The carriers shippers trust most
The FourKites Premier Carrier Program recognizes brokers, carriers, and 3PLs worldwide who achieve the highest tracking quality standards on the platform. Premier Carriers don't just move freight. They prove it, in real time, every load.
What premier means
A standard built on objective performance metrics, creating value across the entire supply chain ecosystem.
Objective & Earned
Carriers achieve it by maintaining consistently high tracking quality across their FourKites shipper customers. The criteria are objective, data-driven, and transparent.
For Shippers
The Premier Carrier list is a sourcing tool. When you need a new carrier for a lane, you can filter by mode, region, and commodity to find carriers with proven visibility performance. No RFP required to verify tracking capability.
For Carriers
Premier status is a competitive differentiator. Thousands of shippers on the FourKites platform can see your Premier badge. It signals operational maturity and a commitment to visibility that sets you apart in a crowded market.
