Frequently Asked Questions
How many carriers does the package tracker support?
Package Tracker supports 345+ carriers worldwide including all major US carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS, Amazon Logistics), regional carriers, and international postal networks. You can batch-track shipments across multiple carriers in a single query.
Can I monitor supply chain disruptions in real time?
News pulls from live news sources and can be searched continuously for carrier announcements, port disruptions, weather events, and labor actions. Vessel Tracker provides real-time AIS data for ocean freight. Together they give you comprehensive visibility into supply chain risks.
Can I use these tools to research freight broker licenses?
Deep Research can help you find information about freight broker licensing requirements and look up broker authority status through FMCSA. For the definitive record, always verify directly through the FMCSA SAFER system at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov.
How do I use AI tools to handle a customs hold on an international shipment?
Deep Research can quickly look up the documentation typically required for the specific commodity and the nature of the hold. Compliance Screening can help assess if the shipper or consignee has any sanctions flags. For actual customs brokerage, you'll still need a licensed customs broker to file with CBP.
