We're North Carolina's First Highway Certified Insurance Agency
Highway certification means the insurance data behind your carrier profile meets the highest standard on the platform that supports more than 80% of brokered loads in the United States — and brokers can see it.
If you haul freight for brokers, your carrier profile has already been through Highway — whether you knew it or not.
Highway is the technology provider that freight brokers use for Carrier Identity® solutions. Before a broker tenders you a load, they're checking who you are, whether your authority is clean, and whether your insurance is real, current, and covers the truck that's actually going to pull the trailer. Highway automates that check. More than 1,300 brokers and 175,000+ carriers run through the platform, covering the vast majority of brokered freight in the country.
Here's the problem it was built to solve. Freight fraud has gotten sophisticated. Bad actors exploit the seams between brokers, carriers, and insurance agencies — a certificate of insurance that was accurate three weeks ago and isn't anymore, a scheduled auto policy that lists four VINs when the carrier runs eleven, a cancellation nobody bothered to report. Until recently, there were no shared rules governing the agencies that supply that data in the first place.
The Highway Certified Network changes that. It sets standards for the insurance agencies whose data feeds broker decisions — and it makes those agencies accountable for what they submit.
What Certification Actually Requires of Us
Certification isn't a logo we bought. It's a set of obligations we took on, and they're enforceable. Highway can revoke certification, and if they do, the badge comes off this page within 30 days.
Authorization and Certificate Holder
Authorization and Certificate Holder
Highway is named as the certificate holder on every COI we issue. Any certificate that doesn't name them gets rejected — no exceptions, no workarounds, no "we'll fix it next renewal."
Coverage Completeness
Coverage Completeness
Every COI we submit accurately reflects your active coverage, including complete VIN-level detail on every scheduled auto policy. No partial schedules. If you add a truck, it's on the schedule before it moves freight.
Ongoing Policy Communication
Ongoing Policy Communication
If your policy is cancelled, non-renewed, or changed in a way that affects coverage, Highway is notified promptly. That's a commitment we make about your policy, on your behalf, whether the news is convenient or not.
What This Means for Your Trucks
Brokers can see it
When a broker pulls up your carrier profile on Highway, they can see that your insurance comes through a Certified Insurance Agency. That's a trust signal attached to your name, on the platform where load decisions get made.
Approvals move faster
Complete, verified insurance data means fewer follow-up requests, fewer holds while somebody chases down a missing VIN, and fewer loads that go to the next carrier while you're sorting out paperwork.
You're better positioned when brokers are choosing
When two carriers are equally qualified, the one whose data a broker doesn't have to second-guess is the easier yes. Certification doesn't guarantee you the load. It removes a reason to pass you over.
Your COI stops being a fire drill
No more scrambling for a certificate at 6 a.m. because a broker's system kicked back your file. The data is already right, already there, already current.
Why We Pursued It
WeatherBee's has been writing commercial trucking insurance in North Carolina long enough to see fraud worsen and the industry's response remain mostly rhetorical. Everyone agrees COI accuracy matters. Very few agencies were willing to be held to it.
We were the first agency headquartered in North Carolina to complete Highway's certification because our trucking clients compete on a platform where verified data is now a real advantage — and we'd rather hand them that advantage than explain later why we didn't.
We're a local agency. We know the lanes, we know the terminals, and we answer the phone. Certification occurs when a local agency chooses to be held to a national standard.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQs
Q Does this cost me anything as a carrier?
A
No. Certification is a commitment our agency made to Highway. There is no fee, no enrollment, and no additional paperwork for you. If you're insured through WeatherBee's for your trucking operation, your carrier profile already reflects it.
Q Do I have to be a Highway user to benefit?
A
No. Highway is broker-facing software. You don't log into it — brokers do. What matters is what they see when they pull up your profile, and certification changes that.
Q Will this get me more loads?
A
It positions you to win more. Certification removes friction from the broker's hiring process and gives them a reason to trust your data at a glance. It doesn't override your safety score, your authority, or your service history. It stacks on top of them.
Q Does certification apply to my other policies?
A
Highway certification covers motor carrier insurance data — the COIs, coverage detail, and policy updates that flow to brokers. If WeatherBee's writes your general liability, workers' comp, or property coverage for a non-trucking business, that coverage is unaffected by this program. We'd never suggest otherwise.
Q What happens if WeatherBee's loses certification?
A
The badge comes off within 30 days and your carrier profile reverts to standard treatment on the platform. Your policies and coverage are unaffected. We don't intend to find out how that feels.
Q Are you really the first in North Carolina?
A
WeatherBee's is the first agency headquartered in North Carolina to be approved as a Highway Certified Insurance Agency. Nationwide agencies with offices here may hold the designation through another location.
