“As the U.S. transportation industry evaluates the implications of the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, documenting carrier vetting activities, establishing consistent review practices and demonstrating reasonable care in carrier selection is coming under greater scrutiny,” said Dan Cicerchi, EVP, Corporate & Operations Development at Descartes. “While carrier vetting and safety reviews have long been a critical component of transportation risk management, our new AuditLog capabilities help organizations establish more consistent governance around carrier selection while maintaining operational efficiency.”

Built directly into the Descartes MyCarrierPortal carrier onboarding and compliance solution, AuditLog combines carrier review management and audit logging in a single workflow, helping organizations create a clear record of carrier evaluations, management reviews and onboarding decisions. The solution automatically documents carrier risk assessment information, review activity, management oversight and outcomes at the time decisions are made, which preserves a historical record of carrier evaluations and onboarding decisions. This “snapshot in time” approach helps organizations maintain a record of what information was available and considered during the review process, as carrier profiles, safety records, operating authorities and risk factors may evolve over time.
