The License Plate Lookup feature in the Visibility Control Center is a powerful tool for both Shippers and Carriers to verify the status of vehicles before and after transport.
This feature allows you to check up to 1,000 license plates in a single batch to determine:
Availability: Is the vehicle Known in your network and available for allocation?
Tracking Readiness: Is the vehicle Active or Inactive (no signal in 96 hours)?
By using this lookup pre-transport, you can avoid allocating transports to Unknown or Inactive vehicles, which significantly improves expected tracking compliance. Post-transport, the tool is essential for quickly diagnosing the root cause of any untracked transport.
Ready to start? The feature is available now in your Visibility Control Center.
