Safety Rating It is of the utmost importance for shippers to check the safety rating of the carriers they put under their loads. If the truckload carrier has been in business for a while and there are no inspections, then this may mean they fronting the business as an asset motor carrier but then broker all the loads out. If the carrier has a high out of service rate, then it could mean they are getting stopped at every scale for further scrutiny by the Department of Transportation DOT.
A plus with working with an LSP or 3PL is they have their systems tied into monitoring programs that go out a minimum of once a day to check the safety rating and valid operating authorities for all of their motor carriers they use for their shippers. Shippers need to remember to check both business operations and cargo insurance. The credit rating provides a shipper a good snapshot view of the financial health of the company they are working with to service its customers.
Keep in mind, a freight carrier can close its doors without warning leaving a shipper out trying to find where its freight is and how to recover it. Service is the Differentiator A motor carrier can be perfect on all its safety, insurance and financial stability.
