What Is the DOT Carrier Lookup Database?

The DOT carrier lookup database is the complete registry of all active motor carriers registered with the FMCSA. Every trucking company operating in the U.S. must obtain a DOT number and keep their registration current — making this the most comprehensive, authoritative source of U.S. trucking company data.

FMCSA.dot.gov lets you look up individual carriers one at a time. Our download gives you the entire dataset in a ready-to-use spreadsheet, so you can search, filter, and sort all 1.6M+ records instantly.
