The API also indicates whether the carrier is authorized to transport hazardous materials, which is essential for those working with this type of cargo. This information helps users ensure that they are choosing carriers that meet the required safety standards.

This improves the efficiency of transport operations, as users can quickly connect with carriers for consultation or coordination.
The API also includes historical information, such as the date the carrier's data was last updated and the total mileage logged, providing insight into the carrier's experience and activity in the industry. This data is crucial for customers looking to evaluate a carrier's reliability and experience.
