Know the day a carrier's FMCSA record changes.
You booked the carrier in good faith. Then its insurance got cancelled, its authority was suspended, or someone swapped its phone and email to steal your load. Carrier Ledger watches the FMCSA record of every carrier you use and tells you the day it changes, with the government source for every fact.
Free lookups, no account needed. 300 suspension notices served by FMCSA in the last 14 days.
What we catch
FMCSA serves notice weeks before an authority is suspended, usually because insurance lapsed. The snapshot still says "Active" until the day it happens. We show the notice and the date it takes effect.
Load thieves take over a real carrier by changing the contact details on its FMCSA record, then book freight as that company. We log every change to a watched carrier's phone, email and address, and flag it for 30 days.
Liability insurance below the federal minimum, cancellations filed by the insurer, brokers with no $75,000 bond on file. Checked every day.
The same phone, email or street address on other USDOT numbers, and FMCSA's own link to previously revoked companies: the usual signs of a carrier reborn under a new name.
What an alert looks like
By email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, any webhook, or a private RSS feed. You choose urgent only, urgent and important, or everything.
How it works
- Paste your carrier list. USDOT or MC numbers, straight from a spreadsheet column.
- We read every FMCSA record the day FMCSA publishes it: census, authority, insurance, suspension notices, process agents.
- You hear about changes, not about everything. The first check is a quiet baseline; after that you get only what changed.

Plain about what it is
Carrier Ledger copies public FMCSA records and tells you when they change. It is not a carrier rating and not a vetting decision; it gives your team the facts faster. Carriers can use it too, to check that a broker's authority and bond are in place.
