The DOT company snapshot,
with more than SAFER shows.

The Company Snapshot is the free carrier summary FMCSA publishes through SAFER for one USDOT number: legal name and address, USDOT status, operation classification, cargo carried, fleet and driver counts, the MCS-150 date and mileage, the safety rating and an inspection and crash summary. It is built from the FMCSA carrier census, the registration data every carrier files on the MCS-150 and must update at least every two years.

This tool reads that census dataset directly from data.transportation.gov and shows far more of the carrier's row than the summary does. Same federal source, same USDOT number, more of the record.

Paste the USDOT number into the box at the top of this page. If you only have a company name, find the number first with the DOT number lookup. The card comes back in a few seconds. A “No carrier found” result means the number is not in the census file: usually a typo, a brand-new USDOT registration FMCSA has not published yet, or a USDOT deactivated long enough to have dropped out of the file.

The official snapshot is a curated summary. Because this card reads the underlying census dataset, it surfaces fields the official page omits:

• Company officers. The names on file, not just a phone number.
• Drivers, split. Interstate versus intrastate, with interstate drivers split within and beyond 100 miles.
• Fleet by unit type. Power units, truck and bus units, and the tractors and trailers the carrier owns.
• Compliance flags. The MCSIP step, the prior-revocation flag and the authority status on the docket.
• Contact on file. The email address FMCSA holds for the carrier.
• Codes, resolved. Status, operation type and fleet bucket in plain English instead of the raw census codes.

Two things run the other way. SAFER’s snapshot shows the safety rating and an inspection and crash summary, and this card does not; those live in the safety profile. And for the newest fields FMCSA is adding under Motus, use the Motus lookup.
