FROM THE DESK OF SCOTT
S
ince the beginning of Truckstop.com
back in 1995, the primary goal of the
company was to help others succeed
in business by making it easier for
them to conduct their business
through the help of programs offered
by Truckstop.com. Since then,
Truckstop.com has grown, but our
commitment remains the same in helping others
succeed in business.
One of those commitments is to make sure
Truckstop.com is safer for those using the
products and to help you avoid those who might
want to take advantage of your business in an
unscrupulous manner. Unfortunately, since
the very day Truckstop.com began, there were
already those who would trawl the Internet
looking for ways to bilk money from people
trying to make an honest living.
Our latest step to make things more safe
was to ask our account holders to verify their
email addresses. Our Account Safety Initiative
matches our active users to their active emails
and adds an additional layer of security to their
Truckstop.com account and our marketplace.
As I said before, since Truckstop.com began
in 1995 we have strived to make sure our site
is the safest it possibly can be for you and your
business. We continually offer such products like
CACCI and our Carrier Performance Rating
to make your knowledge of those with whom
you deal safer. CACCI includes the Carrier
Performance Reporting score (Truckstop.com's
own proprietary carrier rating system) and
gives insurance updates through our Carrier
Insurance Verification Services.
For carriers, we have programs like CreditStop,
which allows you to decide which brokers
and shippers are the best fit for your business.
CreditStop gives access to Truckstop.com's
huge broker and shipper credit databases and
lets carriers see credit scores, view days-to-pay
information and see how much experience a
broker or shipper has.
Providing this information is just our way of
helping keep the trucking and transportation
industry free from predators. By providing
information about unacceptable activities,
we make the trucking industry a little
more transparent.
We continually post alerts on our Web
page. Many of those alerts come from clients
of Truckstop.com. If you are aware of specific
scams or fraudulent activities (which haven't
yet been reported) we urge you to provide
us with the details by sending us an email at
security@truckstop.com.

Safety
