Domain knowledge for FMCSA Carrier Safety — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

FMCSA Carrier Safety

Motor carrier safety intelligence sourced from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Open Data Portal (Socrata-backed bulk exports on data.transportation.gov). The underlying files are the same public FMCSA / SMS program extracts used for CSA SMS and carrier snapshots.

No API key required.

Datasets (bulk CSV → local pipeline)

  • Company Census — legal name, DBA, DOT number, address, operation classification, cargo types, fleet and driver counts, mileage, safety rating fields, and carrier status.
  • SMS Input Census — power units, drivers, annual vehicle miles, HazMat flag, and related census inputs used in SMS.
  • SMS AB PassProperty (BASIC scores) — Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs), measures, percentiles, intervention thresholds, and alert indicators for the combination vehicle / passenger / HM / property segments as published in the file.
  • Vehicle Inspections — roadside inspection events, levels, results, vehicle and driver OOS indicators, and carrier linkage fields.
  • Crashes — crash records with severity, injuries/fatalities/tow-away flags, time and location fields, and carrier identifiers where present.
  • Violations — individual violation lines tied to inspections with codes, weights, and OOS context.
  • Out of Service Orders — federal and state OOS orders and related carrier identifiers.

Search capabilities (planned tools)

Designed for lookup and analysis by USDOT / MC numbers, company or DBA name, state of operation, safety rating, fleet size bands, and BASIC percentile thresholds — plus joining across inspections, violations, and crashes for a single carrier narrative.

Typical workflows

  • Carrier due diligence — pull census + BASIC snapshot + recent inspections and violations before contracting or onboarding a motor carrier.
  • Fleet safety audit — benchmark BASICs and inspection patterns across a fleet or peer group; prioritize units with repeated OOS or high-severity violations.
  • Insurance underwriting / loss control — summarize crash involvement, inspection outcomes, and OOS history for risk segmentation.

Data is public DOT disclosure; always confirm critical fields against FMCSA systems of record for compliance decisions.
