About Trustd

What is Trustd?

Trustd is the industry standard digital identity verification tool for the freight and transport industry.


How does Trustd work?

Businesses secure their supply networks by inviting drivers and subcontractors to Trustd via an individual sign-up link which allows them to create a profile, upload their documents and have their credentials checked within minutes. Trustd automates checks on driving licenses, company documents and directors’ details as well as vehicle and MOT information to ensure all data is accurate and validated. Once users are approved, Trustd proactively monitors compliance docs, and automates reminders to drivers and subcontractors about expiry dates so that you can be sure that everyone remains compliant for the duration of their contract.


Why should my organisation get Trustd?

Onboarding new suppliers has historically been a long-winded, arduous, and mostly manual process which can lead to delays, human error and drivers slipping into non-compliance. Trustd does all the hard work, by gathering and monitoring all compliance documents, providing you with peace of mind that your drivers and subcontractors are compliant for the duration of their contract with your organisation.


Why should I get Trustd as a driver?

Buyers need to know that those carrying their loads are appropriately licenced and insured, as well as being careful and diligent drivers. Save on time and hit the road sooner by eliminating the need to email or deliver copies of your documents to compliance teams by simply sharing your Trustd profile and compliance status. Manage your profile and stay current with reminders of expiring documents. Maximise your chances of landing the best loads by committing to the highest level of professional standards through Trustd verification.


Can Trustd help me to secure my transport network?

Yes! Build your own Trustd network by creating a business account and setting your own compliance parameters. Then simply invite your suppliers and rest assured that your entire transport network adheres to the same compliance standards that you do.


What do I need to do to be Trustd?

Once you’re invited to a Trustd network you simply follow the guided onboarding process which can be completed in under 10 minutes and await your Trustd verification.


How much does it cost?

Drivers are invited to join Trustd networks completely free and will have the option to opt in to upgrade their Trustd status with enhanced compliance checks.

Businesses can secure their transport networks by verifying and proactively monitoring their supplier’s compliance status for a small monthly fee. Fees are dependent on the size of the network and levels of compliance and monitoring required.

Businesses who have been invited to Trustd via other businesses like Transport Exchange Group will have their fee covered by their inviting business.


Can I manage our own drivers and subcontractors using Trustd?

Yes! Build your own Trustd network by creating a business account and setting your own compliance parameters. Then simply invite your suppliers and rest assured that your entire transport network adheres to the same compliance standards that you do. Contact us to find out more.
