Free public tool · U.S. DOT open data

Look up a U.S. motor carrier in seconds

Search the FMCSA Company Census by MC number, USDOT, legal name, phone, or email. Built for dispatchers, brokers, and carriers who need a fast identity check — no CRM login, no import, read-only results.

Why use this

Fast carrier identity from public records

Before you call a carrier or send a packet, confirm the legal name, MC/DOT, address, and contact info match what FMCSA published. Our dispatch desk uses the same census feed internally — we made the search public so you can vet carriers without signing into our TMS.

MC & USDOT

Direct lookup by motor carrier or USDOT number from the federal motor carrier census.

Phone & email

Find carriers when you only have a callback number or inbox address from a lead list or rate confirmation.

No account

Read-only results. No import, no outreach buttons — just the public profile fields we return from census.

Questions

FMCSA carrier lookup FAQ

Is this the same as FMCSA SAFER?

This tool queries the same underlying Company Census that powers many government carrier profiles. For safety ratings and full authority history, also open the carrier on FMCSA SAFER.

Can I search by phone number or email?

Yes. Choose Phone or Email in the dropdown, or use Auto when the query looks like a phone or email. Not every carrier has both fields on file.

Is this legal to use on a public website?

Yes. The U.S. DOT publishes the Company Census as open data for public use. We do not resell the data — this is a free lookup with source attribution and disclaimers.

Do you book freight or broker loads?

Shipping Wish LLC provides dedicated fleet operations managers for motor carriers on a weekly subscription. We are not a freight broker. Need a manager on your MC? Start a free week.

Need someone to run your dispatch desk?

We place a named operations manager with your carrier — load booking, brokers, TMS included. $0 due this week.
