The list
The stats strip at the top counts your book: Total carriers, Verified, New this month, Carriers with loads, Dispatched loads — plus your Busiest carriers by load count. The table itself shows each carrier’s Name, Contact, Phone, Email, MC, US DOT, Status, Terms, Loads, Verified, Rating, Board (the load board it came from), Address and Added; Manage columns chooses which are shown. Search by name, MC, DOT or email, and Filters narrows by Status, Verified, Has loads and Load board. Add Carrier creates one by hand.Verification
A carrier can carry a verification result from a LongMile check: a status, a score, a band and a recommendation, with the date it was checked. That check looks at federal records — authority, insurance, safety history, bond, and chameleon-carrier detection — and gives you a 100-point score so you are not deciding on gut feel. See LongMile.A carrier that has never been checked shows no verification, which is different from failing one.
The carrier profile
Open a carrier and you get five tabs — Loads, Profile, Documents, Due Diligence and Notes — above a performance strip (Loads hauled, Carrier pay, Paid to carrier, Offer acceptance, Last load):- Loads
- Profile
- Documents
- Due Diligence
- Notes
Every load this carrier has hauled for you, with the rate paid and the outcome. Opens on this
tab, because it is the question you usually have.
Payment terms
Each carrier has a terms value in days — how long after delivery you pay them. It is set on the Profile tab and is used as the default when you post a load with that carrier. Amounts owed and paid are tracked in Accounting.Related
