Quick checklist
- Free FMCSA carrier lookup.
- Daily re-check of selected authority, reported insurance-filing and safety fields.
- Transparent per-carrier pricing.
Lookup vs. monitoring
FMCSA data is public, so a free lookup is a useful first step. A paid monitor adds a recurring re-check and a change email for selected fields on carriers you book repeatedly.
What to compare
When you evaluate alternatives, weigh alert speed, what events are monitored, how many carriers a plan covers, and price per monitored carrier.
- Which events trigger an alert (authority, insurance, safety).
- How quickly alerts fire after the FMCSA record changes.
- Carrier limits and price per seat.
- Whether the underlying lookup is free.
CarrierSentry's approach
CarrierSentry keeps the FMCSA lookup free and charges for a daily re-check of selected authority, reported insurance-filing and safety-rating fields, starting at $19 per month.
Verify a carrier now
Run a free FMCSA lookup by USDOT, MC number or company name. Then put the carriers you book on watch for a daily re-check and an email when a monitored field change is detected.
