How to Remove a Freight Guard Report on CarrierAssure
By Report Removers 411Updated: April 1, 20267 min read
CarrierAssure is a predictive carrier risk and performance platform that brokers and shippers use to qualify and monitor carriers. It aggregates data from multiple sources — including FMCSA records, insurance data, and Freight Guard incident reports from RMIS — to generate carrier risk scores and flag potential issues before a load is awarded. If your carrier profile has a Freight Guard report attached, CarrierAssure will factor it into your risk assessment and alert any broker checking your MC number.
This guide explains how reports end up on CarrierAssure, why they're so damaging, and the exact steps required to get them removed.
Unlike simple carrier lookup tools, CarrierAssure uses predictive analytics to assess the likelihood that a carrier will have a safety or performance incident. It scores carriers based on historical data patterns and real-time incident flags. Freight Guard reports contribute directly to a carrier's risk profile on CarrierAssure, and a carrier with an open report can see their score degraded significantly — triggering automatic flags in broker workflows built around CarrierAssure's API.
Because CarrierAssure is deeply integrated into broker decision-making systems, a single Freight Guard report can have a cascading effect across multiple brokerage relationships simultaneously.
How Freight Guard Reports Reach CarrierAssure
CarrierAssure sources Freight Guard data from RMIS (Registry Monitoring Insurance Services), the central database for carrier incident reports in the trucking industry. When a broker or shipper files a Freight Guard report through RMIS, it is incorporated into CarrierAssure's carrier risk data and surfaces in carrier profile views and risk scores.
To remove a report from CarrierAssure, you must dispute and remove it at the RMIS level. CarrierAssure has no mechanism to independently remove a report — the fix must happen at the source.
Why Freight Guard Reports Are Especially Damaging on CarrierAssure
CarrierAssure's risk-scoring model means a Freight Guard report doesn't just show up as a data point — it actively changes how brokers see your carrier. This creates several problems beyond a standard platform listing:
Risk score degradation: Your CarrierAssure score drops, making you appear higher-risk even to brokers who haven't seen the underlying report.
API-level blocking: Brokers using CarrierAssure's API to automate carrier selection may never manually review flagged carriers — your MC gets filtered out automatically.
Ongoing monitoring flags: CarrierAssure monitors carrier records continuously. Even after you think a relationship is stable, a new broker check can trigger a flag based on your open report.
Compounding across platforms: Because CarrierAssure aggregates from RMIS, the same report damages your profile on CarrierAssure, Carrier411, Highway, and other platforms simultaneously.
What Makes a Report Eligible for Removal?
Freight Guard reports can be removed from RMIS — and therefore from CarrierAssure — when they fall into one or more of the following categories:
The report contains factually false statements about the load, driver, or incident
The reporting party cannot produce documentation to support the allegations
The report was submitted outside RMIS's permitted reporting window
The underlying cargo claim or dispute has been resolved
The report was filed retaliatorily following a payment or billing disagreement
The report violates RMIS reporting standards or FCRA accuracy requirements
Step-by-Step: Removing a Freight Guard Report from CarrierAssure
Retrieve your full RMIS carrier record. Log into the RMIS portal and access every report on file for your MC or DOT number. Note the reporting entity, the date the report was filed, the nature of the allegations, and any supporting documents the reporter submitted.
Request your complete Freight Guard file under FCRA. You have the right to a full copy of your carrier report file from RMIS. Request it — this file often contains additional detail that strengthens your dispute.
Build a comprehensive evidence package. Pull together BOLs, proof of delivery receipts, driver logs, tracking data, photos, email records, and any other documentation that speaks directly to the allegations in the report.
File a formal written dispute with RMIS. Submit your dispute and attach all supporting evidence. Address each specific allegation in the report — do not submit a general denial. RMIS reviewers need concrete reasons and documentation to act in your favor.
Pursue direct resolution with the reporter. Contact the broker or shipper that filed the report. In many situations, an underlying cargo claim, short payment, or miscommunication can be resolved directly, leading to a voluntary retraction that speeds up the removal process significantly.
Invoke FCRA escalation if your dispute is denied. If RMIS denies your initial dispute, file a formal FCRA-based appeal requiring the reporting party to verify their claims. This process can overturn denials that would otherwise stand.
Confirm the update on CarrierAssure. After RMIS confirms the removal, allow a few business days for CarrierAssure to update your carrier risk profile and clear the flag from your record.
