FleetPulse opinion — a transparent heuristic from public FMCSA data, not an official FMCSA safety rating or score.

How we call it

Go / Caution / No-go is FleetPulse's own deterministic read of the public federal record (authority, insurance, inspections, crashes, identity overlap). It is not FMCSA's SMS, BASIC, ISS, or safety rating, and not Carrier411's or Highway's scores. Every signal is computed from a named FMCSA source field — open any item's “proof” below to audit it. Composite grade rubric docs/derived-rubric.md §C (rubric version 2); ordered override rules then a weighted-sum baseline, then max(override_floor, weighted_band). Computed as of 2026-08-21.

A broker's-eye go/no-go read from public FMCSA data — the vetting lens Carrier411 and Highway charge for, free and fully sourced.

AI Analysis

The vetting lens

What a broker checks — every call from a named FMCSA field.

FleetPulse-derived heuristic
  • Authority Go

    docket '1591808' status 'A'

    proof

    Census docket1, docket1_status_code, add_date. See the federal record → Profile.

  • Insurance Caution

    Active coverage on file, below the $1M strength threshold.

    proof

    Insurance effective_date, cancl_effective_date, max_cov_amount. See the federal record → Insurance.

  • Identity / chameleon risk Go

    All evaluated identity fields are unique to this carrier.

    proof

    Cross-carrier count(distinct dot_number) over census identity fields. Red = new authority and ≥2 shared fields. See Identity sub-verdict — never a fraud determination, never names another carrier.

  • Safety / inspection posture Caution

    Safety Risk band Moderate · 2 OOS violation(s) · inspect-priority Optional.

    proof

    Inspection OOS totals, 8mt8-2mdr severity, census safety_rating. See Safety sub-verdict.

  • Crash record Caution

    1 crash(es).

    proof

    Crash fatalities, injuries, tow_away, report_date (recency-weighted). See the federal record → Crashes.

Safety posture

Moderate — recent OOS/crash signal weighs on it.

Source & rubric attribution

FleetPulse-derived heuristic over 8mt8-2mdr (violations), fx4q-ay7w (inspections), aayw-vxb3 (crashes) — rubric docs/derived-rubric.md §A. recordable_crash_rate and safety_rating are FMCSA SOURCE fields (az4n-8mr2), shown as FMCSA's own — not derived.

Inspect-priority

Optional — FleetPulse inspect-priority (not FMCSA ISS).

Source & rubric attribution

FleetPulse-derived inspect-priority heuristic over 8mt8-2mdr + fx4q-ay7w — rubric docs/derived-rubric.md §D. This is not the FMCSA ISS (Inspection Selection System) value.

Identity / chameleon

All evaluated identity fields are unique — a strength.

0 shared FleetPulse-derived heuristic
Show the proof

Not a fraud determination. A shared identity value can be perfectly legitimate (a leasing company, a registered agent, a common officer name). This is a transparent heuristic, never an accusation, and no other carrier is named.

All evaluated identity fields are unique to this carrier → strength.

  • Phone unique
  • Email address unique
  • Company officer unique
  • Physical address unique
  • Mailing address unique
  • Crash Vin 1 unique

0 risk factors / 6 strengths (fields shared with ≥25 carriers are treated as neutral context, excluded from both counts).

Source & rubric attribution

FleetPulse-derived heuristic via cross-carrier count(distinct dot_number) queries over az4n-8mr2 identity fields and aayw-vxb3 crash VINs — rubric docs/derived-rubric.md §E. shared_with = max(count − 1, 0); never a fraud determination, never names another carrier.
