The Cost of a Watchdog Report
TIA Watchdog is a member-only database run by the Transportation Intermediaries Association. Member brokers check it before working with a carrier. When your MC number shows an incident report, those brokers quietly move on. Since many brokerages belong to TIA, one report can close a lot of doors at once.
Why did TIA brokers vanish?
Watchdog incident reports usually involve claims of re-brokering, payment disputes, non-delivery or a load that went badly wrong. The broker writes the account. You can respond, but your response sits beneath their version, and brokers reading the entry rarely give the carrier the benefit of the doubt.
What did they report?
Yes. A Watchdog report was filed by a broker, and that broker can have it removed. FGR mediates with the filing broker on your behalf, works toward an agreement, and sees it through until the incident is gone. No upfront payment, and nothing owed if we cannot remove it.

What Is a TIA Watchdog Report?
TIA Watchdog is a carrier incident database operated by the Transportation Intermediaries Association, the trade group for freight brokers and 3PLs. Access is limited to TIA members. Member brokers use Watchdog to warn each other about carriers they believe caused a problem, and they check it before working with a carrier they have not used before.
A TIA Watchdog report, often called an incident report, is filed by a member broker against a specific motor carrier. Typical reasons include re-brokering a load without permission, payment disputes and claims that freight was never delivered. The broker writes up what happened from their point of view. The carrier named can respond, and that response is attached to the entry.
In 2023, TIA partnered with Highway to refocus Watchdog on real fraud. The platform is tighter than it once was, but a report against your company still carries real weight with the brokers who see it. If your name appears on Highway as well, see our Highway report removal page.
Who Sees a Watchdog Report?
TIA member brokers see it directly inside Watchdog. That audience is smaller than the one on Carrier411, but it is concentrated: brokerages that pay for TIA membership tend to be established companies that move a lot of freight and take vetting seriously.
The reach extends beyond TIA. Some load boards display Watchdog incidents in their carrier search results, so brokers who are not TIA members may still see that your company has been flagged. A report meant for a members-only database can end up in front of anyone searching your MC number.
How a TIA Watchdog Report Hurts a Carrier
Broker compliance teams treat a Watchdog incident as a stop sign. A setup packet that would have been approved in an hour gets put on hold, then quietly declined. Brokers you have worked with before may recheck Watchdog during re-vetting, find the report and stop tendering. None of them will tell you why.
Because Watchdog reports are often about re-brokering and payment, they put your company in the same category as fraudulent operators, even when the real story was a dispute over one load. That label sticks while the report is up.
Can a TIA Watchdog Report Be Removed?
Yes. The report belongs to the broker who filed it, and the broker can have it removed. TIA does not referee between its members and the carriers they report. The association hosts the entry; the member controls whether it stays.
So removal means getting the filing broker to agree. That is a negotiation, not a procedure, and it depends on who is doing the talking.
Why Carriers Who Dispute It Themselves Usually Lose
The response feature on Watchdog looks like a solution. It is not. A response does not remove the report; it adds the carrier's paragraph underneath the broker's, and brokers usually read the incident, not the rebuttal. Many responses are written in anger, and an angry response makes the original report look more credible, not less.
Calling the broker directly tends to go the same way. The broker filed the report because they believe you cost them money or embarrassed them in front of a shipper. A call from the carrier they blame starts from distrust, and most end with the broker more committed to leaving the report up. Threats make it worse, because removing the report then looks like backing down.
There is also a knowledge gap: carriers do not know what a TIA member broker needs before they feel comfortable removing an incident, and without that, even a polite conversation stalls.
How FGR Removes TIA Watchdog Reports
FGR, short for FreightGuard Removal, is a mediation company. We negotiate with the broker who filed the Watchdog report on your behalf, as a neutral third party, until they agree to have it removed. We do not argue with TIA or send threatening letters. We give the broker a professional reason to close the matter.
We start by reviewing the report, the broker and the reason stated, then tell you plainly how likely removal is along with an individual quote. If you go ahead, our mediators take over every contact with the broker. You do not write responses, make calls or relive the dispute. Most cases take a few business days, and we keep you updated throughout.
Our success rate across all platforms is 82%, with more than 300 reports removed in total and 214 in the last year, on TIA Watchdog, Carrier411, Highway and CarrierAssure. If you have been reported in more than one place, we handle all of it.
What TIA Watchdog Report Removal Costs
Fees are set individually after review, because a re-brokering claim from a large brokerage is a different negotiation from a payment dispute with a small one. The payment terms never change: no upfront payment, and you pay only after the report is removed from Watchdog. If we cannot get it removed, you owe nothing.

TIA Watchdog Report Removal FAQ
A Watchdog report comes down when the TIA member broker who filed it agrees to remove it. FGR negotiates with the filing broker on your behalf until they agree. You do not contact the broker or argue the case. You send us the details, we handle every conversation, and you pay only after the report is gone.
It is an incident report filed by a TIA member broker against a motor carrier in Watchdog, a members-only database run by the Transportation Intermediaries Association. Reports typically involve re-brokering, payment disputes or claims of non-delivery. Other member brokers see the report when they vet your company, and some load boards show Watchdog incidents too.
Sometimes. Watchdog itself is member-only, but some load boards display Watchdog incidents next to a carrier's listing in their search results. Brokers who are not TIA members can still learn that your company has been flagged, so the reach is wider than the members-only label suggests.
No. A response is attached to the entry, but the broker's report stays exactly where it was. Brokers reading Watchdog tend to read the incident, not the carrier's reply, and a heated response often makes the report look more believable. Only removal clears the entry, and that takes the filing broker's agreement.
Most removals are finished within a few business days once mediation begins, though some brokers take longer to agree. We do not promise a specific date because the broker controls the removal. We keep you updated the whole way, and you pay only after removal.
Pricing is individual and quoted after we review the report and the broker involved. There is no upfront payment. You pay only once the Watchdog report has been removed, and if we are not able to get it removed, you do not owe us anything.
No. Watchdog is a private database run by a trade association, not a government agency. Incident reports in it are not FMCSA data, do not appear on SAFER and do not change your CSA scores or safety rating. The harm is commercial: brokers see the report and decline to work with you.
