01 / THE CUSTODY GAP

The booking says who should arrive. Pickup confirms who did.

Phone calls, forwarded documents, and screenshots can move a load forward without creating one clear account of the person, equipment, and approval at the dock.

Why freight custody matters

02 / WHO SPOTLOCK SERVES

One custody view around the freight transaction.

SpotLock adds verification and visibility around the handoff. It does not broker freight or replace the relationships already moving the load.
