Check a carrier's licence

Look up a USDOT number, an MC number or a company's legal name in the federal carrier records. The answer is active, inactive or not found.

The number is on the company's quote or website.

29,725 federal records on file, refreshed November 11, 2026. Source: FMCSA Company Census File and the licensing datasets.

What the answer means

  • Active: the licensing file shows common or contract authority as active.
  • Inactive: we hold the carrier's record and that authority is not active.
  • Not found: the number or name is not in our copy of the file.

None of these is a safety verdict, and a filing on file is not a promise about a claim.
