Why DOTScreener is different

Most tools help you look up a carrier. DOTScreener helps you document and defend your carrier-selection process.

DOTScreener creates a timestamped carrier-selection record using FMCSA safety data, census intelligence, operational risk indicators, carrier attestations, and immutable report snapshots. This gives brokers and shippers a stronger operational paper trail when they need to demonstrate reasonable care.

Frequently asked questions

What is a carrier screen?

A carrier screen is a point-in-time review of a motor carrier's FMCSA safety data, insurance filings, authority status, and operational indicators. DOTScreener pulls this data live, applies your review workflow, and generates a timestamped record of the tender decision.

How does the free trial work?

Sign up with your email — no credit card required. You get 14 days of full access to your chosen plan. If you don't subscribe before the trial ends, your account moves to read-only mode. You keep all screening history.

What's the difference between Professional and Defense / Enterprise?

Professional gives you everything most brokers and shippers need: full census intelligence, plaintiff attack vectors, carrier attestation workflows, and audit-ready exports for up to 300 screens/month with unlimited users. Defense / Enterprise adds multi-location support, API access, legal review workflows, custom retention rules, dedicated onboarding, and quarterly risk reviews — built for organizations that need compliance at scale.

What is FMCSA Census Intelligence?

Census Intelligence enriches every screen with data from the FMCSA Census file — prior-revoked authorities, shared phone/email/address/officer indicators, fleet-vs-driver mismatches, stale MCS-150 filings, and relationship cluster signals. It surfaces operational risk indicators that standard SAFER lookups miss.

Can shippers use DOTScreener?

Absolutely. Shippers who select or approve carriers bear the same duty of reasonable care as brokers. DOTScreener documents the shipper's carrier-selection process with the same timestamped, tamper-evident records.

What happens after the free trial?

If you subscribe, you continue with uninterrupted access. If you don't, your account moves to read-only — all your existing screens, reports, and audit trails remain accessible. No data is deleted.

Is setup required?

No. Sign up, enter an MC or DOT number, and run your first screen in under 60 seconds. There's no onboarding process, no data imports, and no IT involvement required.

Need custom volume pricing?

For organizations screening more than 1,000 carriers per month, we'll build a custom plan with volume pricing, dedicated onboarding, and SLA guarantees.

We'll respond within one business day.
