The verdict
Blocking issues found, cautions found, or neither. Plain English, five seconds.
Flags with evidence
Every flag names the filing or inspection that raised it. No black box.
Safety vs peers
Out-of-service rates and crash trend against national averages.
The observed fleet
Rebuilt from roadside inspections, not from the registration form.
Operating map
The states where the carrier actually gets inspected, on a map.
Authority & insurance
Grants, revocations, gaps, and filings, in order.
All of it from the public federal record: registration, inspections, crashes, authority, and insurance filings.
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.
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.
Take it with you.
A check you can't show later isn't a process. Every fleetfax report leaves the site with you: a timestamped PDF for the compliance file, a share link for the teammate, and a one-click check wherever you find carriers.
The PDF
The audit trail.
Every report exports to a timestamped PDF with a QR code back to the live page. Standardize the check, save the receipt, and you can show exactly what you knew when you booked.
The extension
A check wherever you find carriers.
If you live in a load board or an inbox, fleetfax rides along. Right-click any USDOT, MC, or email for an instant check, and the full report on fleetfax.com is always one click away. Free, like everything else here.
The catch is there isn't one.
