    • Partner integrations: I know they are newer on the scene but an option for Carrier Assure as an integration partner. We really need a way to get FreightGuard reports into PB. I know C411 has historically been close chested on this information and others are now offering FreightGuard-esque reports in their products, but FG has been around a very long time, and we do rely on them over some of the others that newer vendors like Highway that offer these reports.

    • A way to highlight if a carrier is able to be on high value freight or not. We're currently developing a solution around this but would be nice if there was a checkbox for high value or a rubric to add that would reduce the pool of carriers that are approved for high value that could then be folded into the carrier quals.

    • Add some gates or options to DQ a carrier based on authority active date (this may be handled with custom quals which we don't have in our version).

    • VIN verification

    • A way to detect changes in FMCSA data whether that be through a warning on the carrier master that then flows to the load (if a change is detected on a carrier that is active on a load). Maybe the FMCSA detection changes stem from the integration partner but either way those changes should flow into PB and then be highlighted in the system as a warning or require user intervention to take action on the carrier. (control file that allows each customer to determine how they want to handle alerts i.e. - warn at change or 'no dispatch' at change or some hybrid of those).

    • A way to DQ carriers that use a certain insurance carrier. I.E. - progressive

    • A way to warn or highlight carriers that have contacts that have certain initials.

    • A setting (maybe control file) that sets a carrier to no dispatch after being dormant after a period of time (should be a configurable setting but could be something like no loads moved within the last 24months). We could create a FLX routine for this but would be cool if the system detected that.

    • Phone# validation - when a phone # is entered in carrier dispatch, validate the phone number as being a cell of a driver vs. a landline or VOIP

    If any of this is already in PB web or versions later than 20.1 of PB, feel free to file this in file 13. ;)
