SCAC Code
Standard Carrier Alpha Code registration and renewal - the 2-4 letter code shippers, brokers and ports require to do business with you.
A SCAC (Standard Carrier Alpha Code) is the 2-4 letter code that identifies your company on bills of lading, with shippers, brokers, ports and intermodal partners - and many won't load you without one. We register your SCAC, keep it renewed each year, and handle lookups and updates so the code is always active when a partner checks it.

SCAC Code - FAQ
What is a SCAC code and do I need one?
The Standard Carrier Alpha Code is a unique 2-4 letter identifier issued by the NMFTA. It's required for many shipper, broker, port, intermodal and government loads - if your partners ask for one, we register and maintain it for you.
Does a SCAC code need to be renewed?
Yes - SCAC codes are renewed annually. We track the renewal date and file it so your code stays active and you don't lose access to the loads that require it.
