What a SAFER lookup can't show you.
Every report leads with what matters. The blocking issues and cautions worth knowing before you book, surfaced up top so you can make the call in seconds. Each one is backed by the data behind it.
Safety vs peers
Ranked against similar-size carriers
Each FMCSA BASIC scored against carriers its own size, fleetfax's own peer-percentile estimates. You can tell a genuinely risky operator from a busy one.
Authority & insurance
The insurance behind the authority
A basic lookup shows whether a carrier's authority is active. It doesn't show the coverage behind it: the liability and cargo limits, who underwrites them, and the bond on file, pulled in next to the authority and its history.
Observed equipment
The trucks they actually run, decoded
Every unit seen in inspections, decoded from its VIN: year, make, model, and class, vs what the carrier reports.
Operating map
Where they actually run
A carrier's operating area, drawn from two years of roadside inspections: the states and corridors they're actually seen running, not a self-reported service area. See at a glance whether they fit your lanes.
Connections between carriers
The ties no basic lookup shows
The trucks, officers, and addresses a carrier shares with others, including links to carriers whose authority was revoked. Surfaced as facts, from the public record.

Post-Montgomery
Brokers can now be held liable for the carriers they book.
In Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II (2026), the Supreme Court removed the federal preemption that had shielded brokers from state negligent-hiring claims. A single booking can now create personal liability exposure, not just a contractual one.
94% of FMCSA-registered carriers have no published safety rating.
"No rating" isn't the same as "no information." fleetfax reads inspection, OOS, crash, and authority data on every carrier (rated or not), and benchmarks each metric against peer-group baselines and 12-month trend lines. An unrated MC isn't a coin flip.
