Introduction
Carrier ratings help maintain trust and accountability across the Super Dispatch marketplace. After completing a load, shippers can rate carriers to share their experience, help other shippers make informed decisions, and promote reliable partnerships.
What Are Carrier Ratings?
Ratings allow shippers to evaluate carriers after a completed load. These ratings are visible across the platform and reflect a carrier's reliability, communication, and overall performance.

Step 1: Open the Carrier Profile
In Shipper TMS, navigate to the carrier's profile using the Carrier Management section or from a previously completed load.

How Carrier Ratings Are Published
Carrier ratings are handled differently depending on whether the feedback is positive or negative.
| Rating Type | Visibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Positive | Published immediately | Visible to all users as soon as submitted |
| Negative | Pending for 10 days | Allows time for review or dispute before becoming public |
Who Can Rate Carriers?
Any Shipper TMS user with the Update Carrier Profile permission can submit ratings. This permission is enabled by default for Admins and Dispatchers.
Can I Edit or Delete a Rating?
Yes. Ratings can be edited or deleted at any time by returning to the carrier's profile and selecting the edit icon in the Ratings section.
How to Dispute a Negative Rating
