| Standard Carrier Alpha Code® (SCAC™) |
The Standard Carrier Alpha Code™ (SCAC®) is a unique two-to-four-letter code used to identify transportation companies. NMFTA developed the SCAC in the mid-1960's to facilitate computerization in the transportation industry.
Trucking companies, freight forwarders, and other companies that get assigned a code are assigned four letter codes. Railroads and bus companies are assigned two-, three- or four-letter codes.
The SCAC application is an online self-service portal that allows for easy management of these codes and other SCAC products.
