Brokers and shippers can define their own criteria regarding when they want to be notified of carrier data changes. You can also run a search to see if an address, phone number, fax number, etc. has been used previously by a carrier who went out of business or was shut down by the FMCSA.

How are carriers registered?

According to the FMCSA, the Unified Registration System (URS) is an electronic online registration system that streamlines the carrier registration process. It applies to all the entities that FMCSA regulates, including freight and passenger motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, intermodal equipment providers, hazardous materials safety permit applicants/holders, and cargo tank manufacturing and repair facilities.

How do I know if a carrier is compliant with all FMCSA regulations?

Using DAT’s CarrierWatch you never have to worry about working with a fraudulent carrier. Using DAT’s database, you can search thousands of carriers using our DOT number lookup function, which means you can rest assured that carriers are compliant with all FMCSA regulations.

What criteria does CarrierWatch check for?

DAT CarrierWatch verifies that carriers are up-to-date with their USDOT number registration. In addition, DAT CarrierWatch also checks safety ratings, carrier identity, state and federal regulation compliance, and insurance so that you can trust you’ve found the right carrier.

What if a carrier’s status changes?

DAT CarrierWatch is updated daily, so you’ll always know if a carrier’s status has changed. Users receive email alerts as soon as there is any update to carrier information, such as changes in authority, USDOT number, safety rating, inspections, crash data, insurance renewals, and cancellations.

Can I monitor the carriers I’m working with?

With DAT CarrierWatch, you can use our DOT number lookup feature to keep track of carriers you’ve worked with in the past. Just because a carrier was legal last time you worked together doesn’t necessarily mean that carrier is legal today. You can define your own criteria so you can be notified of any applicable carrier data changes.

How do I access CarrierWatch?

Within the DAT Power load board, click the Toolbox icon in the upper-right-hand corner and select “CarrierWatch.” If you use a transportation management system (TMS), information from CarrierWatch may be compatible with your system. Check with your IT department to see if your company subscribes to CarrierWatch and how to access it within your TMS.
