How SaferGrade works
We ingest the FMCSA company census (4.5M registrations) daily, MOTUS authority/insurance/revocation deltas daily, and SMS inspection and crash input files monthly — archived, attested, and normalized with the vintage on every row.
Seven components — operating status, docket authority, insurance filings, driver and vehicle out-of-service rates vs national baselines, recorded crashes per power unit, and MCS-150 recency. Missing records are excluded, never counted against a carrier. Full methodology.
The grade summarizes what public records show — it is not a safety-fitness determination, and FMCSA cautions against using SMS data alone to reach one. Use it to see the records fast, then apply your own vetting standards.
Every active carrier, by state and city — or take the whole carrier-level slice as a CC0 CSV.
Need the whole registry, not one file? The full 4.47M-carrier census — identity, authority and insurance filings, SaferGrade score, and 24-month inspection summaries per USDOT — ships as the Carrier Analytics feed on the Govparse gateway. Delivered by metered REST API, Snowflake, or CSV.
