How much time does your company waste on verifying carriers? See where your forwarders’ time (and money) is going to waste

Carrier verification is one of the key elements of the forwarder’s work, ensuring transport safety and minimizing the risk of potential losses. Unfortunately, this process is time-consuming and costly.

Proper verification of the carrier includes checking registration documents, transport licenses, financial condition, insurance, market opinions and the condition of the carrier’s fleet. This process requires the use of many tools and databases, making it very time-consuming and costly – verification of one company usually takes about 30 minutes. Depending on the structure of the company, verification is carried out by one person or a dedicated team, handling even several dozen requests per day.

In the case of forwarders that regularly collaborate with the same transport companies, the verification process for carriers with subsequent orders is significantly shorter. It mainly involves checking the validity of documents and insurance. However, the whole process can still take several minutes—just for one carrier.

Often, the pressure of quick order execution means that there is no time for thorough verification of the carrier. Verification of the license or insurance policy occurs only after the transport has started.
