CarrierOK Reviews & Product Details

Gaining deeper insights into a carrier and their relationships within the industry is essential for tracking fraud, and the ability to contact the company owner via email during booking is a valuable feature. The industry is evolving rapidly, and having access to this resource offers an extra layer of data to help identify bad actors before a booking is made. CarrierOK consistently seeks ways to enhance its product and stay ahead of emerging fraud trends in the industry. One of the most critical aspects is detecting insurance fraud, particularly when a trucking company is double-brokering or leasing carriers without providing the primary tier of insurance, which introduces significant risk and is fraudulent. Insurance companies should perform more thorough due diligence to fully understand who they are insuring and to monitor trucking companies' VINs and driver ratings, ultimately helping to reduce risks for both their own sector and the broader trucking industry.

ELD tracking information is essential for monitoring both truck and driver activity, which is vital for insurance purposes and the transportation industry as a whole. Recently, FMCSA systems have been exploited in increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes, enabling malicious actors to take over an MC and leave everyone at risk. Currently, CarrierOk is unable to fully address this issue, as it would require the FMCSA to implement stricter identification checks and more robust procedures for verifying ownership changes and insurance VINs when granting authority or tracking equipment changes. Collecting IP addresses could serve as an additional layer of defense. It is also essential to raise awareness among insurance companies, which may unknowingly provide coverage to these fraudsters without conducting thorough due diligence. Working with Insurance providers to share IP addresses at the time of purchase for their products will require greater innovation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What’s not to like? I use CarrierOK daily, it’s become an essential part of my workflow. I can jump in, validate MCs seamlessly, and if I ever need help, their support team is responsive and on point.

The click-to-copy function speeds up data collection significantly, and the visibility into contact history and changes is incredibly helpful. I also value the multiple search options, they've helped me flag and avoid several fraudulent actors.

One standout feature: CarrierOK’s ability to show connections between companies or individuals. Whether it’s a shared phone number, email, or address, that level of transparency is a game changer for risk management and outreach accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not sure if this is possible, but it would be a great feature to add a filter on the "Newly Added MCs" list to exclude formation companies. Many of these groups set up spoofed emails and phone numbers for their clients, making it easy to unintentionally send marketing to a third party instead of the actual carrier or broker. Right now, we have to manually filter each report to separate legitimate contacts from formation services. Adding a filter to remove these would help make outreach more efficient and accurate.

We have found little to no downsides to utilizing Carrier OK I find it a vital asset to each of our departments success. from the freight brokerage being able to validate carriers before onboarding without being associated with the likes of Highway or MCP which have no opportunity to look further into something on a carriers account that may be questionable such as an incorrect filing with the FMCSA by a Safety and Compliance service provider that enters something incorrectly for a carrier client.
