See DOT Intel at work
DOT Intel connects the carrier, its insurance history, and the market around it. Bring the record and your questions into the next call. These are real product screens from a demo account using public-record data.
Find the accounts
Narrow the FMCSA carrier universe by state, fleet size, authority, insurance status, and estimated renewal timing. See the matching carriers before you decide what belongs in a list.
Build a quality list for your book, use the estimated window to guide your x-date question, then confirm the actual date with the insured.
Read the account
Bring authority, fleet, current insurer, public insurance history, safety signals, and the next practical action into one carrier view. Observed FMCSA records stay clearly separated from DOT Intel estimates.
Use the report to prepare the questions—not to promise that a market will quote or bind the account.

Read the market
Compare insurer activity nationally or by state, follow filing-share and insurer-movement signals over time, and see where observed filing activity is growing or pulling back.
It gives you a better market conversation and a better underwriter conversation. It does not make the placement decision for you.
FMCSA records are public. DOT Intel saves the tab-switching by cleaning, joining, and organizing the records around the way trucking insurance work actually gets done.

Authority, fleet, current insurance filings, coverage history, and safety evidence belong in the same conversation. The Carrier Report puts them together with source limitations and practical takeaways.

What you get on signup
Fleet + authority snapshot
Fleet size, authority status, and current insurer in one view — no tab-switching across FMCSA tools.
Filing history + estimated renewal window
Insurance filings, prior insurer, and coverage effective dates — see which carriers are approaching their renewal window before competitors do.
Safety depth from the public record
CSA BASIC percentiles, a 24-month safety panel, crash history, and coverage continuity — every factor traced to a public FMCSA record, with thin data disclosed rather than scored around. FMCSA's BASIC measures remain the authoritative public safety signal.
FMCSA data versus insurance intelligence
FMCSA is the authoritative public source. DOT Intel is the working layer that connects those records, explains what changed, and makes the next insurance decision easier.
Do-it-yourself
You can look up a carrier and download FMCSA data at no charge. Turning it into a repeatable insurance workflow still takes time, data skills, and maintenance.
DOT Intel
Search one connected carrier record, compare like accounts, monitor changes, and move the result into a list, report, watchlist, or pipeline without rebuilding the research.
Put the insight to work
Assess account risk
Read authority, fleet, insurance continuity, safety activity, crashes, inspections, and violations together. Observed records stay separate from DOT Intel's directional indicators, with source and freshness context attached.
Example workflow: flag a 12-power-unit account with two insurer changes and a recent fleet increase for a deeper conversation before placement.
Prepare account placement
See the filing insurer, filed limits, prior insurance history, fleet profile, cargo, operating radius, and observed market alignment before deciding where the account may deserve a look.
Example workflow: explain why a seasoned 4-24 power-unit fleet resembles accounts an insurer has recently carried-without calling that observation confirmed appetite.
Read market dynamics
Compare carrier-of-record filing counts and momentum across states, insurer families, cargo segments, and 1–3, 4–24, or 25+ power-unit fleets. Find where books appear to be expanding, stable, or contracting.
Example workflow: identify which insurer families are gaining mid-fleet trucking accounts in Texas before planning producer outreach or a territory conversation.
Why DOT Intel exists
DOT Intel was built because producers were still jumping between FMCSA pages, insurance filings, spreadsheets, and market conversations just to understand one trucking account.
DOT Intel puts that work in one place. It helps you find the account, understand what changed, review the insurance and safety record, and have a better conversation with the underwriter.
The founding intent is simple: make useful carrier intelligence accessible to agents building a book, including those working with a small budget. Start with the evidence you need to prepare for the next conversation, and build from there.
It won't tell you who will write the account. It will help you know who to think about and what questions to ask.
