52) If a terminal owner revokes certifications for a driver does this prevent the driver from accessing the terminal? Or does the terminal owner need to issue a terminal lockout and order to prevent access to the facility?

Automatic lockouts that prevent a driver access at the terminal are controlled by the TAS (Guardian) system. Certificates map to expirations in Guardian. Expirations in Guardian can be configured to have different behaviors. If a lockout happens in the Guardian system, it is displayed in Partner Insights. If a user specifically marks a driver or vehicle for lockout in Partner Insights, it is set in Guardian.

53) In the event a driver quits working for a carrier should the carrier deactivate the driver? Deactivating the driver will disable access to any terminals previously authorized for. The driver will still be available in the system and can be reactivated at any time. This maintains the driver record and associated documentation for both the carrier and terminal owner to meet compliance regulations. If all the terminal owners where a driver record was shared delete the driver, then the carrier can delete the driver.

54) Can a supplier manage carrier access for the terminals they operate at? If the terminal owner has enabled carrier access control for the supplier than the supplier can control what carriers access the terminal.
