At the present time, North American Transportation Consultants,
Inc. (NATC) is performing several types of carrier monitoring services
for its clients. These services include the monitoring of both private and
certificated carrier operations for both shippers and carriers alike.
Private fleet operations are monitored by NATC at the request of parent
companies and/or the carrier itself to ensure the information being
recorded and reported by governmental agencies is accurate. Under this
program, NATC monitors the carrier's accident information and roadside
inspection information to ensure that only accurate data is placed in the
carrier's file. This program has been very successful in assisting the
carrier to improve both its accident ratio and vehicle inspection numbers.
Certificated carrier operations, which include both common and contract
carriers, are monitored by NATC to ensure that liability issues which arise
from using such carriers are minimized. While most carriers are required
under their contract to notify the shipper when a change occurs in their
safety rating or other safety status, most carriers are reluctant to make
such notification. This service is intended to ensure that such information
is forwarded to the interested parties in an expeditious and accurate
manner.
If you have unique requirements in this area,
