DIBS Freight OS

A brokerage operating system that decides and proves what happened: who the carrier really is, what the load is worth, where the freight is, and what to do when the network breaks.

Carrier trust and risk scoring

A single 0–100 score composed from positive and negative factors, recomputed on every material event.

Carrier Score = Operational Reliability
              + Compliance Integrity
              + Identity Confidence
              + Financial Reliability
              – Fraud Penalty
              – Concentration Penalty
              – Current Exposure Penalty

Hard blocks bypass the score entirely: inactive authority, expired insurance, double-brokering, impersonation, forgery, cargo theft, or a sanctions match.

Band	Range	Effect
Preferred	85 – 100	Full tender eligibility, highest exposure ceiling
Approved	70 – 84	Standard tender eligibility
Conditional	55 – 69	Tender with additional verification
Restricted	40 – 54	Manual approval required per load
Suspended	1 – 39	No new tenders
Hard Block	0	Blocked outright — authority, fraud or sanctions trigger

Load lifecycle

Fifteen states from draft to closed. Every transition is authorised, timestamped and hash-chained into the audit ledger.

Draft

Customer approved
Carrier sourcing

Approved for settlement

Tender controls

Authority active and insurance meets requirements.
Equipment matches cargo; HOS and geography are feasible.
Risk score at or above threshold with no hard block.
Payment instructions verified against the carrier of record.
Exposure limits respected at carrier and concentration level.

Carrier pay ceiling

Ceiling = Base Lane Rate
        + Scarcity Premium
        + Urgency Premium
        + Reliability Discount
        – Fraud / Risk Discount
        – Required Margin Buffer

Tracking, evidence and fraud graph

Multi-source telemetry normalised into one event standard, then bound into a tamper-evident ledger.

Sources

ELD, GPS and IoT (temperature, humidity, shock).
AIS vessel data, port/terminal and rail APIs.
Weather, DOT and traffic feeds.
Driver app and voice agent commitments.

Event standard

{ eventId, shipmentId,
  eventType, occurredAt,
  source, confidence,
  payload, evidenceHash }

Hₙ = SHA256(Hₙ₋₁ ‖ Payloadₙ)

High-risk patterns

Multiple carriers sharing one payment account.
Rapid banking changes immediately before settlement.
Reused insurance documents across entities.
Shared devices or IPs across suspicious entities.
Freight moved by an undeclared carrier; custody gaps.

Emergency recovery and the shadow network

Seven operating states, an alternate physical network, and priority allocation that puts life-safety freight ahead of everything else.

01Normal
Baseline operations; standard routing and tender controls apply.
02Watch
Signal thresholds breached; monitoring elevated, no reroute yet.
03Pre-emptive diversion
Routes re-scored ahead of impact; shadow capacity put on standby.
04Recovery mode
Shadow network activated, priority tiers allocated, campaigns launched.
05Degraded network mode
Reduced capacity operating plan; deferrable freight held.
06Manual command mode
Human commander owns allocation; automation advisory only.
07Return to baseline
Controlled unwind of overrides with full reconciliation of exposure.

Priority allocation

Tier 0 — life-safety: immediate override.
Tier 1 — perishables and critical: automated recovery.
Tier 2 — high value: best available capacity.
Tier 3 — standard: queue and consolidate.
Tier 4 — deferrable: hold.

Edge dispatch authority

Edge nodes keep active manifests, shadow routes, approved carriers and local policy so dispatch survives a central outage for 24–72 hours.

Action at the edge	Autonomous
Pre-approved reroute	Yes
Shadow-carrier retender below cap	Yes
Emergency rate increase below cap	Yes
International diversion	Conditional
Air charter	No — human approval
Bank or payment change	No
Hard-block override	No
High-value custody exception	No
