Every check a broker runs, on one carrier profile
Stop juggling SAFER, insurance filings and inspection reports in five tabs. Each profile answers the three questions that matter before you tender: can they legally haul your load, are they safe, and are they who they say they are.
Can they legally haul your load?
- Authority
Operating authority and insurance
Authority by type, plus liability coverage checked against the federal minimum.
- Equipment
Fleet size on the federal record
Power units, trucks and trailers exactly as the company reported them to FMCSA.
- Operations
Where and what they haul
Cargo types, operating radius, and whether they run interstate or intrastate.
Are they safe?
- Safety
Out-of-service rates vs. the national average
Vehicle and driver out-of-service rates and crash history from the last 24 months, set against the national benchmark.
Are they who they say they are?
- Fraud
Shared-identity checks
Other USDOT numbers using the same phone, email or street address are flagged — a common sign of double brokering and chameleon carriers.

Carrier lookup FAQ
What brokers and shippers ask before they trust a carrier check.
How do I look up a trucking company by USDOT or MC number?
Type the USDOT number, MC number or company name into the search box. You land on the carrier's profile with its verdict, authority, insurance, safety record and fleet — no account needed.
Is Carrier Directory free?
Yes. Every carrier and broker profile is free to view, and you don't need to log in.
Where does the data come from?
From FMCSA public records published through the U.S. DOT Open Data Portal (data.transportation.gov), decoded into a single readable profile.
How is the carrier score calculated?
The 0–100 score combines the factors on the profile — authority, insurance, out-of-service rates, crash history and identity signals — and every factor is shown next to it. It's decision support, not an FMCSA safety rating.
Can I check freight brokers as well as carriers?
Yes. The directory covers 2,217,678 U.S. trucking companies and freight brokers registered with FMCSA.
