What Is The Safety Record of the Truck That Hit You?

What Is The Safety Record of the Truck that Hit You?

If you have been in a wreck with a tractor-trailer, you know the damage they can cause.  Because these trucks are bigger, heavier, longer, and harder to stop, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has made trucking companies adhere to higher safety standards when it comes to driving these big rigs.  Many, if not most, trucking companies take shortcuts when it comes to safety.  In an attempt to find out which trucking companies are the most dangerous, the FMCSA designed The Safety and Finess Electronic Records (SAFER) System.  Its goal was to provide the public and trucking industry service providers with safety information on individual trucking companies.

You have access to this information.  Let me show you how to do it:

1. Go to safer.fmcsa.dot.gov
2. Under the heading FMCSA searches, click on the section “Company Snapshot”
3. After clicking on this heading you can find the motor carrier based upon the company’s name, US DOT Number or MC/MX Number.
4. Next, you will find the “Company Snapshot”

Here is one I have pulled on Western Express, for example.
