What to do after you claim

Take a load off

First, pat yourself on the back and celebrate that you have taken this major step toward growing your business. By claiming your page, you have put yourself back in the driver's seat and now have the ability to share your story in your own words.

Update your information

Your CarrierSource page is your first impression to thousands of brokers and shippers. Make sure your company information is up to date and accurate to ensure potential customers know exactly what services you offer. Without basic details like truck types, shipment types, and whether you offer any specialized services, brokers and shippers may think you can’t handle their freight and move onto the next business.

Share a description of your business

Your CarrierSource page is an opportunity for you to tell the world what makes your company special. After you claim your free page, you can write a description to let potential customers know more about your business, history, values, and specialties.

Respond to reviews

After claiming your page, you might find that you already have some reviews. Responding to any reviews you have are a great way to show brokers and shippers that you value their opinion and are making adjustments based on their feedback.
