Watchlist & alerts

Alerts in plain English Pro

Add carriers one at a time or import your whole book, paste or CSV. Each alert reads in plain language: what moved, on which carrier, with the record behind it one click away. Not a raw data dump.

Watchlists and alerts are part of fleetfax Pro, opening soon. On Pro, every change gets flagged, down to the routine ones; a free account watches up to 3 carriers and hears about the serious changes.

The Pro alerts view: 'What moved on your book, 2 to review', with a blocking alert for a carrier whose authority was revoked and a caution for a replaced BIPD insurance filing, each with Reviewed, Watch closer and Move to do-not-use actions.

What moved on your book. Captured from fleetfax Pro: a blocking alert the day an authority was revoked, a caution for a replaced insurance filing, and the review actions next to each. Alerts read in plain language and link to the record that moved.

Alert and export views are captured from the product, July 2026. Built on the federal carrier record.

Booking-time snapshots

Go back to the day you booked the load Pro
