Know the day their insurance lapses.

Not 30 days later, on the next renewal check. CarrierOk watches every carrier in your book against the FMCSA source record and tells you the day an insurance policy, an authority, or a risk signal moves against you.

The short answer

A factor's exposure is the gap between a carrier's insurance or authority lapsing and anyone noticing. CarrierOk watches every carrier in your book against the federal record and reports a lapse, a revocation or a new risk signal the same day it is published, rather than at the next renewal check.

What moves against you
An insurance policy cancelled, operating authority revoked, a BASIC crossing its intervention threshold, or an identity signal linking the carrier to a revoked entity.
When you hear
The same day the filing publishes, in the app and through the API, so an open invoice is not funded against a carrier that lost coverage last week.
Before you fund
The full profile answers whether the carrier is who it says it is: five identifying attributes checked against every other registrant, each match named.
Across the book
Monitoring is priced per carrier watched, so the whole portfolio can stay under watch rather than the handful somebody remembers to re-check.
Finding new clients
The directory filters the registry by authority age, equipment and insurance renewal timing, so the same record that protects the book also builds the pipeline.
The exposure window

Where a factor gets exposed.

When a carrier in your book lets their insurance lapse, or has their operating authority revoked, you are exposed on every open invoice in their name. On a monthly check cycle, that exposure sits unseen for as long as 30 days.

CarrierOk watches FMCSA source feeds and re-ingests when an update is published, so a lapse reaches you the same day it reaches the record. You find out when FMCSA finds out, not on your next scheduled pass.

A very easily searchable and flexible up-to-date database we can rely on more than even the DOT itself. The API enables us to use specific data fields to automate our internal back office and client facing processes.

All the data I need for underwriting decisions in one dashboard. The API integration into Salesforce was seamless — and CarrierOk's reputation as the superior data source is exactly why I switched from Carrier411.

How it works

How a factor uses CarrierOk.

Three steps, and the third one runs without you.

01

Verify at invoice submission

Pull operating status, insurance status and the full risk signal set when a carrier submits. Identity-network flags catch a carrier that re-registered under a new DOT number to shed a prior history.

02

Add the book to monitoring

Every carrier you fund goes on the monitoring list, from a profile or synced through the API. From then on, CarrierOk watches them for you.

03

Get the same-day alert

Insurance cancelled, authority revoked, a new risk signal: it reaches your Monitoring feed the day it lands, or the API if you would rather poll for what changed.

Fraud Detection

The signals that cost factors the most.

CarrierOk computes 50+ signals across the full dataset rather than the single carrier record, which is how it catches patterns that look ordinary in isolation.

Chameleon carriers

A phone number, address, EIN or DUNS shared with other DOT numbers, the fingerprint of an operation that re-registered to shed a history. See how the detection works.

Why it matters to a factor: the history you underwrote against belongs to a different DOT number.

Insurance gap history

Prior lapses in the carrier's record, even when coverage is currently in force. A carrier that has lapsed before is materially more likely to lapse again.

Why it matters to a factor: it prices the risk of the next gap, not just the state of this one.

Authority cycling

Authority revoked and reinstated more than once, a pattern associated with compliance avoidance rather than administrative error.

Why it matters to a factor: repeat revocation is the clearest predictor of an abrupt exit.

Of 351,429 carriers with active authority and insurance on file on May 1, 2025, 18% had an authority revoked and 26% lost insurance coverage for more than 30 days by April 30, 2026 (FMCSA licensing and insurance records, measured in the CarrierOk warehouse). 15% of the open balance lost on each lapse is our estimate; your own loss experience is a better input.

Factoring & Financial Services FAQ
CarrierOk is a carrier intelligence platform used to underwrite and monitor the carriers a factor funds. It consolidates the FMCSA record on any motor carrier or broker and adds the scoring FMCSA does not publish: all 7 BASIC percentiles, a computed ISS score, 50+ named risk signals, and policy-level insurance history, with monitoring that reports changes the same day. The same record is delivered however you consume it: a REST API, the web app, a Chrome extension, or bulk files. Factoring teams use it to close the gap between a policy lapsing and the invoice being funded.
CarrierOk watches FMCSA source feeds and re-ingests when an update is published, throughout the day rather than on a fixed schedule. For monitored carriers, an alert for an insurance lapse or policy change is delivered the same day the change is detected.
Yes. The identity-network check runs across every registrant in the dataset and flags when a phone number, address, email, EIN or DUNS number is shared with other DOT numbers. When a carrier appears to have re-registered under a new number while carrying forward risk from a prior operation, it is flagged in the risk signals with the count of DOTs involved.
Monitoring is capped per plan, and the cap is the number that matters for a factor, since every carrier you fund needs a slot. Pro covers 100 carriers at $149/mo, Team 750 at $349/mo, and Business 2,000 at $499/mo. The trial runs on Pro, so if you fund more than 100 carriers, book a demo instead and we will set up Team with your portfolio already loaded. Full plan details are on the pricing page.
Yes. The REST API returns all carrier data fields in one call. Factoring companies commonly use it two ways: verifying a carrier at the point of invoice submission, and polling the monitoring endpoints for what changed rather than re-pulling the whole book. API access is pay-as-you-go through the developer portal: a free sandbox to evaluate, then $50 activation applied as $50 of credit.
Carriers registered within the last 24 months are flagged as new entrants. New entrants have less inspection history and represent statistically higher risk. The profile also shows the full registration history, which is what surfaces authority cycling, revoked and reinstated more than once.
Yes. The New Registrants feed delivers newly authorised motor carriers daily with contact information, equipment type, fleet size and operating region, filterable by state. It is a separate bulk data product from the platform subscription.
