If you would like to learn how to find trucking companies’ safety records online, there are several options open to you via the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
The FMCSA has several online resources for obtaining safety information on trucking companies. All you need is a trucking company’s name, their DOT number, or the motor carrier number in order to search the records.
An overview of the available online information is available here.
The SAFER records can provide a “Company Snapshot,” which is a summary of the truck company, including its identification, safety rating, the number of times its vehicles have been placed out of service, and the company’s size.
The “Company Safety Profile” is a service that requires a $20 fee, but it also provides more comprehensive safety information about an individual trucking company’s operations. These include items from the inspection and crash reports, as well as results from enforcement actions by the DOT.
A&I Data and Reports are available for research, generally including crash data broken down by year and state. The information on this page provides in-depth trends and can be an invaluable safety resource.
