Carrier Assure Inc.

With this new free feature, trucking companies, dispatchers, and factoring companies can now report brokers for issues such as: ⛔No pay ⛔Slow pay ⛔Double brokering ⛔Improper shipment information ⛔Unfair charges  ⛔Fraud. Similar to when reports are filed against carriers, we will maintain a strong vetting process for reports filed against brokers. Every report goes through a thorough review process, and we require concrete evidence to support each claim. Our goal is to maintain a fair and accurate platform for all users. This is just the beginning. We're committed to transparency and accountability. Soon, we'll introduce broker scores, broker-related entities, and broker finances to provide even more insights! https://hubs.ly/Q02Lj95p0

This was brought to my attention yesterday: A mid-size broker filed false THEFT, FRAUD, and DECEPTIVE PRACTICE reports against a good trucking company on multiple platforms (not Carrier Assure, we would have denied that report). The broker failed to use the FMCSA contact information, was scammed, and never worked with a legitimate trucking company. But filed the THEFT report (not identity theft) anyhow, conceding in the report that they were scammed. The carrier's business was negatively impacted. The carrier professionally asked (multiple times) to have the reports removed. The broker blew the carrier off. Carrier files a report against the broker on Carrier Assure. The reports on the other platforms were deleted within 30 minutes. What are your company rules for filing reports against carriers to prevent something like this? If the carrier wanted to sue, it would be a good case against the broker.

Shippers play a crucial role in safeguarding cargo! 🚚🔒 Here are some proactive measures you can take: ✔️Invest in Physical Security: Implement security measures at your facilities, including high fences, security lighting, and robust access control systems. ✔️Seal it Tight: Use high-quality tamper-evident seals on trailers to deter potential tampering and provide early theft detection. ✔️Technology as Your Ally: Use real-time shipment tracking software to monitor your cargo's location and identify any suspicious deviations. Consider investing in electronic trailer locking systems. ✔️Partner with Reputable Brokers: Choose brokers who prioritize security by employing stringent carrier vetting procedures. The fight against cargo theft is ongoing, but you can significantly reduce your risk with the right knowledge and strategies. Want to access exclusive content from logistics experts?

We equip you with the data you need to navigate these situations confidently. Here are some tips for working with D or F-rated carriers: ✅Double Down on Vetting: Do your research beyond the rating.

Shop around for competitive rates. ✅Budget for Seasonal Surges: Summer = Peak Season!

Today Carrier Assure Inc. is having a webinar on safety scores. 15:00 EST 🚨 For the better part of 3 years, I was vetting hundreds of carriers every day. And I don't mean just checking if they were active, they could have been used the day before and I was vetting them like they were brand spankin' new. What I didn't know much about was safety scores. There were thresholds set in the onboarding platform and I didn't know much beyond that. Fast forward to working for Carrier Assure. I have learned so much about carrier safety from Cassandra Gaines and other industry experts but I have also learned how every company looks at this type of data differently. We chose this topic because it isn't something that isn't talked back often enough. If you have ever been to our webinars you know they are far from boring and we have over 300 people interested in learning more about this topic and getting a fresh perspective.
