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.
Authority & insurance
Grants, revocations, gaps, and filings, in order.
Operating map
The states where the carrier actually gets inspected, on a map.
The observed fleet
Rebuilt from roadside inspections, not from the registration form.
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.
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.
Take it with you.
Every report leaves the site with you: a timestamped PDF for the compliance file and a share link for the teammate. And if you live in a load board or an inbox, the Chrome extension puts a one-click check wherever you find carriers.
The catch is there isn't one.
