Welcome to The Bannon Report
The Bannon Report (TBR) helps freight brokers, shippers, and carriers make faster, safer counterparty decisions. You look up a motor carrier or a broker, we pull together the public safety, authority, and credit data on file, and we present it as a single, color-coded report you can read in seconds.
Who it's for
- Brokers vetting a carrier before tendering a load.
- Carriers vetting a broker before accepting one.
- Shippers confirming that a partner is in good standing.
- Risk and compliance teams monitoring counterparties they already use.
What you can vet
TBR works in both directions:
- Vet a carrier. Pull up safety, authority, insurance, and equipment signals on any motor carrier before you book the load.
- Vet a broker. Check authority, history, and reputation signals on the broker offering the load, so you know who you're hauling for before you turn a wheel.
How to read a report
Every report has three parts:
- The grade. A single color (Green, Yellow, Orange, or Red) at the top of the report. It's a summary judgement, not the whole story.
- The sections. A breakdown of the underlying signals: DOT status, operating authority, inspection history, out-of-service rates, equipment, insurance, and more. Each section tells you something specific about the counterparty.
- The flags. Short callouts when something stands out, good or bad. A brand-new authority, a lapse in insurance, equipment shared with other carriers.
Where to go next
- How to search. Finding the right carrier or broker.
