Carrier Risk Assessment
Audit your carrier safety risk in seconds
The Supreme Court just changed the rules for carrier selection. Our free risk assessment tool reveals if the carriers you're booking today could cost you in court.
METHODOLOGY
How each carrier risk assessment is calculated
Carriers are scored across nine FMCSA safety axes, crashes, OOS rates, revocations, insurance, authority, and benchmarked against peer-group percentiles from ~2 million US carriers. Read the complete scoring model below.
The ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC means brokers can be held liable for negligent carrier selection. Every load is now a legal exhibit.
FMCSA data is now table stakes
Brokers need to actively consider FMCSA safety scores, crash rates, and out-of-service history when vetting carriers; the same data attorneys will reference in court.
Defending the hire requires a record
Every load needs a timestamped record of the data reviewed, the criteria applied, and the decision made across every hire.
"Ordinary Care" is the legal standard
The Court held that brokers owe a "duty of reasonable care in employing a contractor for work carrying a risk of physical harm"
