Questions
What is a USDOT number?
A number FMCSA assigns to every company that operates commercial vehicles in interstate commerce, and in many states for intrastate work too. It identifies the company, not a truck. It's painted on the door of every truck the company runs.
What's the difference between a USDOT number and an MC number?
The USDOT number is the registration. The MC number is the docket for operating authority, which a company needs to haul other people's freight or passengers for pay across state lines. A private fleet hauling its own goods has a USDOT number and no MC number. One company can hold several MC numbers.
Why does the safety rating say "Not rated"?
Most carriers have never had a compliance review, so they have no rating. Not rated is not good or bad. A rating of Conditional or Unsatisfactory comes from a review that found problems, and the date tells you how old it is.
What does "Power units" mean?
Trucks, tractors and buses the carrier reported on its last MCS-150 filing. Trailers aren't counted. It's the figure SAFER calls Power Units.
Why do SAFER's inspection numbers differ from these?
SAFER shows the last 24 months and splits inspections by type. We count every inspection and crash since January 2024, and our out-of-service share counts inspections of any type that ended in an out-of-service order. Both come from the same FMCSA records.
How current is this?
Pages for carriers with 20 or more power units were built from FMCSA's open data as of 2026-11-02, covering 49,707 carriers. Every other carrier is looked up live when you ask. Recent inspections and crashes on any page load live. The authoritative record is always SAFER, linked from every page.
Where does the data come from?
FMCSA's Company Census File, Crash File, Vehicle Inspection File and licensing file, published by the US Department of Transportation as open data. Your browser asks that service directly; nothing passes through us.
Can I have my name removed?
Company officers' names and business phone numbers are part of FMCSA's public record, which SAFER also shows. We don't publish email addresses. If you're an individual and want your name taken off our copy of a record, see the privacy page.
