How it works

Three steps, then it runs on its own.

  1. Add your carriers

    Paste MC numbers or upload a CSV from your TMS. We check each number against FMCSA as you add it.

  2. We check FMCSA every night

    Each night we pull the public FMCSA records for every carrier on your list and compare them with the night before.

  3. One email with what changed

    If anything changed, you get one summary email, the most serious items first, each with a link to the carrier’s FMCSA record.

What we watch

The records you’d otherwise check by hand.

Every change is reported in plain words: changed, suspended, revoked, reinstated or granted.

Operating authority
Granted, suspended, revoked, reinstated or inactive, for each authority type the carrier holds.
Insurance on file
BIPD liability, cargo insurance and surety bond or trust fund filings, including coverage that drops off.
Out-of-service orders
New out-of-service orders and changes to existing ones.
USDOT registration
Whether the USDOT number is active, inactive or pending.
Company details
Legal name and DBA changes, and changes to the address, phone or email on file.

Where the data comes from

Every check uses FMCSA’s public datasets: licensing and insurance, authority history, company census and out-of-service orders. We run once a night, not continuously.

FMCSA’s datasets can lag its own systems by a day or more, so a change can reach you a day or two after it happened. Always confirm on FMCSA SAFER before you act on anything we send.

Questions

Before you sign up

Where does the data come from?

From the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s public datasets, the same records behind SAFER and the licensing and insurance site. We don’t buy data or use third-party scores.

How quickly do changes show up?

We check every night after FMCSA publishes. FMCSA’s public data can lag its own systems by a day or more, so expect most changes within one to two days of FMCSA recording them. Confirm on SAFER before you act.

Do I use MC numbers or USDOT numbers?

Add carriers by MC number (FF and MX docket numbers work too). We look up the matching USDOT number from FMCSA’s records, and every alert links to the carrier’s SAFER snapshot.

Can I upload a CSV?

Yes. Upload a CSV of up to 2,000 lines; we pick out the docket numbers from any column and skip headers and names. You can also paste numbers separated by commas, spaces or new lines.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from the billing portal in a couple of clicks. You keep access until the end of the month you’ve paid for, and you won’t be charged again.

What happens to my list if I cancel?

Your carriers stay on your list, so you can pick up where you left off if you subscribe again. We stop sending alerts while you don’t have a plan. If you’d like your account deleted, email us and we’ll remove it.

Stop re-checking SAFER by hand.

Add your carriers once. We’ll email you when their records change.
