On Tuesday, September 22, meshVI founder and CEO Andy Sharpe joined FreightWaves TODAY to talk about a problem every broker, shipper, and retail insurance agency already feels: a certificate of insurance is a snapshot, not live coverage on the VIN and driver moving today’s load.

“You’ve got a best-by date. Well, how do you know the milk didn’t spoil yesterday by the time you go to drink it or use it?”
— Andy Sharpe on FreightWaves TODAY
A certificate of insurance works the same way. The date on the PDF is not proof the VIN and driver are covered when today’s load moves.
That is the gap meshVerified is built for. Retail insurance agencies already sit on the system of record for schedules, drivers, and certificates. Brokers and shippers are dispatching a VIN and a driver, not a company on paper, so they need that same truth in time for the load, not a PDF treated like a continuous monitor. Monitoring platforms and RMIS workflows still matter. meshVI is here to enable them with live agency-sourced VIN and driver coverage data, not to replace Highway, RMIS, or the rest of the stack.
Retail insurance agencies: get up to four motor carriers live on meshVerified Lite at no cost via the agency billing page, or go straight to app.meshVerified.com.
