What does this tool show?

🔴

Authority Status

Whether the carrier was legally authorized to operate — a revoked or suspended authority dramatically increases their liability.

⭐

Safety Rating

FMCSA's official rating: Satisfactory, Conditional, or Unsatisfactory.

💥

Crash History

Total, fatal, injury, and tow-away crashes over a rolling 24-month window.

🚫

Out-of-Service Rate

% of inspections where drivers or vehicles were immediately placed out of service.

🔍

FMCSA Violations

Hours-of-service, vehicle maintenance, driver fitness, and drug/alcohol violations.

📊

BASIC Scores

Percentile scores across 5 safety categories. Carriers above the 75th percentile — or flagged ALERT — have exceeded FMCSA's intervention threshold.

📦

Carrier Profile

What cargo the carrier hauls and how they're classified — hazmat carriers face stricter regulations and higher insurance minimums.

Why This Data Matters in a Truck Accident Case

⚖️

Negligent entrustment

A company that hired a driver with a known bad record, or that kept a driver on the road despite HOS violations, can be directly liable for your injuries — beyond what the driver alone is responsible for.

🔍

Pattern of violations

A single crash might be an accident. A pattern of out-of-service orders, hours-of-service violations, and maintenance failures shows a company that knowingly prioritized profit over safety.

💰

Punitive damages

In Texas, gross negligence can support punitive damages. A carrier with an "Unsatisfactory" FMCSA rating and a crash history is a strong candidate for a punitive damages argument.

⏱️
