Know which carrier on your book is slipping toward a threshold — months before renewal, not the week it lands.
CSA Sentry checks your book against FMCSA data every month and emails you the moment a carrier slips toward a renewal problem — surcharge, non-renewal, or a missed threshold.

Example dashboard: 6 carriers monitored, 3 flagged for attention, 2 at threshold. Black Mesa Freight has let its insurance on file lapse and renews July 17. Vandelay Industries has an Hours-of-Service measure of 68, at or above FMCSA's 65 intervention threshold.

FAQ
Questions agents ask first.
Will I have one more dashboard to babysit?
No. There’s nothing to sign into and check. We watch your book against FMCSA data every month and email you only when a carrier slips toward a renewal problem. Quiet months stay quiet.
What does this actually save me from?
The carrier on your book that quietly drifts, then gets repriced or non-renewed at renewal and blindsides you and your client. You see it coming with months to act, instead of finding out the week the renewal lands.
Why pay when FMCSA data is free?
The data’s free. Catching the one carrier on your book that’s drifting, early enough to act before renewal, is the part worth $49 a month. We pull the official records every month so you don’t check 100 carriers by hand and still miss the one that bites at renewal.
Isn’t this just CAB?
No. CAB is a deep database built for the underwriting desk. CSA Sentry does one thing for the small agency: it watches the book you already wrote and tells you, in plain renewal language, what changed. From $49 a month.
Is this made for a shop my size, or for brokers?
Made for you. Carrier411 helps brokers vet a carrier before they book a load. CSA Sentry watches the book a 1–5 person agency already wrote, every month, in renewal terms. That’s the whole job, and it’s the one we built.
What if I try it and it’s not for me?
Then you cancel. No card to start, so there’s nothing on the line. It’s monthly, no contract, no per-lookup fees, and your watch runs to the end of the period. You’d also be one of the first agencies to put a book on watch this way.
