FMCSA Enforcement Cases
FMCSA enforcement cases are civil-penalty proceedings initiated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration against motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and drivers for safety, hours-of-service, hazmat, or registration violations. Each case is a permanent part of the public regulatory record. 0 cases on file across all fiscal years.
Upstream data gap: FMCSA’s public Closed Enforcement Cases tabular feed has been unavailable since 2024; TruckCodex ingests what Socrata still publishes, so new cases may be sparse until upstream restores a full dataset.

Frequently asked questions about FMCSA enforcement
What is an FMCSA enforcement case? ▾
An FMCSA enforcement case is a civil-penalty proceeding initiated by FMCSA's Office of Chief Counsel against a motor carrier, broker, freight forwarder, or driver. It is separate from a roadside inspection violation: enforcement cases produce monetary penalties; inspection violations affect CSA BASIC scores.
How do I look up enforcement cases for a specific carrier? ▾
Use the carrier's USDOT number to land on /usdot/{usdot}/, where every enforcement case linked to that carrier is listed alongside inspections, crashes, and operating-authority history. You can also filter the table on this page by carrier name.
Are enforcement penalties always paid in full? ▾
No. The penalty amount on the public record reflects the final disposition — which may be the originally proposed assessment, a reduced settlement, or zero in the case of a vacated charge. FMCSA does not publish payment status separately.
How current is this enforcement data? ▾
TruckCodex mirrors FMCSA's Licensing & Insurance enforcement dataset on a daily refresh cycle. Recent cases (within the last 7 days) may not yet appear; established cases are reflected within 24 hours of FMCSA publication.
Where does FMCSA publish enforcement cases? ▾
FMCSA's public enforcement dataset is published through the Licensing & Insurance system and the agency's open-data portal at ai.fmcsa.dot.gov. TruckCodex re-indexes that data with carrier links, violation lookups, and case-level deep links.
