Source population
The search index is FMCSA’s SMS Input — Motor Carrier Census Information dataset, filtered to carriers whose physical state of record is Texas and whose passenger-carrier flag is false. That is the exact query, nothing more. Being included in this list is not a rating, and it does not establish that a carrier is currently operating — a record can persist after a carrier stops running. This is not a list of “all Texas carriers” or of “every carrier that operates in Texas.” The index carries only a carrier’s USDOT number, legal name, DBA name, and city/state; it holds no contact, address, or safety figures.
Two kinds of result
Most matches link straight to the carrier’s official record in FMCSA SAFER. A small, hand-curated set of carriers also has a local safety profile on this site. Those profiles show figures we captured and dated from the official source; every one links back to FMCSA so you can confirm the live record.
Which carriers have a dated report, and why
100 carriers currently have a dated local report. The set is not random, not representative, not a “largest fleets” list, and not a safety ranking. It was built on purpose: the initial pilot carriers are kept, and beyond that we prioritize carriers that show more recorded inspections in FMCSA’s official monthly SMS summaries, because those carriers have enough underlying activity to make a dated report substantive rather than a page of blanks. Each report is a dated capture, published as a fixed dated collection (2026-09-09) — not a live feed, and with no promise of a particular refresh schedule.
The monthly SMS summary is used only to decide which carriers to capture. Counts shown on a report — and in the side-by-side comparison — are parsed from the dated FMCSA SAFER record for that carrier. Out-of-service rates are calculated from those counts: out-of-service inspections divided by total inspections in the same vehicle or driver category, multiplied by 100 and rounded to one decimal place. With zero inspections or a missing count, the rate is unavailable, not 0%. The monthly SMS numbers are never substituted for these SAFER figures.
The expansion uses inspection activity from FMCSA’s interstate/intrastate-hazmat SMS summary and intrastate non-hazmat SMS summary, matched by USDOT to the Texas census cohort above. These feeds do not supply a verified calendar cutoff for their measurement period, so their counts are used for selection only, not displayed as current safety results. More recorded inspections can reflect more exposure or different operations; selection implies neither good nor bad performance. No statewide safety averages or trends are inferred from this deliberately selected group.
Time windows and dates
Each profile records inspections and crashes over fixed 24-month windows, and each panel states the date that window ends. Crash figures are nationwide U.S. events reported to FMCSA — they are not limited to Texas and carry no assumption about where a crash happened or who was at fault.
Several dates matter and are kept separate: the as-of date is the effective date stated by the SAFER snapshot, not when we fetched it; the retrieved timestamp is our exact fetch time; the rating-as-of date is the source’s stated rating-currency date; the rating date is when FMCSA last assigned a safety rating, which can be years old and does not make the inspection or crash figures stale. The census’s own “dataset updated” timestamp is a property of the dataset, not the effective date of any single carrier’s record.
Out-of-service rates
Out-of-service rates are our calculations from the source counts — out-of-service inspections divided by inspections of the same type — not figures published verbatim by FMCSA. A rate is shown only when there was at least one inspection of that type in the window. With no inspections, the rate is reported as “Not available” — never as zero percent, which would falsely imply a clean inspection history.
What this tool does not do
It shows no danger scores, inspection-percentile scores, or national benchmarks or rankings. The comparison tool places dated records side by side, but does not rank carriers, normalize counts for miles driven, infer fault, or forecast trends. It reports the official source counts, dated, alongside calculated out-of-service rates and a link to the source. It draws no conclusion that any carrier is safe, unsafe, at fault, or operating illegally.
Independent and not affiliated
This is an independent, dated reproduction of public FMCSA records. It is not an official or live FMCSA page, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by FMCSA or the U.S. Department of Transportation. For a carrier’s current, authoritative record, use the FMCSA source linked on each report.
Corrections
To report a transcription or capture error on this site, email [email protected]. Include the USDOT number, report or collection date, affected field, and a link to the official evidence. Do not send confidential accident records. This site does not refresh automatically; a federal-source correction does not automatically change a previously published snapshot here.
For eligible inspection or crash-data disputes in the federal record, use FMCSA’s DataQs system. For registration changes, follow FMCSA’s registration-update process; DataQs is not a universal registration-editing service. An error in our reproduction and an error in the federal record are separate correction requests.
