Make Integrity Visible
In today’s market, carriers are often evaluated on price, availability, and surface-level compliance.
But those factors don’t tell the full story.
Two carriers can look the same on paper — and operate very differently in practice.
CIP exists to close that gap.
It provides independent verification that a carrier operates in a consistent, transparent, and compliant manner.
What CIP Is
The Carrier Integrity Pact (CIP) is an independent designation.
It is not a membership
It is not an association
It is not something you can buy
Designation is granted, not purchased.
What CIP Does
CIP evaluates how a carrier actually operates by examining:
Workforce structure
Payroll and compensation practices
Insurance alignment
Ownership and control
Operational and safety systems
These areas are reviewed together — not in isolation.
The objective is simple:
confirm that what a carrier says matches how it actually operates.
How the Process Works
1. Application Submission
You provide structured information about your operation.
2. Review & Cross-Check
Key areas of your business are compared for internal consistency.
3. Verification
Where required, CIP may request:
supporting documentation
management discussions
driver or staff interviews
site visits
4. Designation Decision
Based on whether the operation meets the standard.
What CIP Is Looking For
CIP is not looking for perfect operations.
It is looking for:
Transparency
Consistency
Alignment
Past issues do not automatically disqualify a carrier.
Lack of disclosure does.
How Involved Is the Process?
The process is thorough by design.
Some sections are straightforward.
Others go deeper, particularly:
Workforce structure
Payroll practices
Insurance alignment
These are critical because they define how a carrier actually operates.
If your operation is structured properly, the process is manageable.
If it isn’t, the process will expose that.
What You Receive
Carriers who meet the standard are designated as:
CIP-Designated Carriers
This signals that the operation:
has been independently reviewed
demonstrates structural integrity
aligns its workforce, payroll, and insurance practices
Who CIP Is For
CIP is designed for carriers who are willing to:
be transparent
be consistent
stand behind how they operate
It’s not about proving you’re perfect.
It’s about proving you’re real.
Current Status
CIP is currently in its founding phase, working with a select group of carriers and industry stakeholders.
