Carrier relations and freight broker and motor carrier contracts have now become cornerstones of conscientious logistics companies as carrier compliance and carrier safety requirements take on new meaning following the CH Robinson freight case.

Carrier relations professionals use Carrier411 to develop and maintain relationships and contracts with the highest quality truckload carriers, LTL carriers and Intermodal carriers to provide superior equipment availability and service to meet the shipping needs of customers.

Carrier411 is a monitoring service that helps carrier relations look up carrier authority and monitor trucking companies for changes in insurance, authority and motor carrier safety ratings. Carrier relations can also view and print certificates for any trucking company as a matter of due diligence and carrier management. And there has never been an easier way to evaluate the safety compliance of your entire carrier base in seconds than with our carrier safety results.

We also help carrier relations in the development of TL van, TL flatbed, inter-modal and TL temperature control for all origins and destinations. Using Carrier411 helps make carrier relations easier for developing qualified carriers to ship inbound and outbound loads, especial with features like our carrier locator.

Due Diligence for Carrier Relations
Becoming an insurance certificate holder for your carriers is recommened, but it is not good enough any more as a matter of due diligence. Any carrier's insurance could be cancelled within weeks of receiving the certificate. And it is unlikely you will be notified by insurance agents when a certificate of insurance is updated or a policy is cancelled.

With our automated carrier alerts, Carrier411 lets everyone in carrier relations know as soon as your registered carriers run into problems with insurance, authority or safety. We even let you know if and when those problems get corrected.
