Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I get a quote?

Most verified operators on VerifiedHub respond to a quote request within 2–6 hours during business days. Submit the form on this page with your route, tonnage, and start date, and the request goes directly to operators serving your area.

Are operators on VerifiedHub vetted?

Every operator that displays a Verified badge has had their CIPC registration, RTMS status, and at least one compliance document reviewed by our team. Operators awaiting verification appear with a Pending badge so you can choose accordingly.

Do I pay VerifiedHub a fee?

Clients don't pay VerifiedHub anything. The platform fee is paid by the operator on successful bookings, so you get the same rates you would get going direct — without the scam risk of finding operators on classifieds or social media.

Can I message the operator before booking?

Yes — once your quote request lands, you can chat directly with the operator inside VerifiedHub. Use this to confirm equipment specs, cross-check insurance, or negotiate rates before any money changes hands.
