Shippers can benefit from the many aspects of QualifiedCarriers.com services, including the following:

USDOT Data Reporting: Track real-time USDOT safety data on carriers, monitor trends, customize reports, and view carriers who are improving, declining, or maintaining performance on government measures for compliance and safety.

Document Management: Maintain in a highly secure environment, and easily view, download, and print, critical carrier documents such as insurance certificates, hazmat permits, carrier contracts, and others.

Document and Message Distribution: Quickly and effortlessly distribute to carriers timely documents and messages such as security and loss prevention bulletins, freight handling procedures, product-line Standards of Care, emergency notifications, and others.

Standards of Care: Sometimes also known as contract requirements, terms and conditions, carrier assessment checklists, and others. Our decades of experience drafting and enforcing Standards of Care for safety and compliance are a valuable resource for shippers when revising standards or drafting them for the first time.

Audits and Verifications: Our network of experienced professional audit inspectors help shippers gain the confidence that comes only from on-site verification of carriers’ performance and compliance with procedures, expectations, industry best practices, and applicable laws and regulations.
