How to Sync Carrier Data from Highway

How to manually force a refresh of a carrier's data from Highway into polt.ai, when it helps, and what to check after the sync completes.

This article walks you through manually syncing a carrier's data from Highway, MCP, RMIS into polt.ai. Most syncs happen automatically, but occasionally you'll want to force a refresh.

When syncing helps:

  • The carrier just renewed insurance and the expired policy is still showing in polt.ai

  • The Highway assessment status was Fail or Incomplete, the carrier has resolved the issue, and you need the updated status to show

  • You see "External code" populated but other carrier data looks stale or missing

1. Open the carrier record

Find and open the carrier you want to sync.

2. Click the Highway tab

In the tab bar at the top of the carrier record, click Highway.

3. Review the last sync timestamp

Under Data synchronisation, you'll see the Last sync timestamp. If this is older than expected, a manual sync may be useful.

4. Click Sync data

Click the Sync data button. polt.ai pulls the latest information from Highway and updates the carrier record.

The sync usually completes within a minute. After it finishes:

  • Verify the Last sync timestamp updated

  • Check the Insurance tab to see if updated policies appear

  • Check the Assessment Result pill at the top of the page for any status change

Important: If the carrier's Highway record itself is wrong (e.g., insurance is genuinely expired, ELD is disconnected, etc.), syncing won't change anything.

The fix has to happen on the Highway side — see Onboarding a new carrier through Highway and the linked Highway documentation for troubleshooting.
