Quick checklist

  • Add selected carriers by USDOT.
  • Daily re-checks with emails on detected field changes.
  • Small-desk pricing from $19 per month.

Why teams switch

Smaller brokerages often want monitoring without enterprise pricing or a long onboarding. The core need is simple: a free carrier lookup and a paid daily re-check for carriers they book repeatedly.

Keep your vetted list portable

Your vetted carrier list is valuable operational context. A monitoring tool can add selected carriers by USDOT and re-check them so you do not start from scratch on every repeat load.

Pricing that fits a small desk

CarrierSentry starts at $19 per month for up to 25 selected carriers. Larger watchlists require a capacity review before activation.

Verify a carrier now

Run a free FMCSA lookup by USDOT, MC number or company name. Then put the carriers you book on watch for a daily re-check and an email when a monitored field change is detected.
