Carrier checks on FMCSA data
Know every carrier before you tender a load.
Look up any carrier by USDOT number, MC number, or name. See authority, insurance on file, inspections, and crashes on one page, with a risk score and a clear call on whether anything blocks dispatch.
Checking a carrier means SAFER, L&I and SMS in three tabs. This puts it on one page.

Platform Capabilities
What you get on every carrier
LoadVetting combines carrier risk scoring, authority and insurance checks, and a printable dossier in one place.
01
AI Risk Engine and Carrier Summaries
LoadVetting reads the full filing so you don’t have to. Get an instant plain-English compliance summary and a transparent 0 to 100 risk score with domain weightings.
Why it matters: Catch hidden out-of-service spikes and critical safety risks in seconds.
02
Authority and Insurance Checks
Check active common and contract authority, continuous BIPD insurance policies, cargo coverage, and federal surety bond status.
Why it matters: Block revoked carriers and cancelled insurance binders prior to dispatch.
03
Inspections, violations and out-of-service rates
Review complete roadside inspection histories, acute SMS violation breakdowns, driver fitness records, and vehicle out-of-service rates organized chronologically.
Why it matters: Detect recurring maintenance or driver safety patterns before freight leaves the dock.
04
FMCSA carrier lookup by DOT or MC number
Look up any commercial motor carrier using USDOT, MC or FF docket, registered business name, officer identity, physical terminal address, phone, or email.
Why it matters: Match load-board contact details against corporate registry records to flag cloned dockets.
05
Watchlist with email alerts
Add preferred carriers to your private watchlist. LoadVetting shows authority or insurance lapses on your dashboard watchlist and sends a daily email when a saved carrier changes.
Why it matters: Eliminate manual re-checking and prevent tendering loads to suddenly inactive fleets.
06
Compare carriers, print a PDF, export CSV
Evaluate up to five carriers side by side on lane performance, generate print-ready PDF dossiers, or export verified CSV records you can import into your TMS.
Why it matters: Deliver documented, audit-ready compliance archives for internal compliance and customers.

Proprietary AI Risk Engine
A score you can check: Safety 60%, Compliance 30%, Stability 10%.
Vetting tools often collect disconnected data points without context. LoadVetting synthesizes active operating authority, insurance limits, inspection violations, and safety records into an actionable carrier brief and transparent 0 to 100 risk score. A higher score means lower risk. How we score carriers.
LoadVetting Intelligence BriefExample
“Carrier maintains active common carrier authority with verified $1,000,000 BIPD coverage. Notice: The vehicle out-of-service rate is elevated compared to industry peers over the last 12 months. We recommend reviewing recent maintenance inspections before dispatching high-value freight.”
- Plain-English carrier summaries instead of raw tables
- 0 to 100 risk score breakdown with transparent domain weightings
- Instant red flag alerts for authority, insurance, and safety violations
- Source links so you can check the record yourself
This score is LoadVetting's own analysis of public FMCSA records. It is not an FMCSA safety rating or approval to dispatch.
