ClearCorridor connects Cargo Principals with screened, scored Carriers whose insurance standing is declared and recorded, and binds every engagement in a contract-grade record, from posted load to verified proof of delivery. The platform administers compliance and documentation; freight money moves directly between you and your counterpart, never through us.
Cargo Principals and Carriers alike are screened at admission and on a recurring basis. Carriers additionally carry a continuously maintained standing built on their documents, fleet, drivers, declared insurance and liability cap.
Acceptance of a bid issues a Carrier Engagement Confirmation: a binding transport contract on standard terms both sides accepted in advance, with the vehicle, driver, insurance and payment terms recorded on its face.
Carriers invoice Cargo Principals directly and are paid directly, in the currency of the bid. ClearCorridor charges its own platform fees separately and transparently. It never holds, collects or intermediates freight funds.
Regulators, boards, shareholders, lenders, insurers and trade counterparties now expect demonstrable supplier due diligence on every movement of goods, and expect it documented. Meeting that expectation has meant questionnaires, audits and KYC packs repeated for every relationship, on both sides of every load.
ClearCorridor moves that work into the platform. Cargo Principals procure from a standing panel whose screening, scoring and records are maintained continuously; the due diligence file assembles itself. Carriers complete one onboarding and one periodic reverification, instead of a separate compliance exercise for every client. After set-up, the work runs in the workflow.
Contracting is usually where freight slows down: terms traded back and forth, legal review on both sides, signature chasing — per client, per load. On ClearCorridor the agreements are pre-negotiated and accepted once, electronically, at activation. Every engagement then forms on those standard terms automatically. What remains between the parties is the commercial substance of the engagement: rate, payment tranches and operational requirements — captured in structured form on the bid and bound into the Carrier Engagement Confirmation.
The framework is designed for legal and compliance review once, not per engagement: published standard engagement terms, version-locked to each confirmation; compliance warranties that run directly in the Cargo Principal’s favour and are directly enforceable; electronic acceptance recorded with document version, timestamp and user identity; and a time-stamped record of every lifecycle event from posting to verified delivery. Nothing bespoke to mark up, and an audit trail that already answers the questions governance teams ask.
The Financial Action Task Force sets the global standard for anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing controls. It is the benchmark that regulators, banks and corporate governance frameworks recognise, and because it is neutral as to jurisdiction, it is the standard that holds wherever the parties and the cargo are based.
ClearCorridor anchors its screening on that framework. United Nations Security Council consolidated sanctions form the platform minimum. Directors, beneficial owners and trustees are disclosed and screened, and screening recurs on a set cycle, in every jurisdiction the platform reaches.
Every participant and its disclosed persons are screened against recognised watchlists, with further coverage of the EU, OFAC and OFSI regimes. The screening runs at onboarding and repeats automatically. Where a screen is unresolved, engagement is held until it clears. No participant carries this work itself.
Screening and scoring draw on recognised watchlists and on the information participants declare and warrant. The platform assembles and maintains the record. The decision to engage stays with the parties, taken on better information than they had before.
Carrier standing is published as one of four tiers:
No platform activity pending remediation.
Eligible only with explicit per-load approval.
Eligible under enhanced monitoring. Platform posting floor.
Fully eligible across declared routes and load types.
Admission asks for what any serious counterparty would: your company registration details, disclosure of directors and beneficial ownership, electronic acceptance of the platform agreements — and, for Carriers, your fleet, drivers and insurance details. You provide it once, in the portal.
From there the platform carries the workload: screening runs, standing is calculated, records are assembled and maintained, and renewal reminders arrive before anything lapses. Periodic reverification is completed in your portal in minutes — not re-papered from scratch.
Every participant you meet on the platform has been screened to the same standard you have. Admission is the point.
