CarrierGrades — The Trucking Record Before the Load

carriergrades.com Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free lookup tool for checking U.S. trucking companies’ authority, insurance, inspections, crashes, and independent safety grades.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

Search accepts a company name, USDOT number, or MC number and surfaces records drawn from the FMCSA public record. The homepage reports 5,745,389 roadside inspections from the last 24 months, 459,061 insurance filings, and 1,786 archived changes. CarrierGrades says its archive preserves earlier federal releases, while its grading policy leaves carriers ungraded when inspection history is too thin to support an honest conclusion.
