A Slow - But "Educational" - Day In UCR Paradise

Unregistered Carriers on 6/9/2009 - 3723
Unregistered Carriers on 6/10/2009 - 3725
Yesterday's Registrations (IL system) - 11 / $1,313 (avg $119)
Deactivations Requested - 4

As you can see, we received slightly more carrier "additions" yesterday than the number of carriers we were able to remove from our list, so the two sets of carriers kind of offset each other.

On a slightly different note, I must admit that I'm a little baffled as to how some carriers "arrive" on my unregistered list. I suspect that SAFESTAT and MCMIS are not in synch regarding inspections and crashes, because I can't find a correlation - at least not so far - between the information in the two systems, both of which are reflected on the SAFER web site. For instance, SAFER might show that a carrier has had an inspection - which places him on my unregistered list - but SAFESTAT (the inspection detail site) doesn't show any inspections for that period - or any other period. Admittedly, my education in this area is extremely limited, so a thousand pardons if I'm off base.

This brings me to another sort-of-related observation: yesterday, we had 15 additions to our unregistered list - and all but two were $39 carriers. Additions get on the list because the information is current - new USDOT Number, MCS-150 update, change of address, recent inspection, etc. - unlike a lot of already existing MCMIS records. My point: as we rotate carriers on and off the unregistered list, I suspect the real carrier list is going to be made up of a lot more small carriers than is currently reflected on the Retreat Factor Matrix (available upon request), which still includes a lot of old, yet-to-be-confirmed records.
