Find carriers that actually run your lane. Not who paid to be there.

Search any lane in plain English. Every carrier that comes back is verified in the federal record: active authority, insurance on file, no blocking issues. The ranking is lane evidence, safety against peers, and observed activity.

Ask for the lane the way you'd say it

No filter grid to fight. Type the equipment, the lane and the size.

Free with an account: 3 new lanes or areas a day, each one refined as often as you like.

Built from 29 federal datasets. Carrier status, insurance, and inspections refresh daily.

The top of a ranked sourcing list for Dallas, TX to Atlanta, GA flatbed: 8 carriers observed at both ends of the lane, sorted by recommended fit, each row carrying the carrier name and USDOT, authority age, power units, the same-truck movements observed along I-20, the liability cover on file and a verdict chip.

Illustrative composite: fictional carriers, unissued USDOT numbers.

Why this carrier

Every result explains itself

A name in a list is not enough. Each row carries its evidence: how much and how recently the carrier has been observed running your lane, the fleet seen on the road, and how long it has held authority. The full report is one click away.

A single result row from the ranked list: carrier name and USDOT, active authority held 18 years, 64 power units, the same-truck movements observed along I-20 and when the carrier was last seen there, whether it is registered near the pickup, the liability cover on file, a verdict chip reading no blockers or cautions found, and the row actions.

Illustrative composite: a fictional carrier, an unissued USDOT number.

How ranking works

Ranked by evidence, nothing else

The order is lane evidence first, then safety against peer carriers. fleetfax takes no money from carriers, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to game.

01

How much the carrier has run the lane

Carriers with more observed activity on the corridor you asked for rank higher than carriers seen there once.

02

How recent that activity is

A carrier running the lane this quarter ranks ahead of one that last ran it two years ago.

03

Safety against peer carriers

Among carriers with similar lane fit, a cleaner safety record against peer carriers ranks higher, and carriers with blocking issues sink to the bottom.

That is the entire list. Our customers are the freight professionals doing the vetting, never the carriers being ranked.
No advertisements

Nobody buys their way to the top

Directories sell their top spots, and brokers burn hours calling carriers whose only qualification was paying to be listed. fleetfax earns its order in the federal record. No sponsored placements, no featured slots, just observable data.

The ranked list

From a lane to a short list

A free account shows the whole ranked list, every row one click from the carrier's full report. You get 3 new lanes or areas a day, each one refined as often as you like.

The ranked sourcing list for Dallas, TX to Atlanta, GA flatbed, with the operating map open beneath it: 8 carriers observed at both ends of the lane, sorted by Recommended fit, with a line noting 19 more carriers held back for inactive authority, no insurance on file, or blocking issues. Each row card carries the carrier name and USDOT, authority age, power units, the same-truck movements observed along I-20, the liability cover on file, a verdict chip, and the row actions. Below the list, the lane map plots the plausible interstate route between Dallas and Atlanta with each listed carrier's registered address.

One lane, ranked — map included. 8 carriers observed at both ends of Dallas to Atlanta with flatbed confirmed, and 19 more held back because their authority is inactive, they carry no insurance on file, or they have blocking issues. Recommended fit blends how much and how recently each carrier ran the route with safety against peer carriers, so the top row is not simply the biggest inspection count. The map beneath the list plots the route and where each listed carrier is registered. Illustrative composite: fictional carriers, unissued USDOT numbers.

The product views on this page are illustrative composites, made in August 2026: the real interface, rendered against carriers and figures authored for the images. Carrier names are fictional and their USDOT numbers unissued. The federal record moves daily, so a live view will differ.

Works with your policy

Set your rules once. Every carrier you open is checked against them.

The result is your policy speaking, not a fleetfax verdict.

Within or outside, rule by rule

Every carrier you open shows where it stands, with the governing rule named, and says plainly where the record could not settle one. Reading one carrier against your rules is free; the whole book at once is part of fleetfax Pro.

From a lane to the whole record

Every result carries its full report, so you can go from a lane search to the carrier's whole federal record without leaving the page.

The fleetfax policy editor: fourteen rules listed, twelve switched on, each written as a sentence with the broker's own number typed into it — liability coverage at least $1,000,000, authority granted at least 12 months ago, no revocation in the last 24 months, vehicle out-of-service rate no more than 30 percent, no BASIC worse than the 80th percentile. A blocker-or-caution control sits beside every rule.

Every rule reads one field of the federal record directly. The numbers are yours, and so is the grading — fleetfax reports the facts against your line and never adds a verdict of its own. Illustrative composite: the rule set shown was authored for this image.
