# Carriers
> Your carrier book — MC and DOT numbers, verification, terms, load history, documents and notes.
**Carriers** is the record of every carrier you have worked with. Carriers arrive here
automatically the first time you dispatch a load to them from a load board, and you can add one
by hand at any time.
***
## The list
The stats strip at the top counts your book: total, active, disabled, verified, new this month,
how many have hauled for you, total loads and the average number of loads per carrier — plus your
top carriers by load count.
The table itself shows each carrier's name and contact, MC and DOT numbers, status, payment terms
and how many loads they have run for you. Sort by any column, or search by name, MC, DOT, phone or
email.
***
## 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](/integrations/loadboards/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:
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.
Name, contact person, phone, email, address, website, company type, MC and DOT, DOT certificate
and insurance certificate, plus their default **payment terms** in days.
The general document shelf — signed carrier agreements, W-9s, anything you keep on file.
Compliance paperwork kept separately from general documents, and counted separately, so an
audit trail stays an audit trail.
Free-text notes from your team. Use it for the things that never fit a field — who to ask for,
which lanes they actually run, why you stopped using them.
***
## 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](/using/accounting).
