Our yard

About 3 minutes from the Port of Wilmington gate, with room for 60+ containers.

Your receiver can't take the box before last free day? We pull it, park it at our yard at 56 J Caldwell Ln, New Castle, and deliver when your receiver is ready.

Your tracking link

See your load without calling anyone.

We run our own dispatch and tracking platform, so every load gets a tracking link. Open it on your phone or desktop and everything we know about the load is there as soon as we have it.

Example of a BASE Carriers tracking page: map with location updates every 10 minutes, estimated arrival, load details, BOL and POD links, and temperature and seal photos.

Example view with sample data.

Every 10 minutes

Where the truck is

When your receiver asks where the truck is, the answer is on the link. It updates every 10 minutes, with an arrival time worked out from where the truck really is.

As soon as we get them

BOL and POD, one tap

Need the POD to close out the load? The BOL, gate pass and POD show up as links as soon as we have them.

At pickup

Temperature and seal photos

If a receiver questions the temperature, you have the reefer reading and seal photo from pickup.

After delivery

Proof the empty went back

On container loads, a photo of the empty going back, so you don't have to chase it.

Why shippers stay

We fix the problems that cost you money.

Most of our customers send us the same lanes every week. Here is why.

Carrier vetting

No carrier touches your freight until it passes 8 checks.

Every carrier goes through our own vetting system before we book a load. Authority and insurance are checked against FMCSA, not taken on the carrier's word.

Example of BASE Carriers carrier vetting: eight certification checks and an automatic certificate of insurance verification

Example view with a sample carrier.

Authority

Checked live against FMCSA

Carrier and DOT authority active, not out of service, no pending insurance cancellation.

Insurance

COIs read, not just filed

A fake certificate of insurance can look real. So the COI has to come from the agent's own email domain, the insurer and named insured have to match the FMCSA filing, and BASE has to be the certificate holder.

Paperwork

Agreement before the first load

Signed broker-carrier agreement on file, auto and cargo policies tracked to expiration.

On request

Truck VIN verified

We match the VIN from the truck's ELD to the vehicles on the carrier's auto policy, so the truck at your dock is the one that's insured.

You will know who you are working with
BASE started with our own trucks in Delaware. In 2023 we turned it into a brokerage so we could cover more freight with carriers we trust, and we kept our yard near the port. I still take new customer calls myself, and I want you to know who to call when something needs fixing.
