Know exactly who you're booking
The whole federal record on a carrier, read for you and laid out plainly, so nothing that matters is buried.
Everything on a carrier, in one report
Authority, insurance, inspections, safety history and ownership, pulled together and stated as facts.
A large national carrier. The verdict comes first, then the record behind it: authority, insurance on file, safety against peers, and the fleet actually observed on the road. Every field is from the federal record, and the same report is free on any carrier.
Fraud patterns caught in every report
Freight fraud usually leaves a paper trail in the federal record. fleetfax looks for the patterns brokers get burned by and surfaces them as cautions, so you decide with them in view. Examples of what it watches for:
How stolen loads actually start
Most cargo theft now starts at a desk, not a truck stop. The thief books the load as somebody else, or as a company built to be burned, and the freight is gone before anyone knows to look. Each play leaves marks in the federal record. Here is where the report puts them in front of you.
Measured against carriers its own size
A five-truck carrier and a five-hundred-truck carrier are not the same risk at the same inspection count. fleetfax compares each carrier only to peers of similar size.
Every carrier gets a percentile. Each carrier is grouped with others of similar fleet size, and violations per inspection are counted from the public record to place it as a percentile. A higher percentile means more violations than similar-size peers, not a pass or fail. FMCSA keeps its own percentiles hidden, so these are fleetfax peer estimates built from the same inspection data, not official CSA scores.
Every filing and lapse, back years
Not just today's snapshot. The full run of authority events and insurance filings, side by side, so a gap that closed two years ago still shows.
Granted in December, revoked by March. An authority barely three months old, next to the insurance ledger that explains it: a $750K policy cancelled with no replacement on file. A packet from onboarding would still say this carrier was covered; the report shows the record as it stands today.
Insurance, live-verified against Motus
Every night, fleetfax checks ambiguous insurance records against FMCSA's Motus system, the registration system of record. When the public feeds lag, fleetfax corrects the insurance record to match what Motus shows.
Read the researchThe trucks actually seen on the road
fleetfax reads the VINs from roadside inspections and decodes them, then sets that against what the carrier reports. Where the two differ is worth a question before you tender.
2 reported, 469 observed. This carrier reports 2 power units to FMCSA; inspections saw 469 distinct trucks in 24 months, so the report flags it. Reported and observed are two separate facts, and not every truck gets inspected, so a gap is a reason to ask before you tender, not proof of anything by itself.
Decoded from roadside-inspection VINs. Each row is one truck or trailer seen in an inspection, with the VIN it was read from and the make, year, and class decoded from it. The carrier and VINs shown are fictional.
Where a carrier actually runs
Built from where the carrier's trucks have been inspected over time, not from a self-reported service area. A read on the lanes a carrier really works.
368 counties, 623 inspections. The map for one carrier, with corridor overlays and a recency gradient. Built from FMCSA roadside inspections, which show where the trucks actually get stopped, not the lanes a carrier says it prefers.
Ask anything about the record
Type a plain question about a carrier and get an answer grounded in that carrier's own record, with the report open next to it.
Yes, liability insurance is on file with a $5,000,000 limit and there is no pending cancellation or lapse.

The answer is grounded in the carrier's own record, links to the section it came from, and says so when the record cannot answer.
