Carrier Assure FAQs
Does the score include violations?
We use data science and analytics to project how a carrier is likely to perform on long-haul, interstate shipments based on industry benchmarks so that you may utilize a carrier best suited to meet your business needs. We built algorithms that consistently comb through publicly available data and that recalculate each carrier’s score on a daily basis.Further, each carrier is compared to similar carriers and if the carrier is doing worse, better, or the same as their peers based on the over two million data points considered by our algorithms, the carrier’s score will reflect that.
Yes, Carrier Assure does not prohibit the use of any carrier! A carrier’s score is a performance indicator only. The carrier is not scored unless it has active, for-hire, motor carrier interstate authority. Similar to how credit scores are utilized for banks, a carrier’s score is an alphabetical expression based on Carrier Assure’s assessment of historical data points. This means you may want to consider using the carrier for shipments that don’t require a lot for experience and are not complex. Easy, dry van, short hauls may be a good idea. It’s always best to check a carrier’s publicly available information through the FMCSA and to conduct any additional vetting in line with your existing carrier selection policies before hiring a carrier, but feel free to use an F carrier for the appropriate shipment.
Absolutely. Violations are considered in the scoring along with the severity of the violations, timings of when they occurred, and many other factors. In fact, all relevant FMCSA data is automatically considered within Carrier Assure’s algorithms, including but not limited to: CSA measures, percentiles, inspection, number of stats inspects, miles, and reported insurance. Carrier Assure has selected relevant and critical data points to be reflected in each score.
Not yet. We analyze the insurance data received from the FMCSA and consider the types of insurance, relationship with the reported carrier and the amounts of insurance, which are all reflected in the score.
No. Only carriers that have valid, for-hire, interstate motor carrier authority with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration are scored. In addition, we do not score carriers that have a safety rating of Conditional or Unsatisfactory.
Yes. We are serious when we say that all the relevant FMCSA data points are considered. If a carrier does have broker authority and its peers do not generally have broker authority, the carrier may have a lower score than its peers.
