The results are sorted based on information the carrier has self-reported, as well as data collected through the FMCSA, the carrier’s own website, and reviews. Preference is always given to what the carrier has reported directly to CarrierSource. **Insurance & Safety Information** On each carrier profile you will find insurance & safety information; authorizations, safety violations, accident report, and inspections. This is all directly from the FMCSA and depending on the information is updated daily or monthly. **Private Carrier Lists****![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Oi5a8UdO4KZNz_Oj02XdnciotZSqlOne3CObYK1vleYYVge59tnKxibQxzS28yzderg6FTIUYokJCeBSc5RdCVa9Wad95S9USyp1iSHoh3OaLb3oBWlsfB7SXZYx8q3hgVGjLmz0Or0cC2ynj1MsYIA)![Screen Shot 2022-08-02 at 12.31.51 PM](https://company.carriersource.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-02%20at%2012.31.51%20PM.png?width=390&height=221&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-08-02%20at%2012.31.51%20PM.png)** At the top of each carrier profile you will find a button to “Save Carrier.” You’ll find the carriers you save in [your dashboard](https://www.carriersource.io/dashboard/lists?utm_source=blog) to reference at any time. If you want to save carriers in categories for example “Carriers in Texas” you can create different lists. To create a new list, just type the name for the list, click “Create List”, and the list will appear under “My List.”   ![Screenshot 2023-08-24 at 12.32.52 PM](https://company.carriersource.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-08-24%20at%2012.32.52%20PM.png?width=306&height=137&name=Screenshot%202023-08-24%20at%2012.32.52%20PM.png) **Private Notes** ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/hP1ConGkmRcag4_4PahY2u-N7NOp3mVM-mRT18VlLIDFpxlT0wvf7SeabhkbyFNAVOJesWb07YKObT_OU-Ac17CJVTHiYakg93EsYY_7XXuxv8ueDDKoswK-6zuLBTHB1x0NcNj57Eu24rsQOVamQCc)In the same place that you can save a carrier, you can also “add notes.” These notes will also be located in your personal dashboard if\\ you save the carrier & are useful for remembering specific details. They can also be located when you are on a carrier profile by clicking “edit notes." **Contact Information** As a verified broker or shipper you will have access to contact information. This includes the phone number, email, and representative names.  **Reviews** The reviews on our site are written by brokers and shippers who have had direct experience working with a carrier. Every single review on CarrierSource has been read & verified by a member of our team. We take moderation of our reviews very seriously as we want to ensure that our site is the #1 trusted resource for carriers in the world. Part of that moderation process includes a) confirming that the reviewer is who they say they are and b) confirming the reviewer worked with the carrier.  Finally, you can write reviews of all the trucking companies you've used to help your peers sift through the volume. By sharing your unique experiences through carrier reviews, you'll help drive transparency and trust throughout the entire logistics industry.
