Managing Your Carriers on Yardor

Add carriers from the directory, approve applications, group carriers, and block a carrier when you have to.

The “My carriers” page in your warehouse console lists every carrier connected with your warehouse, their relationship status, and your carrier groups. Carriers get connected in several ways: they book an appointment with you, they apply to work with you, they accept your invitation — or you add them yourself from the directory, which this article covers first.

Add a carrier from the directory#

1. Open “My carriers” in your warehouse console and tap “Add a carrier”.
2. Search the directory by company name, USDOT number, or MC number. A USDOT or MC number finds the exact company fastest.
3. Check the match — name, carrier number, USDOT / MC — then tap “Add”.
4. The carrier is in your list right away, marked active. From there you can open their relationship detail page to add them to a carrier group, reserve dock capacity for them, and book appointments on their behalf.

If the search result already shows a status (for example “Application pending” or “Active”), that carrier is already connected with your warehouse — tap “View in list” instead of adding again. A carrier you previously blocked cannot be re-added here; unblock them on their relationship detail page first if you want to work with them again.

Can’t find the carrier?#

A carrier appears in the directory once it has registered on Yardor or been imported from FMCSA records. If your carrier is not there yet, invite them to join Yardor — once they accept your invitation, they appear in your list automatically, already active.

Applications, groups, and blocking#

• When a carrier applies to work with you, the relationship shows as “Application pending” — open the relationship and tap “Approve” on its detail page to activate it.
• Carrier groups let you treat several carriers as one — groups are what capacity reservations point at when you reserve dock time for a set of carriers. Edit a carrier’s groups on its relationship detail page: tick the groups it belongs to and save. Reservation rules only pick a group; they do not edit group membership.
• Blocking stops a carrier from making new bookings with you; their history stays visible. Blocking and unblocking are done on the relationship detail page. A reason is required to block — you cannot submit without one — and your team can see it later. Unblocking restores the relationship to active.

Insurance certificates (COI)#

Each carrier relationship carries the carrier’s certificate of insurance (COI). The carrier uploads it from their own portal — “My warehouses” → your warehouse → Insurance certificate (COI) — together with its expiry date. You see the same certificate in the COI section of that carrier’s relationship detail page (open the carrier from “My carriers”), with its status: in date, expires soon, or expired. You cannot edit or delete the carrier’s certificate; if it is missing or expired, ask the carrier to upload a current one.

Thirty days before the expiry date, Yardor emails both sides a reminder, so a renewal rarely comes as a surprise. When the carrier uploads a renewed certificate with a new expiry date, the status updates right away.
