How to prevent adding duplicate contractors

Last updated: July 1, 2026

Duplicate contractor entries can cause payment delays. To help prevent this, please follow these guidelines:

  • Have all carriers complete a carrier packet.
    This ensures we collect consistent and accurate information.
  • Enter the carrier’s name and MC# exactly as listed on the FMCSA.
    Be sure to include any special characters such as hyphens, ampersands (&), commas, etc.
  • Check for existing contractors before creating a new one.
    Use the Search function in the contractor list to see if the contractor already exists.
