How this service works
US motor carrier by USDOT, MC/MX/FF docket or exact company name (FMCSA): USDOT status, out-of-service order, operating authority per docket with grant date and source (Motus, else legacy frozen 2026-05-14), BI&PD, cargo and bond required vs on file, insurance policies, BOC-3, fleet size, safety rating. Up to 10 carriers; empty is a paid 200. Not a determination: verify with FMCSA before dispatch.
Output
Returns up to 10 matching carriers, each with USDOT status, out-of-service order flag, operating authority per docket with grant date and source (Motus or legacy snapshot), BI&PD and cargo insurance required vs. on file, bond status, individual insurance policies, BOC-3 filing status, fleet size, and safety rating. An empty result set is a valid paid 200 response if no match is found.
Example use cases
Pre-dispatch carrier safety verification
“Before I assign this load, check the FMCSA record for MC138328 — I need to know if their operating authority is active, whether there's any out-of-service order, and if their cargo insurance and BOC-3 are on file.”
Carrier vetting by company name
“Can you look up the motor carrier compliance details for 'Swift Transportation Co.' — I want their USDOT status, safety rating, fleet size, and whether their insurance is current.”
Freight broker authority check
“I need to verify that the freight broker I'm working with has a valid FF docket and their bond is on file with FMCSA — can you check using docket number FF12345?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.flipvo.com/v1/carrier/lookup?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured FMCSA carrier compliance data programmatically before dispatching freight, onboarding a carrier, or verifying broker authority — specifically when you have a USDOT number, MC/MX/FF docket, or exact company name. Prefer this over manual FMCSA portal lookups when automating carrier screening workflows. Note: this is not an official FMCSA determination; always confirm with FMCSA before dispatch.
Side effects
- No carrier found matching the name, USDOT, or docket — returns empty array with HTTP 200 (still a paid call)
- Partial or DBA company name provided — name field requires exact legal or DBA match, no partial matching
- Invalid docket format — docket must be MC, MX, or FF followed by digits
- Data may be stale for non-Motus records — legacy snapshot frozen 2026-05-14, not real-time FMCSA
- USDOT number out of valid range (1–99999999) — will be rejected by schema validation
- Payment not provided or insufficient — x402 payment required at $0.03 USDC per call
