Check a carrier list against the census at once
SAFER handles one USDOT number per search. A working carrier list runs to hundreds of names. Paste yours here and you get back the records with a stale or missing MCS‑150 date, and nothing else.
The free check reads 10 numbers, three times a day. Paste more and the first 10 are checked, so you can see it work on carriers you know. Need the whole book? Check up to 2,500 and get both CSVs plus a dated report for $19.
Why a broker looks at this
A stale date is a fact about a record, and that's the whole of what we are telling you. What makes it worth a look is the regulation itself: 49 CFR 390.19T describes deactivation for failure to file. FMCSA has temporarily suspended that step while Motus problems continue, so this page does not treat a stale date as a present finding that a carrier may not operate.
Nothing on this page says a carrier has done anything wrong, and nothing here puts any obligation on you. The record is older than the schedule its own number assigns. Usually one phone call to the carrier settles it.
Read every result on this site with this in mind
FMCSA moved carrier registration to Motus in May 2026. It has temporarily suspended USDOT inactivation for missed biennial updates since June 1 while the new system stabilizes.
Two things follow. A record that looks past due may belong to a carrier who tried to file and could not. And the deactivation the regulation describes isn't currently being applied. Treat a stale date as a reason to ask the carrier, not as a conclusion about them.
