Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
What it is
Descartes MyCarrierPortal is an online carrier packet platform for onboarding, risk management, compliance, and fraud prevention. Freight brokers can invite carriers to complete customized packets, verify profiles, accept contracts, and submit electronic W9 or W8 forms. Vetting tools assess credentials, operating capabilities, safety records, and compliance history. Fraud controls include VIN verification, two-factor authentication for carrier profiles, community reporting, and carrier history. The service monitors insurance coverage, sends change alerts, and provides certificates for over 90% of active carriers. Compliance monitoring covers authority, safety records, inspections, and FMCSA requirements, with alerts when carriers fall out of compliance. It integrates with TMS systems, including listed partners Descartes 3G TMS, GenLogs, CloneOps.ai, Carrier Assure, and WireBee. The platform serves brokers, shippers, 3PLs, and carriers, and reports more than 250,000 verified carriers in its network. Android, iOS, web, API access, and carrier-portal functions are supported.
