Connect your research to pickup

CargoGuard

You've taken the first step by researching the carrier. Now use CargoGuard to verify the driver and equipment assigned to your load.

  1. Confirm the assignment. Match the carrier name and USDOT number to your booking records. Confirm the expected driver, truck and trailer details through your established carrier contact.
  2. Review the driver. CargoGuard's workflow includes a license scan and selfie check. Review the result against the driver assigned to the load.
  3. Review the equipment. Check the submitted cab card, truck photos and license plate photo against the expected pickup details. Confirm any equipment changes with the carrier before release.
  4. Keep the shipment record together. Retain the pickup photos and delivery documents with the load so your team has a clear reference during handoffs.

This is a general pickup checklist, not a finding about this carrier or any of its drivers or equipment. Use the same routine for each load. CargoGuard supports your review; it does not replace your carrier qualification process or guarantee a shipment's outcome.

Inspection summary

Reporting period: not verified in this source response. Counts and rates below are returned aggregates; missing values are not zero.

Inspections and out-of-service results
TypeInspectionsOut-of-service inspectionsOOS rate (source value)
Vehicle2312812.12

OOS = out of service. Source rates are rounded to two decimals for display. These describe the inspection sample, not the entire fleet or workforce. Categories may overlap; do not add them into a total. No safety grade is assigned.

US out-of-service comparison

FMCSA SAFER: US carrier inspections in the 24 months prior to 2026-10-07. National OOS benchmark dated 2026-09-25, based on the most recent 24 months of inspections in the monthly SAFER snapshot. The periods have the same duration and inspection types; their ending dates differ.
