Inspection History for VIN 3ALACXCS5JDKB0121
2018 FREIGHTLINER M2
Roadside inspections
Reverse-chronological. The carrier shown is the carrier of record AT THE TIME of the inspection — not the current owner.
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.
