Commercial Trucking Insurance Intelligence
Find trucking accounts your producers can actually place.
DOT Intel turns FMCSA records, insurance filings, safety signals, and insurer market activity into targeted commercial trucking insurance intelligence — helping producers know who to call, why now, what market may write it, and what risk story to prepare.

Start with a USDOT. Find the insurance opportunity.
Every USDOT resolves — all 1.7M FMCSA-registered carriers, not a sample. Look up a motor carrier and see the signals your team needs before prospecting, quoting, underwriting, or routing the opportunity.

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 + renewal timing
Insurance filings, prior insurer, policy effective date — flag carriers in their renewal window before competitors. Renewal estimate ships Q3 2026.
Risk signal preview (v0.3)
BASIC alert exposure and 24-month safety panel today; calibrated risk percentile in next release.

Two BASIC alerts (Unsafe Driving, HOS) in the trailing 24 months; crash-free last 12. Reads steady, not deteriorating.
Entering renewal window with a carrier that recently tightened mid-fleet appetite — a fit-matched replacement market is worth a call now.
Add to a renewal watchlist, pull the matched-market shortlist, and route to the producer who owns the Dallas territory.
Illustrative example — not a live FMCSA record. Live lookups resolve real carrier data. Premium figures shown anywhere in DOT Intel are illustrative, never a quote.
Look up a real USDOTThe problem
Trucking insurance teams are buried in fragmented data.
FMCSA, SAFER, BASIC, insurance filings, agency directories, fleet census, authority history — the signal exists in public data, but it lives across half a dozen systems with no shared key.
Producers
Chase accounts without knowing fit or renewal timing.
Burn the week researching fleets that won't match a carrier's appetite — power-unit count, garaging state, radius, safety profile, prior carrier — only to learn at submission.
Underwriters
Triage by manual lookup across eight FMCSA tools.
Same eight tabs, every account, every day: USDOT lookup, SAFER, insurance history, BASIC tables, the agency's submission email.
Carrier distribution
Cannot see which agencies and carriers are active in a market.
Territory plans run on anecdotes and stale appointment lists. Where the lift would actually pay off is invisible until someone leaves a competitor.
Territory managers
Rely on stale reports and anecdotal feedback.
Monthly production decks read like last quarter's news. Market share and insurer movement go unanswered between board meetings.
Wholesalers + MGAs
Waste cycles on poor-fit submissions.
Submissions filter back as appetite mismatches. The signal that would have caught it lives in three different agency CRMs, not in the submission.
Product + GTM leaders
Market signals are public, but not organized into action.
The data is there — fleet growth, authority changes, filing updates, appointment patterns. Nobody has time to roll it up into a watchlist before the quarter ends.
DOT Intel turns scattered trucking insurance signals into one intelligence layer.
The platform
From public filings to insurance intelligence.
Four steps that run continuously so your team opens the dashboard and finds the answers, not the raw data.
01
Ingest
Pull FMCSA filings, authority records, insurance history, safety signals, fleet census, agency data, and market records on each source's natural cadence.
02
Normalize
Clean, deduplicate, structure, and map records across carriers, agencies, insurers, locations, and parent companies — 32 insurer parents, 56 children, fleet sizing from active power-unit counts.
03
Analyze
Surface risk signals, renewal timing, prospect fit, agency distribution fit, carrier movement, and territory opportunity. Calibrated against FMCSA's own alert flags before any score is asserted.
04
Activate
Build watchlists, reports, prospect lists, recruit lists, alerts, and CRM-ready exports. Your team opens to answers — not to a tab of raw FMCSA tables.
One intelligence layer
One intelligence layer. Two focused workflows.
DOT Intel is the platform. DOT Carriers is the brand-specific lookup surface optimized for the wedge your team works in.
DOT Intel
The parent intelligence platform for trucking insurance strategy.
Cross-audience hub for producers, underwriters, distribution leaders, MGAs, territory managers, and product teams. Carrier + market intelligence in one surface.
You are hereDOT Carriers
Motor carrier intelligence for prospecting, underwriting triage, renewal timing, and quote prioritization.
Carrier-first lookup surface for retail agents, wholesalers, MGAs, and underwriting teams. USDOT-driven; ranked-by-fit prospecting.
Built for your team
Different teams. Different workflows. One intelligence layer.
Each role gets a starting workflow tuned to the data they need — without rebuilding the same FMCSA + insurance + agency map from scratch.
Producers
- Pain
- Burning the week researching fleets that won't match any carrier's appetite — power units, garaging state, safety profile — only to find out at submission.
- Signal
- USDOT lookup surfaces fleet snapshot + insurance history + BASIC exposure + renewal-window flag in one screen. No tab-switching across FMCSA tools.
- Action
- Run a lookup → save to a renewal watchlist → pull the matched-market shortlist → call the account before competitors see the window.
Underwriters
- Pain
- The same eight tabs, every account, every day: USDOT lookup, SAFER, insurance history, BASIC tables, the agency's submission email. Manual and slow.
- Signal
- Carrier intelligence view consolidates the eight tabs into one read: authority, fleet, 24-month BASIC + crash, insurer history, prior carrier, filing count.
- Action
- Open the carrier-intelligence view → review the 24-month safety panel → route or decline in minutes, not hours.
Wholesalers / MGAs
- Pain
- Submissions filter back as appetite mismatches. The signal that would have caught it lived in three different agency CRMs, not in the submission.
- Signal
- Submission-DOT lookup pre-fills carrier fit + safety read in one screen. Match against bound markets' appetite before the submission touches a desk.
- Action
- Drop a USDOT in the triage view → see fit + risk + market match → accept, decline, or route with a rationale already written.
Carrier Distribution
- Pain
- Territory plans run on anecdotes and stale appointment lists. Where the lift would actually pay off is invisible until someone leaves a competitor.
- Signal
- Agency search by state + trucking-focus score + producer contacts. Carrier movement signals show where business is shifting before it shows up in production decks.
- Action
- Filter agencies by state + trucking-focus tier → export the recruit list → route outreach to producers with the highest appointment fit.
Territory Managers
- Pain
- Monthly production decks read like last quarter's news. Market share and insurer movement go unanswered between board meetings.
- Signal
- Territory intelligence view by state + class. Filing-update + appointment-signal feeds replace anecdotes with current insurer share, fleet-density shifts, and opportunity ranks.
- Action
- Open territory intelligence for your state → review the appointment-shift signals → update the territory plan with current data, not last quarter's deck.
Auditable signals
Auditable signals. Reports your team can actually use.
Every signal traces back to public FMCSA filings + insurance records + agency data. Method documented; algorithms version-tagged; nothing fake.

Fleet data
Power units + drivers + operation type from MCMIS census; recomputed on each refresh.
Safety signals
SMS BASIC measures + FMCSA's `_ac` alert flags + crash + inspection counts on a 24-month window.
Agency records
1,887 agencies + 23,546 producer contacts via Seven16 Intel integration; trucking-focus scored.
Carrier ↔ insurer mapping
Current insurer + prior insurer + policy effective date derived from latest BMC filing.
Refresh cadence
Census + authority + current insurance status: daily. Insurance filing history: monthly (FMCSA file cadence). SMS BASIC + safety: monthly. Agency records: weekly.
DOT Intel computes derivative signals (Opportunity Score, Risk Signal, Renewal Window estimate) using a documented methodology — see /methodology for formula, source data, and validation gates. DOT Intel is not a federal safety rating system; FMCSA's BASIC measures and `_ac` alert flags remain the authoritative public safety signals.
