Trucking insurance research

Understand the trucking account before you make the call.

Find the account, review its insurance and safety history, and prepare a report you can use with your next submission. Keep working with the agency systems you already use.

The work it helps you do

Find it. Review it. Take a useful report with you.

Start with a USDOT number or a prospect search. Read the account's records and the reasons it deserves attention before deciding what to do next.

Find accounts that fit your book

Filter motor carriers by state, fleet size, insurer, and estimated renewal window. Review the account before adding it to your prospect list.

Put the report to work

Three reasons to open an account.

Prepare a call

Review fleet size, public insurance history, and recent filing activity. Ask about what changed and verify estimated dates.

Support a submission

Use the report as supporting information alongside the application, schedules, and loss runs. It does not replace the underwriter's review.

Research placement

Review observed insurer activity with similar accounts. Bring better questions to the market without treating filing activity as confirmed appetite.

Supporting tools when you need them

Watchlists help you follow accounts. Pipeline and Submission Desk help organize follow-up and submission work. Verified-domain email is optional. You can get the value of the report without moving your agency into a new CRM.

Before you start

What the records can—and cannot—tell you.

No. Use the carrier report with your existing agency systems. Pipeline, Submission Desk, and verified-domain email are supporting tools for customers who choose to use them; they are not a prerequisite for researching an account.

No. An estimated renewal window is a model based on available records, not a confirmed expiration date or proof that a fleet is shopping. Verify dates and current coverage with the insured.

No. A missing current filing means no current filing was found in the available records. It is not proof that the fleet has no insurance.

Source dates matter. Carrier, authority, and insurance pipelines use the available FMCSA feeds; SMS safety results follow FMCSA's publication schedule. Review the dates and any missing-data notice on the account before relying on a finding.

FMCSA remains the authoritative public source. DOT Intel organizes carrier, insurance, authority, and safety records around insurance work, adds insurer comparisons and labeled estimates, and gives you a report you can use alongside an application and loss history.
