Unregistered Carriers on 03/18/2010 - 656
Illinois - 96.98%
Maine - 96.30%
Indiana - 92.22%
Alabama - 91.80%
Kentucky - 89.83%
Barring a catastrophe, we're going to go over 97% tomorrow. As you know, I'm estimating a one percent per month improvement in our registration percentage, with the 21st of the month being the actual measurement date. Since the 21st of this month is a Sunday, we're right on target!
Some interesting things are happening with regard to this phase of the UCR5000 project, which I like to refer to as "drying up the lake".
First, lots more carriers are contacting us requesting that their USDOT number be deactivated. This seems to be the direct result of our "relentless" contact efforts. The beauty of these types of requests ("please deactivate my USDOT number") is that there is no potentially-contentious procedure discussion between us and the Feds. The carrier's request to deactivate is all either one of us need for justification.
Second, we are increasingly able to "zero in" on the remaining folks and actually intensify our efforts at getting them registered. Rest assured that we are not going to stop contacting them until we 1) register them, 2) deactivate them or 3) bust them. We really are trying to stop short of busting them unless we can establish that they are just "thumbing their noses at us".
656 unregistered carriers seems, in some ways, like a lot, but compared to where we started, it's looking more and more manageable!
