Unregistered Carriers on 6/4/2009 - 3823
Yesterday's Registrations (IL system) - 25 / $2435 (avg $97)
Deactivations Requested - 8
Starting today, we will report the number of daily carrier deactivations we requested the previous day. Deactivations are important, because they represent carriers who appear to be operating according to MCMIS, but who have really gone out of business - or, at least, gone out of the interstate business. We suspect that a certain number of our unregistered carriers are not really in business, but until we either register them, deactivate them or re-classify them, they will continue to "haunt" us by hanging around on our unregistered list.
Deactivation can happen two ways: 1) a carrier requests deactivation or 2) we determine, through a certain amount of due diligence, that the carrier is no longer in business.
Most of our deactivations come about as a result of carrier requests. We contact a carrier to register them, they tell us they are out of business, and they send us a request to deactivate their DOT Number so we'll leave them alone in the future. The important point there is that an actual "deactivation conversation" takes place. Nice and clean.
I'll talk more about the other method of deactivation in my next post.
