Our Approach to Carrier Vetting
A strong vetting process signals that a logistics provider is disciplined, transparent, and built for long-term partnerships and not shortcuts. We know that our customers who value security and reliability care about who touches their freight, how risk is assessed, and whether decisions are proactive or reactive. Our strict vetting process ensures our clients have peace of mind because they know that their freight will not disappear, their operations will run smoothly and their brand reputation will not be disturbed.
4 Benefits of a Disciplined, Data-Driven Carrier Vetting Approach
1. Reduced Fraud and Theft Risk
This prevents fraudulent carriers from ever touching the load. Data-driven vetting flags red flags early, such as:
- Suspicious MC/DOT activity
- Frequent name or address changes
- Inconsistent insurance coverage
- High-risk lanes or cargo mismatches
2. Stronger Compliance and Liability Protection
This protects logistics companies and customers from regulatory fines, lawsuits, and claim denials. A disciplined process ensures:
- Active authority and valid insurance
- Safety scores within acceptable thresholds
- Proper operating history and credentials
3. More Consistent Service Performance
Consistency builds operational confidence across the supply chain. Vetting based on historical data—on-time rates, claims history, service feedback—leads to:
- Fewer service failures
- Fewer last-minute surprises
- More predictable outcomes
4. Faster, Smarter Decision-Making
This allows logistics providers to grow without increasing risk. When vetting is standardized and data-driven:
- Carriers are approved or declined quickly
- Decisions are objective, not emotional
- Scaling capacity doesn’t mean sacrificing standards
