Quick checklist
- Free, unlimited FMCSA lookups.
- Alerts on authority, insurance and safety changes.
- Transparent per-carrier pricing.
Lookup vs. monitoring
FMCSA data is public, so a free lookup is table stakes. The value of a paid tool is continuous monitoring: getting alerted the moment a carrier you book loses authority, drops insurance, or has its safety rating changed.
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
