Steps to an Optimized Transportation Network Improve Safety

01

Standardize

The USMPO has developed a set of tools and protocols to optimize the efficiency of HHG transportation. By centralizing a dispatch database, less shipments are left in warehouses, and more shipments are on the road. The USMPO has standardized moving rates. It is the shippers responsibility to know their base. If you know the rate, you’re protected from getting underquoted and overcharged.

02

Verify

The USMPO verifies and regularly audits carriers to ensure the accordance of best practices and ethical customer service procedures. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and Department of Transportation licenses thousands of carriers each year. The USMPO’s duty is to condense their list by eliminating bad performers and certifying top service providers.

03

Regulate

Verification alone is not enough without continued regulation. With over 7,000 licensed movers in the FMCSA database, its hard to regulate each company for its ethics. In response to the FMCSA’s request, we are narrowing their list to highlight the companies that are proven to provide ethical business practices and have no records of unjustified price increases or fraudulent complaints.
