Carrier & Broker Monitoring + Daily FMCSA Risk File

Send us the carriers and brokers you work with. Every morning we check each one against FMCSA's records and tell you what changed overnight. You also get the full risk file on every active carrier, 2,246,675 of them as of November 13, 2026.

Your list, checked every morning

Give us a spreadsheet of USDOT or MC numbers: your factoring clients, your carrier base, the brokers you buy invoices from. Each morning your private link has three files:

alerts.csv and report.html: only what changed since yesterday, in plain English. For example:

Carrier	What changed
Sample Ridge Freight LLC	Out-of-service order issued. Phone changed: 2145550100 to 3055550199. Risk level rose from LOW to HIGH.
Test Harbor Brokerage LLC	New red flag: Broker bond cancelling.
Example Prairie Transport Inc	No longer listed as an active carrier by FMCSA.

Made-up companies, real alert wording.

status.csv: every company on your list with today's risk level and all the columns below.

Brokers, not just carriers

If you factor freight, the broker on the invoice is the one who has to pay. Brokers must keep a $75,000 bond or trust fund on file with FMCSA, and a broker whose bond is cancelling, or whose authority is about to be suspended, is a warning before the invoice goes unpaid. As of November 13, 2026, 1 broker had a bond cancelling and 99 had active broker authority with no bond on file.

The full file

carriers.csv: one row per active carrier, about 65 MB gzipped, in parts. changes.csv: every phone, email, address, officer or authority change we recorded, with old and new values and the day we saw it.

FMCSA publishes each carrier's current record and overwrites it when something changes. We save the full census every day and compare it with the day before, so the change file covers what SAFER and the bulk files can't show you, like a 10-year-old authority that changed its phone and email last week. The history started on November 9, 2026 and grows every day.

Authority, insurance and suspensions come from Motus, the registration system FMCSA moved to on May 14, 2026. FMCSA's older licensing and insurance files stopped updating that day.
