With MercuryGate’s Carma, you can tender loads with confidence knowing that carriers have been fully
vetted. Today’s new realities force anyone seeking safe, reliable carriers to carefully consider many important
factors. These factors include safety ratings, insurance coverage and limits, authorities, equipment quality,
financial strength, contract terms, certifications, hazmat qualifications, lanes served, and diversity
qualifications among others.
Carma is more than a data management tool. It permits the creation of manual and automatic processes that
ensure that every carrier is fully vetted, on-boarded, and maintained consistently in keeping with your own
requirements and process. Carma makes it easy to manage 100,000 carriers as it is to manage 100 carriers.
Carma integrates with the most trusted carrier compliance services including RMIS, DAT CarrierWatch, and
Carrier411. Integration of these services and unattended, automated monitoring provides Carma users with
peace of mind knowing that an unexpected insurance lapse will not lead to financial ruin.
Knowing that a carrier meets every standard for compliance quality and financial strength is a good start.
Combining compliance factors with equipment capacity, locations, lanes, and commodities transported
permits Carma users to find exactly the carrier needed for a specific load. Carma also has provisions for
auditing, qualifying, and maintaining drivers and vendors to provide a suite of options for carrier related
parties including safety and licenses.
Bottom line – Carma automates the details of carrier data management so you can focus on managing your
growing business.
