How we determined the carrier of record

Each inspection row is sourced from FMCSA's public roadside inspection records (MCMIS). When an inspection takes place, the inspecting officer records the operating carrier's USDOT number alongside the vehicle's VIN. The carrier shown in this table is the carrier whose USDOT was on the inspection report on that date — that's why a single VIN can appear under multiple carriers.

A VIN may show multiple carriers because trucks routinely move between fleets via sale, lease, or operational reassignment. We don't see the bill of sale; we see the next inspection ticket. If two consecutive inspections show different USDOTs operating the same VIN, that's our signal that the operator changed at some point between those two dates.

Inspection records do not establish legal ownership. They establish operation on a given date. For ownership records, you'd need state title and IRP registration data, which is generally not public.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this VIN show multiple carriers? ▾
FMCSA roadside inspection records show this VIN under 2 different USDOT-numbered carriers. A change in operator USDOT typically reflects a sale, lease transfer, or operational reassignment between fleets. Inspection records confirm who operated the vehicle on the inspection date — they do not establish legal ownership.
What counts as a carrier transfer? ▾
We mark a row "carrier change" when its operator USDOT differs from the inspection immediately newer in the timeline. That signals an operator change at some point between those two inspection dates. We don't claim the truck was sold on a specific day — only that two consecutive inspections show different USDOTs operating the vehicle.
Where does this data come from? ▾
Every row comes from FMCSA's public roadside inspection records (MCMIS), which include the unit's VIN, the operating carrier's USDOT number, the inspection level (1–6), violations cited, and out-of-service determinations. We cross-join those records with our VIN database to produce the per-VIN view shown here. The carrier name is the carrier that operated the vehicle on the inspection date — not necessarily the current registrant.
