Overview

About the API:

This API provides information about all the companies that are registered with the US Department of Transport.  

Who is required to have a USDOT?

If you have a vehicle that is used for business (Landscaper, service truck) you must have a US DOT Number. If you haul goods that you own within your state or if you cross state lines to deliver those goods you must also have a DOT Number.

Companies that operate commercial vehicles transporting passengers or hauling cargo in interstate commerce must have a USDOT number and MC Number. Also, commercial intrastate hazardous materials carriers who haul quantities requiring a safety permit must register for a USDOT Number. The USDOT Number serves as a unique identifier when collecting and monitoring a company's safety information acquired during audits, compliance reviews, crash investigations, and inspections.

 

What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

This API allows you to check companies' information based on their DOT numbers, the License Plate of any of their vehicles, also, by its name. 

The API will deliver all the company information related to that search. Business name, address, phone, and information about their inspections and violations. 

 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

Fraud detection: A USDOT number (sometimes called a DOT number or US DOT number) is important because it protects customers against fraud. It’s an easy way to check a company’s safety record and complaint history—and to verify the company is legitimate.

 

The easiest way to verify a company is legit is to make sure the info on its website matches what you see when you search the FMCSA’s website:

  • USDOT number. If a company website doesn’t display its USDOT number, you can do an FMCSA search by the company’s name.
  • Name. Make sure the company name in the FMCSA database is the same as the company you think you’re hiring.
  • Address and phone number. Check to see if the address and phone number from the FMCSA website match the company’s website.
  • State carrier ID number. If the company isn’t required to have a USDOT number, the state carrier ID number verifies that it’s licensed for intrastate moving.
  • Operating status. This should say “ACTIVE” if a company is legitimate and safe to hire. Avoid companies that return results of “Inactive USDOT Number,” “OUT-OF-SERVICE,” or “NOT AUTHORIZED.”

 

Are there any limitations to your plans?

Besides API call limitations per month, there are no other limitations. 

Motor Carrier Search API FAQs

Each endpoint returns detailed information about trucking companies. The "Search By License Plate" endpoint provides company details linked to a specific license plate. The "Search By DOT Number" endpoint returns comprehensive data about a company associated with a USDOT number. The "Search By Name" endpoint lists multiple companies related to a search term, including their DOT numbers and operational details.

Key fields in the response data include DOT_NUMBER, LEGAL_NAME, CARRIER_OPERATION, PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, TELEPHONE, EMAIL_ADDRESS, and inspection statistics. These fields provide essential information about the company's registration, operations, and safety record.

The response data is structured in JSON format, with a top-level object containing a status code and description. For successful queries, data is nested under specific keys like MCC_INFO for company details and SMS_AB_Pass_Property for inspection data, making it easy to parse and utilize.

The "Search By License Plate" endpoint provides company ownership details and inspection records. The "Search By DOT Number" endpoint offers comprehensive company data, including contact information and safety records. The "Search By Name" endpoint returns a list of companies matching the search term, along with their DOT numbers and operational details.

The data is sourced from the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This ensures that the information is official and up-to-date, reflecting the current status of registered trucking companies.

Users can customize their requests by specifying parameters such as license plate number, USDOT number, or company name in the API call. This allows for targeted searches to retrieve specific company information based on user needs.

Typical use cases include verifying the legitimacy of trucking companies, conducting safety audits, and ensuring compliance with regulations. Businesses can use this data to protect themselves from fraud and make informed hiring decisions.

If a search returns no results, the API will provide a response with a code indicating no data found (e.g., {"Code":404,"Description":"No result found!"}). Users should check their input parameters for accuracy and consider alternative search terms or values to improve results.

Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world's most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

You can monitor your API usage through the response headers included with every request:

x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-used: Shows the total number of API requests you have used during the current billing period.
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-remaining: Shows the number of API requests you have remaining for the current billing period.

The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Simply go to the Pricing section of the API you're subscribed to and click the "Unsubscribe" button.

Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Once your subscription is canceled, access to the service will end immediately, regardless of any remaining API calls in your quota.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it's important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
