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.

The supply chains that adopt autonomous execution in the next 24 months will define the competitive standard for the next decade. The ones that do not will spend that decade trying to catch up.
