Output
A ranked list of up to 15 motor carrier candidates matching the search name, each containing USDOT number, MC docket number, legal business name, physical state, decoded carrier status, authority status, and operation type — useful as a first-pass identification step before deeper freight or carrier verification.

Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/freight/lookupWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint as a cheap first step when you have a carrier's name but need their USDOT number, MC docket, or regulatory status before making downstream freight or carrier API calls. Prefer this over broader company enrichment endpoints when the entity is specifically a US motor carrier regulated by FMCSA. The state filter helps narrow results when the carrier name is common.
Side effects
- No carriers found for the given name — returns empty candidates list
- Name too generic — returns many low-relevance candidates requiring manual disambiguation
- State filter typo or invalid 2-letter code — may return error or unfiltered results
- FMCSA source data unavailable or stale — may return outdated status information
- Limit parameter out of range (not 1–15) — returns validation error
