The site exports everything at once (several MB for large fleets); this function pages the records client-side, 50 per call, inspections first, then crashes, then serious violations, with totals of each and the export's snapshot date. - [Search carriers](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/safer-fmcsa-dot-gov/carriers/search_carriers): SAFER carrier name search (keywordx.asp): every carrier whose legal or DBA name contains the text, with its USDOT number, city/state and Company Snapshot URL. The site returns at most 500 matches and has no paging; `truncated` is true (and coverage partial) when that cap was hit, so narrow the name. A name that matches nothing is a successful empty result. - [Search sms carriers](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/safer-fmcsa-dot-gov/carriers/search_sms_carriers): SMS carrier search (ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Search): carriers whose name contains the query, 50 per page with the total count, each with USDOT number, legal and DBA names, operation, country, service center, state, county, city, passenger/hazmat/new-entrant flags, power units, total inspections and total crashes (24 months). Page 1 is the search form's POST; later pages are the site's SimpleSearchResults fragment, reached with the returned continuation cursor. A query that is a bare USDOT number is resolved by the site to that one carrier. A query that matches nothing is a successful empty result. - [Suggest sms carrier names](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/safer-fmcsa-dot-gov/carriers/suggest_sms_carrier_names): SMS carrier-name autocomplete (ToolbarHint.aspx): the name prefixes the SMS search box proposes for at least three typed characters, about ten strings. ## 1. Choose this provider when FMCSA's public motor carrier safety data: the SAFER Company Snapshot system (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov: carrier name search, Company Snapshot by USDOT or MC/MX number with identity, authority, fleet size, drivers, cargo, 24-month inspection/out-of-service/crash counts and safety rating) and the Safety Measurement System (ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS: paginated carrier search with power units, inspection and crash totals, carrier overview with BASIC status, investigations and activity summary, the per-carrier XML export of individual inspections, violations and crashes, and name autocomplete).

Capability: `carriers/search_carriers` - Description: SAFER carrier name search (keywordx.asp): every carrier whose legal or DBA name contains the text, with its USDOT number, city/state and Company Snapshot URL. The site returns at most 500 matches and has no paging; `truncated` is true (and coverage partial) when that cap was hit, so narrow the name. A name that matches nothing is a successful empty result. - Instructions: You know (part of) a motor carrier's name and need its USDOT number before calling get_carrier_snapshot, get_sms_overview or get_sms_safety_records. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Search carriers](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/safer-fmcsa-dot-gov/carriers/search_carriers) Accepted options: - `name` (string, required): Text contained in the carrier's legal or DBA name (case-insensitive; the site adds its own wildcards). Example: `` Response schema example: ```json { "count": 3, "observed_at_ms": 1791157477597, "query": "WERNER ENTERPRISES", "results": [ { "city": "MILTON", "location": "MILTON, ON", "name": "WERNER ENTERPRISES CANADA CORPORATION", "snapshot_url": "https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&query_string=1054507", "state": "ON", "usdot_number": "1054507" }, { "city": "OMAHA", "location": "OMAHA, NE", "name": "WERNER ENTERPRISES INC", "snapshot_url": "https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&query_string=53467", "state": "NE", "usdot_number": "53467" }, { "city": "GONZALES", "location": "GONZALES, LA", "name": "WERNER ENTERPRISES LLC", "snapshot_url": "https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&query_string=5965315", "state": "LA", "usdot_number": "5965315" } ], "source_url": "https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/keywordx.asp?searchstring=*WERNER+ENTERPRISES*&SEARCHTYPE=", "truncated": false } ``` ### Search sms carriers - Capability: `carriers/search_sms_carriers` - Description: SMS carrier search (ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Search): carriers whose name contains the query, 50 per page with the total count, each with USDOT number, legal and DBA names, operation, country, service center, state, county, city, passenger/hazmat/new-entrant flags, power units, total inspections and total crashes (24 months). Page 1 is the search form's POST; later pages are the site's SimpleSearchResults fragment, reached with the returned continuation cursor. A query that is a bare USDOT number is resolved by the site to that one carrier. A query that matches nothing is a successful empty result. - Instructions: You want a listing with fleet size and safety totals per carrier, or more than SAFER's 500-match cap allows, and want to page through it. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Search sms carriers](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/safer-fmcsa-dot-gov/carriers/search_sms_carriers) Accepted options: - `continuation` (string): Opaque cursor from a previous call's meta.page.next_cursor (`:`); omit for page 1. Example: `:` - `query` (string, required): Carrier name text (contains match) or a USDOT number.
