CarrierOK is a carrier qualification and compliance platform used by freight brokers to evaluate and onboard carriers quickly. It checks key carrier data points — FMCSA safety scores, insurance certificates, authority status, and incident history — including Freight Guard reports sourced from RMIS. If your MC number has a Freight Guard report attached to it, CarrierOK will surface it to every broker running a check on your company.
Here's what you need to know about how those reports get there and how to get them removed.
CarrierOK streamlines carrier onboarding and ongoing compliance monitoring for freight brokers. Instead of manually checking multiple data sources, brokers use CarrierOK to get a consolidated view of a carrier's qualifications in one place. This efficiency is valuable for brokers — but it means that any negative data point, including a Freight Guard report, is immediately visible and can trigger an automatic disqualification flag.
CarrierOK integrates with RMIS to pull Freight Guard incident data. Any report filed against your MC through the Freight Guard system will appear in your CarrierOK carrier profile.
Why a Report on CarrierOK Hurts Your Business
Brokers using CarrierOK make onboarding and load assignment decisions based on what they see in the platform. A Freight Guard report creates an immediate obstacle:
Onboarding rejection: New brokers running carrier checks through CarrierOK will see the report and may refuse to onboard you entirely.
Existing relationships at risk: Brokers who already work with you and run periodic compliance checks may flag your profile and reduce or stop load offers.
Automated disqualification: Some brokers configure CarrierOK to auto-disqualify carriers with open Freight Guard reports, meaning no human reviews your case at all.
Compounding damage: As fewer brokers offer loads, your operating consistency suffers — which can lead to additional complaints and more reports.
What Makes a Report Eligible for Removal?
Freight Guard reports on CarrierOK can be removed by successfully disputing them at the RMIS level. Reports qualify for removal when:
The facts stated in the report are inaccurate or fabricated
The reporting party cannot provide documentation to support their allegations
The report was filed outside of RMIS's permitted submission timeframe
An underlying cargo claim or billing dispute has since been resolved
The report was filed retaliatorily or in bad faith
The report violates RMIS reporting policies or FCRA provisions
Step-by-Step: Removing a Freight Guard Report from CarrierOK
Pull your full RMIS record. Log into the RMIS carrier portal and retrieve the complete details of every report filed against your MC or DOT number. Note the reporting entity, date, allegation, and any documentation they submitted.
Exercise your FCRA data access rights. Request your complete Freight Guard consumer file from RMIS. You are entitled to this under federal law, and it often contains more detail than what appears in the standard view.
Assemble your evidence file. Collect all documentation relevant to the load: BOLs, delivery confirmations, driver logs, GPS data, email correspondence, and cargo claim records.
Submit a formal dispute to RMIS. File a written dispute challenging the report's accuracy. Each allegation must be addressed with specific counter-evidence. Broad or unsupported denials are routinely rejected.
Pursue resolution with the reporting party. In parallel, contact the broker or shipper that filed the report. Resolving the underlying issue often leads to a voluntary retraction, which is typically the fastest path to removal.
Appeal using FCRA if initially denied. A denial from RMIS is not final. Escalate by invoking FCRA accuracy requirements, which obligate RMIS to re-investigate and require the reporting party to verify their claims.
Verify the update on CarrierOK. Once RMIS confirms removal, check your CarrierOK profile within a few business days to confirm the report no longer appears.

Can a Freight Guard report on CarrierOK be removed?
Yes. Freight Guard data displayed on CarrierOK originates from RMIS. Successfully disputing the report through RMIS removes it from CarrierOK and every other platform that draws from the same database.
Do I need to contact CarrierOK directly to remove a report?
No. CarrierOK does not control the Freight Guard database. Disputes must be filed with RMIS. Once RMIS updates the record, CarrierOK reflects the change automatically.
How long does it take to remove a report from CarrierOK?
Most removals are completed within 30 to 90 days. CarrierOK typically reflects RMIS updates within a few business days of the removal being processed.
What if my initial dispute is denied?
A denial is not final. You can escalate through the RMIS appeals process and invoke FCRA protections that require re-investigation. Our team handles appeals regularly and has strong success rates on second-round disputes.
