Signed by Carso. Recorded on the Exchange.
In plain terms: after the Supreme Court's Montgomery decision,
a broker can be sued when a carrier they hired causes harm.
This is the document that proves you vetted.
The Certified Diligence Report (CDR™):
a sourced, signed, per-carrier investigation
that answers the question every counterparty now asks —
show me how you vetted this carrier.
See how Super Ego lives on — in the sample report.
A bad record can hide beneath a new name.
The registry won't tell you. The record will.
This is a real CDR, produced by our investigation pipeline on 2026-07-26.
The subject: Gray Falcon United LLC —
USDOT 3288433, active and bonded in Downers Grove, Illinois.
Run it through any ordinary check, and it passes.
Here is what each view shows.
ACTIVE broker of property. Surety bond on file since 2019 — never lapsed. No out-of-service order. No safety rating issues. No former name shown anywhere on the record. Every box a routine vetting checklist asks about: green.
The same authority operated until recently as Super Ego Logistics LLC — part of the Super Ego network that 60 Minutes covered in April 2026, the subject of a publicly acknowledged FMCSA investigation and an active federal class action. The current name carries no public trace of that lineage. Our report documents the connection, source by source.
Every finding carries its source and retrieval date.
Allegations stay attributed.
The company's denial is printed with equal prominence.
The report says plainly what we could not verify.
And the PDF in your file is the portable copy of a record we keep — like a deed:
signed by Carso, recorded on the Exchange —
provable against the record, years later, in front of anyone.
Since the Supreme Court's unanimous Montgomery decision (May 2026),
brokers can be sued in state court for negligent carrier selection.
Underwriter, shipper, courtroom —
at renewal, at RFP, in discovery —
all ask for the same artifact:
your documented vetting of this carrier.
Locked in perpetuity and verifiable on
TheCarso Exchange
The criteria insurers publish for broker programs,
mapped line-for-line to the report you keep on file.
A score feed proves you knew.
The CDR is the record that you acted.
| Your counterparty asks for | The CDR delivers |
|---|---|
| Verified carrier authority & operating status (FMCSA) | Live SAFER + QCMobile official-API check, dated the day the report is built |
| Review of safety scores and out-of-service rates | Inspection-by-inspection record scored against national OOS baselines, from a 5.7M-inspection corpus |
| A documented carrier vetting process | The report itself — same format, same phases, every carrier |
| Consistent application of standards | Standing per-carrier reports in one format = provable consistency |
| Governance for exceptions and escalations | Hard-stop gates, weighted signals, and calibrated verdict bands — printed in every report |
| Litigation-ready record retention | Sourced, dated, hashed, Ed25519-signed — and disputable by the carrier with proof |
We have not found another signed, per-carrier investigative artifact sold this way —
per report, no subscription.
That's the deliverable your counterparties are asking for.
A vetting report is true the day it is written.
Carriers change after you book them.
When it launches, Monitor will re-check every carrier in your book against live federal records,
every day, and tell you what changed — with the evidence attached.
That last one is the part nobody else does.
A monitoring feed tells you a carrier went dark.
It does not tell you the same operation is back next month
under a new DOT number, quoting your desk again.
Motive and timing are exactly what the federal factors ask about —
so when the motive appears, the hunt runs automatically,
and you get the overlap, the dates, and the sources.
Every alert is a sourced fact, not a score:
what changed, when, old value, new value, where we saw it.
Linkage findings are reported as linkage — consistent with reincarnation factors,
never as a verdict — and any company we name can answer with proof.
Signed by Carso.
Recorded on the Exchange.
Monitor is coming soon, included with Diligence Pro and Diligence Verified.
It is not sold separately — the watch only means something
when there is a sourced report underneath it.
Not every carrier needs watching every day.
You set the cadence per carrier — and pay by how often we look.
| Cadence | For | Pro | Enterprise | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | new or high-risk counterparties | 5 | 25 | $10/mo |
| Weekly or biweekly | active onboarding, watchlisted | 10 | 50 | $5 / $3 |
| Monthly default | your standard book | 25 | 150 | $2/mo |
| Quarterly | established partners | 50 | 300 | 50¢/mo |
| Annual | trusted, low-volume relationships | 250 | 2,000 | free |
Move a carrier up the moment something changes — a warning event is reason enough to put a name on daily until you are satisfied. Annual watches are free because the point is that nothing in your book ever goes unwatched.
A PDF can be edited by anyone with the right software.
A date changed, a finding softened, a verdict flipped —
and the file still looks perfectly ordinary.
That is a real problem for a document whose whole job
is to be believed years later, by people who were not there.
This is forensic integrity, in the evidentiary sense:
the copy in your file can be tested against the record
and shown to be the same document we issued, unaltered,
on the date we issued it.
Run the check yourself — one command on your own machine:
shasum -a 256 your-report.pdf
and compare it to the fingerprint on the verify page.
If the two match, the document is untouched.
If someone altered it, they will not.
Three depths of investigation.
Every one is sourced, calibrated, and signed — verifiable against the record on TheCarso Exchange for as long as you keep it.
A full investigation of one carrier — entity legitimacy plus claimant identity, OSINT-sourced, with a plain verdict you keep on file.
Order — $325 →For six-figure loads and carriers that don't add up. Expanded OSINT and a full chameleon-carrier hunt, moved to the front of the line — the highest-confidence verdict we produce.
Order — $525 →Our deepest investigation, built as an evidentiary artifact: complete source registry, a retrieval timestamp behind every finding, and a signed hash chain that shows the document has not been altered since the day it was issued.
Order — $2,500 →Litigation add-ons — Rush turnaround, 24–48 hours: $4,000 (order rush) · Expert declaration: $6,000 (add declaration), available where your counsel requests one. Carso documents what the evidence shows; it does not act as your defense.

Each Carso Diligence report is an evidence-of-diligence document — OSINT-sourced, calibrated, and explicit about what could and couldn't be verified. It is informational and probabilistic; you retain the final selection decision. Investigations concern the carrier entity (DOT/MC); individuals appear only as linkage evidence with stated confidence. Carso complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) where applicable. Keep the report on file as documentation of the diligence you performed — your copy stays signed and verifiable against the record on TheCarso Exchange, around the clock.
