Most shippers check insurance and move on. But carrier risk changes daily. This checklist shows you what to watch for, what changes over time, and how one person handling your vetting can reduce your risk.
WHY THIS CHECKLIST
Nate Tyree has spent over 13 years in transportation and logistics inside some of the largest 3PL organizations in the world. Every day, he and the T&S team vet carriers for dedicated lanes and spot loads. They check more than insurance, and they look for the red flags most shippers never see.
Carrier KPIs change fast and frequently. A carrier that passed every check last month can accumulate violations this week. Unsafe driving records, out-of-service violations, and citations get updated regularly. Without a system to monitor these changes, you are exposed to risk that you cannot see.
This checklist covers 13 points that Nate uses to vet carriers. It covers what to check before booking and what to monitor over time. Download it, use it, and if you want, send us your problem lane for a free carrier analysis.
