Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the most of it. ### Overview: Carrier Profiles and Verified Reviews Every carrier on CarrierSource has a dedicated profile that displays critical information about their company and services. Each profile includes verified reviews from other brokers and shippers, offering insights into the carrier’s performance and credibility. ### Getting Started To begin, head to the homepage at [www.carriersource.io](http://www.carriersource.io). From there, you can jump right into the search. 1. **Search Options**: - **By Name, DOT Number, or Docket Number**: Use the search bar to enter a carrier's name, docket number, or DOT number for direct lookup. - **By Location**: Need a carrier from a specific area? Try searching by city. For example, searching “Chicago” will yield carriers headquartered or with terminals in the area. - **By Specific Lane**: Looking for carriers on a particular route? You can search lanes, like Chicago to Seattle, and see carriers who specialize in that route. 2. **Sort and Filter Options**: - Sort your results by rating, fleet size, or how long a carrier has had their authority - Refine your search with filters for truck types, freight types, safety rating, insurance minimums, and more. 3. **Carrier Snapshot Cards**: In the search results, carrier snapshot cards display essential details at a glance, such as fleet size, authority status, and overall star rating. Carriers with a blue checkmark on their profile notes that the carrier has claimed and updated their information directly. ### Dive Deeper with Carrier Profiles Clicking on a carrier’s profile provides even more valuable information, such as: - **Safety and Insurance Details**: See their safety rating, insurance details, and link to their SAFER listing for compliance checks. - **Detailed Company Info**: Profiles often include company descriptions, truck types, shipment preferences, and states of operation. - **Contact and Quote Request**: Every profile has a “Contact” button to access direct contact details. You can also request a quote directly from the profile. ### Reviews CarrierSource prioritizes reliable, verified reviews. Each review is read by a human before posting to ensure authenticity, empowering you to rely on the information shared. We encourage you to contribute to this network by leaving reviews for carriers you've worked with. ### Conclusion CarrierSource is here to help you find the right carriers with transparency and ease.
