Frequently asked questions about the FMCSA Licensing & Insurance MCP Server
How can I check if a carrier is currently authorized to transport goods?
You can use the get_carrier_authority tool with the carrier's DOT number. This will return the official operating authority status directly from FMCSA records.
Can I find a carrier's DOT number if I only have their business name?
Yes, use the search_carriers_by_name tool. Provide the Legal or DBA name, and the agent will return a list of matching carriers along with their U.S. DOT numbers.
Does this tool show safety ratings and inspection violations?
Yes. The get_carrier_basics tool retrieves safety performance data (BASIC measures), and get_carrier_oos provides data on Out-of-Service orders.
