Highway has expanded its TFX platform with Lane Intelligence, a new capacity sourcing feature designed to help freight brokers identify carriers based on verified lane history and real-time availability. The tool addresses a long-standing issue in carrier search where results are often based on location patterns rather than actual delivery data or active capacity postings. By integrating verified pickup and delivery information, Lane Intelligence aims to ensure that brokers can make more informed sourcing decisions.

The platform utilizes three specific capacity indicators to rank carrier results. "Trucks Nearby" displays a verified truck near the load's origin in real time, while "Posted Truck" indicates carriers actively advertising available equipment on the specific lane. The third indicator, "Lane History," reveals how many times a carrier has successfully picked up and delivered on that lane within the past 120 days. These metrics are weighted according to the load's pickup timing, prioritizing current availability for immediate loads and proven history for future pickups.

"Brokers have been making sourcing decisions with incomplete information. Lane Intelligence puts verified lane data, real time availability and identity verification into one search, so the first call is the right call," said Mark Ford, Chief Capacity Officer at Highway. He emphasized that the feature is built on the largest carrier identity dataset in the freight industry.

Every carrier presented in Lane Intelligence results must pass three layers of Carrier Identity verification. This process confirms identity documents, ELD data, cargo insurance, and service area before a carrier appears in search results. This verification standard previously earned Highway recognition as a 2026 Fraud Fighters Award winner in the Solution Providers category from FreightWaves.

"Most tools hand brokers a list and let them sort it out. Lane Intelligence does the work before the list appears," said Michael Caney, Chief Commercial Officer at Highway. He noted that the carriers rising to the top of the results do so based on data analysis rather than arbitrary location signals.

Lane Intelligence is now available to TFX customers and connects directly to Offer Manager. This integration allows brokers to search, evaluate, and book carriers within a single workflow.
