Workflow examples

See how the carrier record fits your work.

These illustrative workflows show ways to use current DOT Intel tools. They are not attributed customer stories or measured results.

Retail producer

Build a trucking account list

  1. Filter motor carriers by state, fleet size, insurer, and estimated renewal timing.
  2. Open a carrier report to review authority, insurance filings, and safety context.
  3. Confirm the actual x-date and current coverage with the insured before discussing a quote.

Carrier underwriting

Prepare to review a submission

  1. Read the carrier's public authority, fleet, filing history, and published safety records together.
  2. Check source dates and missing-data notes before using a record in the review.
  3. Use the report alongside the application, schedules, and loss runs; it does not replace underwriting judgment.

Wholesaler or MGA

Bring context to a market conversation

  1. Start with the motor carrier record and the details relevant to the submission.
  2. Review observed insurer filing activity for similar fleets and locations.
  3. Ask the market about appetite rather than treating filing activity as a placement promise.

Carrier distribution

Research a trucking territory

  1. Compare observed carrier and insurer activity by state and fleet size.
  2. Look at the underlying filing dates and changes before drawing a trend conclusion.
  3. Use those observations to prepare questions for agency and territory planning.
