Minimum-security-criteria tracking — organize evidence against CBP's CTPAT criteria categories so you can show compliance point by point.
CTPAT status is valuable — faster border crossings, fewer exams, FAST-lane eligibility — but keeping the program audit-ready is a documentation grind: inspection logs, training records, security-criteria evidence, and an annual review, all of which CBP can ask to see. TruckerPro organizes that program in one place so your CTPAT status is defensible at any moment, not just reconstructed the week before a validation.
Minimum-security-criteria tracking — organize evidence against CBP's CTPAT criteria categories so you can show compliance point by point.
Conveyance & IIT inspections — log the required tractor, trailer, and instrument-of-international-traffic inspections with photos, dates, and driver sign-off.
Driver security training records — track who completed security-awareness training and when, with renewal reminders.
Annual security profile review — schedule and document the yearly review CTPAT requires, with a history you can produce on demand.
Audit-ready export — pull a complete, dated evidence package for a CBP validation or revalidation instead of assembling it from scattered files.
One system with your operations — inspections and driver records tie into the same platform that runs dispatch and compliance, so CTPAT is not a separate island of paperwork.
Carriers rarely lose CTPAT status because their security is bad — they lose it because they cannot prove it. CBP validation is a documentation exercise: show the inspection logs, show the training records, show the annual review, show the evidence for each security criterion. Programs run on spreadsheets and binders fall down here, because the records are incomplete, undated, or scattered across people who have since left.
Managing the program in software fixes the proof problem. Every inspection, training completion, and review is captured as it happens, with dates and attribution, so the evidence exists continuously rather than being reconstructed under deadline pressure before a validation.
A defensible highway-carrier CTPAT program produces a specific set of records, and the software should keep all of them current:
Book a walkthrough or start your trial and get dispatch, compliance, files, and integrations in one platform.
Start Free TrialIt is software that helps a carrier run and document its Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program — tracking evidence against CBP's minimum security criteria, logging the required conveyance and container inspections, recording driver security training, and managing the annual security-profile review. The goal is to keep the program continuously audit-ready for a CBP validation or revalidation.
CTPAT is a voluntary US Customs and Border Protection supply-chain security program. For highway carriers, membership brings benefits like a reduced likelihood of examination, front-of-line processing, and FAST-lane eligibility at the border — all of which speed up cross-border freight. Keeping the status requires maintaining and documenting the security measures CBP's criteria call for.
No. CTPAT applications and the security profile are submitted through CBP's CTPAT Portal. This software manages the ongoing program behind that status — the inspections, training, evidence, and annual review — so that what you attest to in the portal is backed by real, current records you can produce during a validation.
A validation asks you to demonstrate your security practices with evidence. Because the software captures inspections, training, and reviews continuously with dates and attribution, you can export a complete, organized evidence package on demand — instead of spending the weeks before a validation reconstructing a year of activity from emails and binders.
Yes. Drivers and yard staff can log the required tractor, trailer, and instrument-of-international-traffic inspections, including photos and results, against each conveyance. The records are dated and attributed, which is exactly what a validation wants to see.
They are related but distinct. CTPAT is the US CBP program; Partners in Protection (PIP) is the Canadian CBSA equivalent, and the two have a mutual-recognition arrangement. FAST (Free and Secure Trade) is the expedited-lane program that generally requires the carrier, driver, and importer to be in CTPAT/PIP. TruckerPro helps you keep the underlying security program documented regardless of which of these you participate in.
