For carriers and owner-operators

See your own file the way brokers see it

Every broker and shipper who pulls your USDOT number sees the same federal file. One free lookup shows you exactly what they see — registration, authority, the insurance filings on record, inspections — cited to the source and dated.

What the file shows you

What is on file today — your authority status with the date it last changed, the liability amount FMCSA shows on file against the minimum required, and cargo, bond and trust filings.
What the history looks like from outside — every insurance filing and cancellation in FMCSA's files, in date order, so a replaced policy that reads like a gap is visible before a broker asks about it.
Your safety record as published — inspections, out-of-service results and crashes over the last two years, with FMCSA's own limitation language beside them.
Any record pattern a broker would be shown — the same documented patterns, from the same records, so nothing on your page is a surprise.

How it fits your day

Pull your file. Type your USDOT or MC number, or your company name, into the search box. The full federal file opens, free, no signup.
Check it against your own paperwork. If a filing is missing or wrong, the correction goes to FMCSA: insurance filings come from your insurer, registration details through your FMCSA account, inspection and crash data through DataQs. We show the record as published, and we show the correction once it is made.
Track your own number. Alerts when your file changes — a cancellation filed, a notice served, a status change — so you hear about it when your customers can see it.

What the record covers — and what it doesn't

The record is a dated PDF of what the federal sources showed for your company while you tracked it — useful when a customer asks for your standing on a given date — with the source on every line. A record shows both the date of what it describes and the date it was generated, carries a reference number and a tamper-evident hash, and can be checked by anyone you hand it to at carrierarchive.com/verify. It covers only the days the carrier was under watch: a check that never ran cannot be written up afterwards, which is exactly why the watch is worth setting up before the load moves.

Questions carriers and owner-operators ask

My insurance was replaced, not cancelled. Why does the file show a cancellation?

FMCSA's history file lists the old policy's cancellation and the new policy's filing as separate rows, and we show both. The page leads with the policy on file today and marks the cancellation as "policy already replaced" when the dates show it. If your insurer has not filed the replacement, the page says no policy is on file, and only your insurer's filing changes that.

Can I remove something from my page?

No. The page shows FMCSA's published records with their dates and sources, the same for every carrier, and we do not edit them. A correction made at FMCSA shows here after the next daily check. If you believe we are showing a record wrongly, write to support@carrierarchive.com from your company and say which line.

Does tracking my own number cost anything?

No. A free account tracks up to 10 carriers, and your own number counts as one of them.
