If you read yesterday's post, you know that I talked a lot about our work with carriers who obtained USDOT numbers during 2009. Well, it turns out that when Kathy and I were comparing notes on these carriers yesterday afternoon, we discovered a glitch in our contact procedures that resulted in 80 of our 489 unregistered "new guys" never having been contacted about UCR. So, of course, we remedied that immediately. But it points to the fact that no matter how diligent we are, we must continue to look for improvements and "cracks".
On another note, I recently identified timelines for "getting to zero" assuming certain rates of "clearance" of our unregistered carriers. Following up on that theme, we are only averaging a "clear rate" of about 8 carriers per day, which technically has us "getting to zero" sometime in August. Not cool. Hopefully, that daily "clear rate" will improve as we "dry up the lake".
Finally, we are approaching the "rare air" of 94% registration. With any luck, we'll hit it tomorrow, but anything can happen. We started December at 93.02% and trailed Maine by .27%, so I'm really happy with the month we've had. I'll recap December tomorrow.
