Trucking Record provides free, instant access to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) database. Our platform indexes over 460,000 active trucking companies, allowing the public to verify safety ratings, crash history, and insurance status before hiring a carrier.

Every day, thousands of commercial vehicles operate on US highways. While most operators are safe, federal data shows a significant variance in safety compliance. By searching a USDOT Number or MC Number on our registry, you can access a comprehensive "Forensic Profile" that includes:

● 24-Month Crash History: Detailed breakdown of fatal, injury, and tow-away accidents.
● Safety Rating: Official Satisfactory, Conditional, or Unsatisfactory status.
● Fleet Operations: Number of reported power units (trucks) and drivers.
● Inspection Metrics: Vehicle and driver out-of-service (OOS) rates compared to national averages.

We believe transparency saves lives. Whether you are a freight broker vetting a new partner, or a concerned citizen checking a local fleet, Trucking Record empowers you with official, unaltered government data.

Frequently Asked Questions

? What is a USDOT Number?

The USDOT number serves as a unique identifier when collecting and monitoring a company's safety information acquired during audits, compliance reviews, crash investigations, and inspections.

? How is the safety rating calculated?

Safety ratings are determined by the FMCSA based on compliance reviews. A rating of "Satisfactory" means the carrier has adequate safety management controls in place, while "Unsatisfactory" indicates serious non-compliance.

? Is this data official?

Yes, all data displayed on Trucking Record is sourced directly from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and updated monthly to ensure accuracy.

? What is the difference between MC and USDOT numbers?

A USDOT Number identifies carriers operating in interstate commerce while monitoring their safety management. An MC Number (Operating Authority) is required for for-hire carriers transporting regulated commodities across state lines.

? What counts as a "Tow-away" accident?

A tow-away accident is any crash where at least one vehicle is disabled and must be transported away from the scene by a tow truck or other vehicle. This is a key metric in a carrier's safety profile.

? Can I check carrier insurance status?

Yes. Through the FMCSA records indexed on our platform, you can verify if a carrier holds the required BIPD (Bodily Injury Property Damage) insurance coverage and whether their policy is currently active.
