Unregistered Carriers on 11/12/2009 - 1709
Okay, so where was I ...? Oh yeah, our strategy for catching up with Maine, which I articulated in the last post as follows:
We're going to try to reduce our unregistered list as much as possible.
Here's my thinking, oversimplified for this illustration:
We need a net reduction of approximately 300 carriers from our unregistered list.
In looking at our unregistered list, we have approximately 350 carriers who haven't updated their MCS-150 in at least two years. Some MCS-150 updates go all the way back to the early part of the millenium. Chances are good that these guys aren't even in business any longer.
Our goal will be to either register or deactivate these 350 carriers over the next three weeks.
We have a procedure we follow for deactivation, depending on whether the carrier is private or for-hire, incorporated or not, intrastate or not, etc. Our due diligence seems to be working because we haven't had any complaints yet regarding "premature deactivation". {:
And while I'm on this subject, I'd like to ask you a question. Which of these three scenarios is most beneficial to improving our registration percentage:
1) registering a carrier who is not on the unregistered list?
2) registering a carrier who IS on the unregistered list?
3) deactivating a carrier on the unregistered list?
In order, the most benefit goes to 2, 3 and 1 respectively. If you're remotely interested in the particular amount of benefit each provides, I'll be happy to share my "research" with you.
With 11 work days left in November, we could catch Maine by the end of the month ... if we reduce our unregistered list by a NET of 20-25 records per day.
So, now you know my strategy! And I have a new mantra, too. With apologies to the late Johnny Cochrane, here it is:
"If you don't registrate ... you must de-activate."
