Back to HomeAbout FMCSA Lookup
One workbench for FMCSA compliance lookups
Built for carriers, dispatchers, and safety professionals who need fast, accurate FMCSA data without bouncing between five different government portals.
Capabilities
Four lookups, one interface
MC/DOT Lookup
Look up a motor carrier by USDOT or MC docket number. Full profile aggregates 9 FMCSA datasets — operating authority, insurance history, BOC-3 agent, SMS BASIC scores, OOS orders, and recent activity.
Inspection Lookup
Pull any roadside inspection by state-prefixed report number, or list every inspection a VIN has been involved in. Detail view: violations with severity + BASIC + FMCSA SMS points, units with VINs, scene info.
Crash Lookup
Query crash reports by number or VIN. Decoded scene data (weather, light, road surface, trafficway, access control), per-CMV vehicle configuration + cargo + GVW + casualties, county FIPS resolution.
Audience
Built for the people who own the consequences
FMCSA Lookup is for U.S. trucking professionals — owner-operators, fleet safety managers, dispatchers, broker compliance teams, and independent consultants who handle DOT compliance day-to-day.
Every lookup is one click. Every result is FMCSA's authoritative data, fetched live. No PDF downloads, no portal logins, no waiting for an inspection report PDF to arrive in your email.

Important
What this tool is NOT
- Not an official FMCSA product or service
- Does not calculate SMS percentiles — those are FMCSA-internal
- Does not predict your CSA score
- Does not provide legal, compliance, or regulatory advice
- Does not modify, file, or update FMCSA records
For official scores, percentiles, and enforcement decisions, see FMCSA's CSA portal and SAFER.
