# Cipher & Row for Carriers

> Free verified profile. Visible to every dispatcher and broker on the platform. Build trust without paying a dime.

## What you get

- **A verified carrier profile.** Pulled from FMCSA (US) or CVOR / CTQ / NSC (Canada). Insurance, authority, safety rating, fleet size, years operating.
- **A trust score.** Six tiers from cold-start to Verified Elite. Computed from your FMCSA history and your CR transaction history.
- **Trust links from dispatchers.** Drivers tap a text message link, see the load, upload the signed BOL with their phone camera, report detention. No app to install. No password to remember.
- **Visibility to dispatchers and brokers.** Dispatchers searching for capacity in your lane will find your verified profile.
- **Free forever.** No credit card. No trial. No upgrade path that pulls features away.

## Why it's free

Carriers are the supply side of freight. We need verified trucks in the system to make CR valuable to dispatchers and brokers. Charging carriers would block supply growth. So we don't.

The dispatchers and brokers who pay subsidize your free profile. That's the deal.

## Sign up as a carrier

1. Go to https://www.cipherandrow.com/carriers/signup
2. Enter your MC, DOT, or CVOR number — we'll pull your authority info automatically.
3. Confirm a few details, claim your profile.
4. You're in. Dispatchers and brokers can now find your verified profile.

## What we ask for

- A real DOT, MC, or CVOR / CTQ number we can verify against the public registry.
- Insurance details (we cross-check against your COI).
- An email and phone number so dispatchers can reach you.

We **don't** ask for SSN, banking, or payment info. You're a free user.

## What dispatchers see when they look you up

- Your authority status (active, inactive, revoked)
- Insurance coverage and expiry
- Safety rating
- Fleet size and operating since
- Trust score (CR-computed)
- Any double-brokering or fraud signals (none, hopefully)

You can see your own profile and trust score for free at any time.
