TransCore, Portland, Ore., a provider of transportation solutions in the United States and Canada, has announced that Landstar System Inc., Jacksonville, Fla., one of the nation’s largest transportation and logistics services, has completed integration of TransCore’s CarrierWatch monitoring service into their companywide transportation management software (TMS) system.

CarrierWatch is a monitoring service that provides shippers and freight brokers with an immediate, online method of validating and monitoring carrier credentials. At the heart of CarrierWatch is a database that stores key information on more than 270,000 North American motor carriers. CarrierWatch allows companies to avoid the risk of using unsafe, unauthorized or underinsured carriers and reduces the time-consuming paperwork that is normally a part of the hiring process. All subscribers to TransCore’s 3sixty Freight Matching services get free carrier monitoring tools including automatic notices on changes in authority, safety ratings, SafeStat SEA Scores or DOT-reported insurance changes. Subscribers can create a Watch List, receive email notifications, spot check individual carriers, print carrier snapshots for company records, identify bad carriers with the Alias search feature, and much more.
