and carrier-submitted lane and equipment preferences. All fields are consistently named and typed across API responses.

Unlike fragmented carrier data vendors that sell field access separately, FreightForge API access at the Partner tier returns the complete 64-field profile on every call. You build once against a consistent schema; you don’t renegotiate field access as your integration grows.

Partner Types
Three integration paths. Pick the one that fits your platform.
TMS Providers
Embed verified carrier data in your carrier management module
Add FMCSA verification, risk scoring, and compliance monitoring to your TMS carrier panel without building the data infrastructure. White-label onboarding flow available — carriers register inside your TMS, FreightForge runs verification behind the scenes.
TMS partnership detailsEnterprise 3PLs
Automate carrier compliance monitoring at scale
Pull your entire carrier panel through the bulk lookup endpoint, establish webhook subscriptions for compliance events, and receive real-time alerts when any carrier's status changes without a dedicated compliance team to monitor it manually.

Add carrier intelligence to a new freight product
Building a freight rate engine, load matching platform, or carrier relationship tool? FreightForge's carrier data layer gives you the verified, fraud-scored carrier dataset to build on, so you don't spend your roadmap building what we've already built.

Integration Questions
What TMS teams ask before committing to an integration.
How long does a typical TMS integration take to build?
Most integrations are live within 2–4 weeks. The carrier lookup and compliance monitoring endpoints are straightforward REST calls. The bulk of the build time is UI work on your side, not API complexity. We provide a sandbox environment with test profiles so you can build and test before touching production data.
Can FreightForge's onboarding flow run under our brand?
Yes - white-label onboarding is available on the TMS Partner plan. Carriers complete registration inside your TMS under your brand. FreightForge handles the FMCSA lookup, fraud screening, and profile creation in the background. Your customers never see "powered by FreightForge" unless you want them to.
What happens if FMCSA data is temporarily unavailable?
FreightForge maintains a cached dataset that serves API requests even during FMCSA API downtime. Cache age is returned in the response header so you know the freshness of each field. For compliance-critical operations, we recommend webhook subscriptions rather than polling. You're alerted on changes rather than depending on real-time lookups.
Is there a separate charge for webhook events?
No - webhook delivery is included in both the 3PL Access and TMS Partner tiers. You subscribe to the event types you want. We deliver the payload to your endpoint on every qualifying event.
