Frequently Asked Trucking and Hauling Questions
Does ISNetworld apply to trucking companies?
Yes. Many shippers and utilities now require trucking and hauling contractors to maintain active ISNetworld accounts. It demonstrates your commitment to safety and compliance.
What is PHMSA?
PHMSA, or the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, is a U.S. Department of Transportation agency that regulates the safe transportation of hazardous materials and oversees the nation’s pipelines carrying natural gas, oil, and other hazardous liquids. PHMSA sets and enforces safety standards to protect workers, the public, and the environment, requiring strict compliance from pipeline operators, contractors, and hazmat shippers through programs, inspections, and training.

At a minimum, you must maintain up-to-date driver qualification files, document HOS records, conduct regular vehicle inspections, and ensure drivers meet training and medical requirements.
How do I keep my Veriforce and ISNetworld grades high?
Regular updates, accurate documentation, and strong written programs are key. Cascade QMS can manage these accounts for you and help improve your grades quickly. Keeping recordable incidents low with a solid safety program.
Compliance Matters more now than ever
Clients like Valero and other major energy producers have raised the bar on contractor prequalification, while PHMSA and FMCSA have increased scrutiny of fleet operations nationwide.
Contractors who fail to remain compliant risk:
- Disqualification from bidding on lucrative contracts
- Damaged reputation and lost trust with clients
- Higher insurance premiums and operational costs
- Breaching contracts and missing out on future opportunities
On the other hand, carriers who proactively manage their compliance stand out as reliable, trustworthy partners-improving their bottom line and winning more contracts.
A Real-World Example: Helping a Hauling Company Get Back on Track
One of our clients, a intrastate midstream pipeline trucking company specializing in bulk materials in a major Shale plays, was struggling to meet a shipper’s ISNetworld and Vero requirements while also dealing with inconsistent driver files and outdated written safety programs.
We assessed their existing documentation, created updated driver qualification file templates, rewrote their written safety programs, and managed their ISNetworld and Vero accounts to bring them into full compliance. Within 5 business days, their ISNet grade improved from a failing score to an “A,” and they were awarded two new contracts with major utility clients.
That’s the kind of result we deliver – so you can focus on keeping your trucks moving.
