Screen carriers and document every decision.
DOTScreener pulls live FMCSA data, runs a policy-based review in under 60 seconds, and generates a Carrier Selection Defense Packet your team can file for compliance and insurance purposes.
DOTScreener documents carrier-selection workflows using public FMCSA data. It does not predict future carrier performance, certify safety outcomes, guarantee legal protection, or constitute legal advice.
Built for how brokers actually work
Carrier screening that fits into your dispatch workflow — not a second compliance department you have to manage.
Screen carriers in seconds
Pull live FMCSA authority, insurance, safety, and inspection data for any MC or DOT number. Results are policy-scored and decision-ready.
Document selection decisions
Every carrier review generates a timestamped Carrier Selection Defense Packet — a complete record of what you checked, when, and what the data showed.
Reduce negligent selection exposure
Build a documented record of operational diligence. If a claim arises, your screening history is already organized and exportable.
Enforce internal screening policy
Define your carrier acceptance criteria — authority age, insurance minimums, safety thresholds — and apply them consistently across your team.
FMCSA intelligence at a glance
Authority history, insurance filings, inspections, violations, safety ratings, and operating status — sourced directly from FMCSA public records.
Team-wide audit trails
Every team member screens through the same policy. Management sees who screened what, when, and whether policy exceptions were flagged.
What every screening includes
Each carrier review pulls the same comprehensive FMCSA dataset, scores it against your policy, and packages the result into a defense-ready record.
Authority & operating status
Active/inactive, authority age, legal name, DBA, operating type
Insurance filings
BIPD, cargo, bond/trust — filing status, coverage amounts, effective dates
Safety data
FMCSA safety rating, inspection counts, out-of-service rates, violations
Policy-scored decisions
Clear / Review Recommended / Policy Block — based on your criteria
Carrier Selection Defense Packets
Timestamped PDF with full screening data, decision, and audit chain
Team activity & audit log
Who screened which carrier, when, and whether any policy exceptions were taken
Carrier Selection Defense Packet
Generated for every screening
Negligent selection claims start with one question
“What did you check before you tendered this load?” If you can't produce a documented answer — what data you reviewed, when you reviewed it, and what decision you made — you're reconstructing your process after the fact.
DOTScreener builds that documented answer automatically, every time you screen a carrier, so the record already exists when you need it.

Export the Defense Packet
A timestamped PDF documents what you reviewed, what the data showed, and what decision was made. File it, share it, or hold it for audit.
