Listing of Commercial Carriers and Shippers

Listing of Commercial Carriers and Shippers was a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) reference page listing points of contact for the commercial carriers used to move DLA depot shipments. It lived inside DLA's Distribution Standard System (DSS) MRO status-tracking site hosted on a DLA Information Operations server at Ogden, Utah — the same family of tools DLA customers use to check where a requisition or shipment currently stands.

What it is

The linked page (dlacarrierspoclist.htm) was a carrier point-of-contact list attached to DLA's DSS-MRO (Distribution Standard System — Material Release Order) shipment-status tools. Those tools let a requester enter a Transportation Control Number (TCN) or requisition number to see the carrier, tracking number, and origin/destination for a shipment released from a DLA depot; the carrier POC page supplemented that by giving contact information for the carriers themselves.

Who operates it

DLA Information Operations at Ogden hosted the DSS-MRO tooling this page belonged to, as part of DLA's broader Distribution Standard System, which supports the warehouse and shipping operations of DLA's distribution depots.

Access

As archived in this directory, the page required no login — consistent with DLA's general practice of keeping shipment-status self-help tools open to any customer with a requisition or TCN. The specific URL on record is dead: the wegal.ogden.disa.mil host does not respond, and a later successor address for the same DSS-MRO tracker (dssweb.dla.mil) is also unreachable. DLA now directs customers to its own "Find Your Order" self-help page for requisition and shipment-status tools, which is the current official starting point.

How logisticians use it

When a shipment appeared delayed or a carrier needed to be reached directly — rather than just checking status — logisticians used a carrier POC list like this to get a phone number or point of contact for the carrier itself. For most day-to-day "where is my shipment" questions, DLA's Customer Interaction Center (1-877-DLA-CALL / dlacontactcenter@dla.mil) is the current all-purpose channel, staffed 24/7 as DLA's one-call resolution point for supply and shipment questions.

Related systems

Carrier identification in DoD shipping generally runs through Standard Carrier Alpha Codes (SCAC), a carrier-numbering system maintained by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) and referenced throughout the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR) Part II (Cargo Movement). DLA's shipment-status tools (DSS-MRO / Materiel Tracker, WebVLIPS) are the broader family this carrier-contact page belonged to.
