DOTScreener vs Carrier Assure
Carrier Assure grades carriers with an A–F performance score built from FMCSA data, tracking data, related-entity checks and user reports. It describes itself as an interpretation layer rather than an onboarding tool.
Who it's for: Brokers and carriers. Shippers are listed on their site as "coming soon."
Where Carrier Assure is strong
- A simple A–F score that compares each carrier to similar-sized peers and is recalculated daily.
- Tracking data from project44 feeds into the score.
- A free Individual plan and a published Premium price.
- A Chrome extension and partnerships with platforms like Descartes MyCarrierPortal and RMIS.
When DOTScreener is the better fit
- You need COIs actually read and checked. Carrier Assure's own FAQ says it does not yet vet insurance policies, only FMCSA insurance data.
- You're a shipper and need a tool built for you today.
- You want a documented selection record, not just a score: a timestamped, hash-chained Carrier Selection Record on every screen.
- You onboard carriers and want the packet, e-signature and screening in one place.

Questions
What's the main difference between DOTScreener and Carrier Assure?

DOTScreener screens the carrier against your own policy, reads their insurance certificate, and saves a timestamped Carrier Selection Record of exactly what you reviewed. That record is what you need if a selection is ever questioned.
Does Carrier Assure check insurance certificates?
Per Carrier Assure's own FAQ, it does not yet vet insurance policies; it analyzes FMCSA insurance data. DOTScreener reads uploaded COIs with AI and checks that the named insured matches the carrier you're screening.

Carrier Assure lists a free Individual plan and Premium at $149/month per account after an offer period. DOTScreener is $99/month plus $14.99/month per additional user with unlimited screens, and starts with a 14-day free trial.
