Solo
The solo or new broker
Gmail, DAT, and a spreadsheet. No compliance person, so every carrier email is ten tabs and a knot in your stomach about double brokering.
A second pair of eyes on every email, and the reply already written.
The coverage workspace for freight brokers, inside Gmail
Every carrier email, vetted and answered in seconds.
HauLens keeps today's loads, every carrier quote and the FMCSA check in one place, beside your inbox. When a carrier writes, it already knows which load they mean, who they really are, and what to answer. You cover the load. It does the legwork.

Free during beta. Chrome extension, two minutes to set up.

What it is
One workspace for covering a load.
HauLens holds the loads you are covering, the quotes coming in on each one, and the FMCSA record of every carrier who writes. The reply is the last step, not the point. Four jobs, one place, no tabs.
- Your loadslanes, dates, rates, ref numbers
- The carrier's emailMC, lane, rate, where the truck is
- FMCSA recordsauthority, insurance, safety, fleet
- Your wordinga template for every kind of reply
HauLens
Reply readyvetted, matched, draftedabout 20 seconds
Every carrier email, the usual way
- Copy the MC number
- Open SAFER in another tab
- Check authority, then insurance
- Wonder if this sender is really them
- Find the load in your spreadsheet
- Type the pickup details again
- Send, then log the quote somewhere
Seven steps. Four tabs. Forty times a day.

The same email, with HauLens
- Open the email
- Read what HauLens found
- Click Reply, then Send
Three steps. No tabs. The quote is already on the load.
Your workspace
The board you work from all day.
Not another TMS. The loads you are covering today, every quote on its load, the carrier vetted beside it, and what is still open. It sits next to your inbox and matches itself to every email you open.
- In with one drop. A spreadsheet, a CSV, cells copied from Sheets, or pasted DAT postings. HauLens works out the columns and you confirm.
- Five postings on one lane? The ref number in the carrier's email picks the right one. The rest sit folded under it.
- Every quote lands on its load. Rate, truck location, and ETA are read from the email and saved in one click, then updated as the thread goes on.
- Covered means gone. Mark it and it leaves the board. Search brings it back when the lane repeats next week.
Who is it for?
Brokers who cover loads by email.
If carriers reach you in Gmail and your loads live in a spreadsheet, a load board, or a basic TMS, this was built for your desk.
Team
The brokerage team
Carrier sales reps on Google Workspace. Reps re-vet the same carriers, quotes live in heads and inboxes, and the owner cannot see what is covered.
One shared board. Every quote on its load. Everyone sees what is left.
Agent
The independent agent
You run your own book inside a larger network and pick your own tools. Every minute on a carrier email is a minute not spent on the next load.
Your own tool, set up in two minutes. No rollout, no IT ticket.
Nothing to migrate. Keep your TMS, keep DAT, keep Gmail.
How it works
One carrier email, from inbox to a quote on your load.
It is 9:02 on a Tuesday. This is the next half minute.
-
9:02 AM
A carrier answers your Dallas to Atlanta posting.
Mike at Pine Hollow Haulers says he can do it for $2,650. HauLens has already picked out his MC number and recognized the lane. Under his email sit three buttons that were not there before.
123- 1The MC number, lane, and rate are picked out of the email as it opens.
- 2Reply buttons for the load he means sit right under his message.
- 3His FMCSA record is already open beside the thread.
-
Still 9:02
Before you finish reading, you know who he is.
Authority active since 2021, $1,000K insurance on file, satisfactory rating, 12 trucks. The address he is writing from is the one FMCSA has on file, on a domain that is nine years old. Nothing to chase. You keep going.
123- 1The review in one line: no red flags found in the sources checked.
- 2Authority, insurance, safety, and fleet, straight from FMCSA.
- 3The sender is the address FMCSA has on file, on a nine year old domain.
-
9:03, sent
You click Reply. The email is already written.
The right load, your pickup window, your rate, in your wording. You change one line and hit send. His $2,650 is saved on the load, next to the other quotes.
123- 1The reply, drafted from your own template with this load filled in.
- 2The load it matched, so you can see it answered about the right one.
- 3One click saves his $2,650 on the load, next to the other quotes.
That was quick. On to the next one.

What it catches
The email looked fine. The carrier was not the one writing.
Double brokering and identity theft start with a convincing email. HauLens puts the evidence next to the message, and leaves the call to you.
- !Sender does not match the carrier on fileThe reply-to is not the address FMCSA has for this MC. This is the one that catches a stolen identity.
- !Look-alike domain, registered last monthThe name looks right, but the domain is 34 days old. The real one is nine years old.
- !Authority under a yearNew authority is not a crime. It is a reason to call the number on file.
- !Insurance below what is requiredOn file versus required, from the filings, with the insurer and policy date.
- !Not allowed to operateOut of service, with the date, before you send a rate confirmation.
And one last look before you hit send.If something is off, a bar appears under your reply. You can still send. It is your call.
Everything in it
And yes, it does the rest too.
None of these is a headline on its own. Together they are why covering a load stops feeling like seven jobs.

Who is writing
A good MC proves nothing if someone else is using it.
The sender checked against the FMCSA contact, the age of their domain, forwarded emails traced to the original sender, and a warning under your reply when something is off.

It reads the page you are looking at. Nothing more.
No mailbox permission, ever. Only the MC numbers you look up, the sender's domain, and the loads you enter reach our servers.
From the beta
What brokers say once they have tried it.
Feels like it was built specifically for the way I work. I can vet carriers quickly without jumping between multiple systems, and I only have to enter load details once. From there, every carrier inquiry is handled faster because all the information is already at my fingertips. It's saved me time, reduced repetitive work, and made my day-to-day operations much more efficient.

Questions
Straight answers.
What is HauLens?
HauLens is the coverage workspace for freight brokers, and it lives inside Gmail as a Chrome extension. It holds the loads you are covering, saves every carrier quote on its load, checks each carrier against FMCSA records and confirms the sender is really that carrier, and drafts your reply from the load they are asking about. Keep your TMS, keep DAT, keep Gmail: HauLens is the place they meet.
How do I install it?
Add HauLens from the Chrome Web Store, sign in with Google, and open Gmail. It takes about two minutes and there is nothing to migrate.
What does it cost?
It is free during the beta. If that ever changes you will hear about it well before, and you can leave with one click.
Is this AI? Does it read my email?
No AI writes your replies and nothing invents a rate. Matching and drafting follow fixed rules and run on your computer. The text of your emails never leaves your browser, and HauLens does not use the Gmail API or ask for permission to your mailbox.
How does it help against double brokering and carrier identity theft?
It compares the address a carrier is writing from with the contact FMCSA has on file for that MC number, shows how old the sender domain is, and flags new authority, insurance below the required amount, and out of service orders. The evidence sits beside the email. The decision stays with you.
We already pay for a carrier vetting service. Do we still need this?
Keep it. HauLens is the layer inside your inbox, not an onboarding system. It shows FMCSA evidence beside the email and leaves the booking decision, and your approved carrier process, with you.
Where does the carrier data come from?
FMCSA and US Department of Transportation public records. FMCSA stays the record of authority.
Does it work with Outlook?
Not yet. Gmail in Chrome today, Outlook next.
Cover tomorrow's loads with HauLens open.
Bring your loads in with one spreadsheet drop. Your board is ready in a minute, and the first reply takes a click. If it ever gets an email wrong, forward it to contact@haulens.ai. A person reads every one.
