Free listing, checked against your MC number. 14 days of Hopelight Quote included.

Shippers on the Hopelight Network describe a load once. If it runs on your lanes and equipment, it lands in your Hopelight queue already priced with your own margin rules, and you answer in one click. The shipper compares offers and books directly with the broker they choose.

What you get for free

  • A verified directory profile: your lanes, equipment, contact details and MC number, checked against the FMCSA register.
  • Shipper requests on your lanes, routed by state and equipment.
  • Three answers a month on the free listing, forever, after a 14-day trial of the full Hopelight Quote product.

How answering works

  1. A request arrives in your queue as a priced quote: lane, equipment, dates, weight, and your price from your rules and market data.
  2. Adjust the rate if you want, add a short note, and send.
  3. The shipper sees your offer next to the others. You never see competitors' prices, and they never see yours.
  4. When the shipper accepts, the quote is marked won in your dashboard, so your win rate and pricing model stay accurate.

No commission on loads

Hopelight takes no cut of the freight. Paid Hopelight Quote plans answer every network request, and add AI quoting for your email inbox, lane analytics, return-trip finder and win-chance pricing.

Built to keep fraud out

Requests with risk signals are reviewed before they reach brokers, links are blocked in messages, and unusual offers are flagged. That keeps the network useful for real shippers and real brokers.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost anything to list my brokerage?

No. The listing is free, with three network answers a month after your 14-day trial. Paid plans answer every request.

How is my MC number verified?

We check your MC number and broker authority on the FMCSA register before your profile shows as verified.

Do you take a commission on loads?

No. Hopelight is software, not a broker, and takes no cut of the freight.

Can other brokers see my offer?

No. Only the shipper who asked sees offers, side by side.
