# FMCSA Carrier Dataset Statistics

> FMCSA Carrier Dataset Statistics is a paid API for AI agents from api.govparse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns headline aggregate statistics for the full FMCSA carrier dataset, including total and active carrier counts, SaferGrade score distribution, inspection/crash history coverage, and national out-of-service baseline rates.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fmcsa-carrier-dataset-statistics-1074fd71
```

Example prompt: How big is the FMCSA carrier dataset right now, and what do the overall safety stats look like — things like how many carriers have SaferGrade scores, the grade breakdown, and what the national out-of-service rates are?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, high-level census of the FMCSA carrier landscape — total scale, safety score coverage, and national benchmarks — without querying individual carriers. Prefer this over carrier search endpoints when your goal is market sizing, benchmarking, or dashboard summaries rather than finding specific carriers.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable or gateway down (500 error)
- Payment not processed or x402 authorization failure
- Stale or incomplete dataset snapshot if underlying FMCSA source data has not refreshed
- Empty or zero-count response if dataset has not been indexed yet

## How this service works

How big is the FMCSA carrier dataset right now? Headline aggregates: total and active registered carriers, how many have a SaferGrade score and the grade distribution, carriers with inspection/crash history, and the current national driver/vehicle out-of-service baseline rates.

## Output

A JSON object containing headline aggregate statistics: total registered carrier count, count of active carriers, number of carriers with a SaferGrade score, SaferGrade grade distribution breakdown, counts of carriers with inspection and crash history, and current national driver and vehicle out-of-service baseline rates.
