Verify

Verify if a carrier has been observed within 150 miles of an origin, destination, or along the lane within the last 90 days.

This information can help to mitigate fraud and ensure accurate capacity claims during the carrier vetting process.

Logic

Check to see if a carrier has been observed within 150 miles of an

1. Origin

2. Destination

3. Or along the lane in between

If any of the three checks are true, then the carrier is verified. GenLogs uses sensor data to confirm carrier locations along with other third party data sets.

Note: It is generally recommended to 'reward' carriers when verified is true but not to 'penalize' them when verified is false.
