This report card combines records from FMCSA's public Motor Carrier Census, SMS roadside inspection files, and Licensing & Insurance (L&I) extracts (SMS dataset last updated 2026-10-13). The letter grade is calculated using transparent mathematical deductions based on out-of-service deviations from the national average, observed acute/critical indicators, fleet-proportional crash history, and authority status.
A safety report card is a preliminary screening tool and does not constitute a government safety rating, insurance warranty, or binding dispatch approval. For official government records, visit the SAFER Carrier Snapshot or the FMCSA SMS Overview.
DOT Report Card provides an informational screening summary and does not certify a carrier as safe, compliant, insured, or suitable for any shipment. Verify current government records and your organization’s requirements before contracting or dispatching.
