About FreightVet
Built for shippers who need neutral data — not platforms that profit from the transaction.
The US freight market moves $900 billion in goods every year. The federal government tracks safety performance for every registered motor carrier — crash rates, inspection results, driver violations, insurance lapses — through the FMCSA's Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program.
That data is public. But it's buried in government databases built for regulators, not for shippers. Meanwhile, the platforms that could surface it — load boards, freight marketplaces, broker portals — all profit from freight transactions. They have no incentive to show you data that might make you reject a carrier.
FreightVet exists because that conflict of interest doesn't go away on its own. We don't broker freight. We don't earn commissions. We have one job: make FMCSA safety data accessible so shippers can verify a carrier in under two minutes, before cargo leaves the dock.

Who Built This
FreightVet was built by a team with backgrounds in freight logistics, carrier compliance, and data engineering. The founding team spent years watching the same conflict repeat across the industry: the platforms shippers rely on to find carriers all profit from freight volume, not from freight safety. Brokers, load boards, and freight marketplaces have a structural incentive to move cargo — not to surface data that might cause a shipper to reject a carrier.
FreightVet was built outside that system specifically so it could operate without those conflicts. We don't broker freight. We don't earn commissions. The editorial team oversees all safety methodology, carrier analysis, and shipper resources.

Data Sources
Every data point on FreightVet is sourced from publicly available FMCSA records:
Safety Measurement System (SMS)
Percentile scores across all 7 BASIC categories
Roadside Inspection Records
Inspection counts, violations, out-of-service rates
Crash Reports
DOT-reportable crashes from the past 24 months
Insurance Records
Active insurance filings and operating authority status
Census File
Fleet size, cargo types, and operating region
Enforcement Actions
OOS orders, compliance reviews, and penalties
Safety Scoring Methodology
Our composite safety score (0–100) and letter grade (A–F) are calculated from a carrier's CSA BASIC percentile scores, weighted by severity and recency. The heaviest weights go to crash indicator, unsafe driving, and vehicle maintenance — the categories most predictive of future incidents.
We also factor in out-of-service rates relative to national averages. A carrier with 40% of vehicles placed OOS at inspection has a structural maintenance problem regardless of what their CSA percentiles show.
The methodology is designed to be directional, not definitive. A single score can't capture everything — but it can tell a shipper in two seconds whether a carrier warrants closer scrutiny.
What We Don't Do
- —We don't broker freight or earn commissions on shipments.
- —We don't sell carrier leads.
- —We don't accept payment from carriers in exchange for higher scores or better rankings.
- —We don't suppress negative data. High-risk flags are shown regardless of carrier status.
- —Carriers who purchase verified-safety badges receive enhanced profiles — not altered scores.
