Freight SideKick Authority & Compliance

Effective date: February 23, 2024

At Freight SideKick, transparency is a core value. We understand that when choosing a logistics provider, you want clear information about who you're contracting with and how your freight is handled. This page outlines our operating model and the compliance measures we take to ensure reliable and legal transportation services.

How Freight SideKick Operates

Freight SideKick operates as a non-exclusive agency, working through contracts with multiple logistics providers rather than under a single MC number. This structure allows us to aggregate capacity from top-performing partners so we can offer the best combination of service, equipment, pricing, and network reach for each customer's specific needs.

When you book with us, your account is placed with the most suitable provider in our network. This approach gives us a laser focus on customer service, backed by strong partnerships, while offering custom-built tools and technology to enhance the shipping process.

Our model enables us to:

  • Access a broad network of carriers
  • Provide specialized equipment and services
  • Offer competitive pricing options
  • Deliver enhanced customer service through dedicated partnerships
  • Leverage custom technology solutions

Who You're Contracting With

When you book a shipment through Freight SideKick:

  • Freight SideKick provides the web platform and other technology. We provide customer service and handle coordination, communication, and overall service management.
  • A vetted logistics partner transports your freight. We carefully select a provider that meets your specific requirements. Each provider holds the necessary operating authority to legally move freight and meets high standards for safety, reliability, and compliance.

Why We Don't List a Single MC Number

Traditional freight brokers operate under a single MC# to arrange shipments. Our model is different—we work as an agency with multiple logistics partners, each with their own MC# and DOT authority. This allows us to provide greater flexibility and access to better shipping solutions without being tied to one carrier or brokerage structure.

Transparency & Compliance

While we don't operate under a single MC#, we are committed to transparency. When you book with Freight SideKick, we can provide detailed information about the specific logistics partner handling your freight, including their operating authority and compliance credentials.

If you have any questions or need further details, our team is happy to provide clarity. Our goal is to simplify the freight shipping process while ensuring trust, reliability, and efficiency every step of the way.
