SearchCarriers

SearchCarriers is a comprehensive research platform for anyone with a DOT number — including motor carriers, freight brokers, and shippers. We provide instant access to FMCSA data, safety ratings, compliance history, and intelligence on over 4 million companies across the United States. We make complex data simple and actionable.

You can search for any entity with a DOT number — this includes motor carriers, freight brokers, shippers, and more. Simply enter a company name, DOT number, MC number, location, or equipment type in the search bar and get instant results. You can also use our unique "Search by Picture" feature to snap a photo of a truck's DOT number and instantly look up that company.

SearchCarriers provides thousands of data points per company across multiple categories: safety ratings and SMS scores, complete inspection history with violations, crash records, insurance information and history, equipment details with VIN decoding, authority status and history, associated entities and relationships, operating authority details, and risk factors — all explained in plain language you can understand. For companies with extensive history, this can mean tens of thousands of individual data points available for research.

Yes, SearchCarriers offers a powerful REST API that allows you to integrate carrier and broker research directly into your own applications, TMS systems, or workflows. Our API provides access to all the same data available in our web application.
