Safety profile monitoring. See your federal record the way brokers do.
Your FMCSA safety rating, out-of-service rates, crash history, ISS score, and inspection record, monitored daily with alerts when something shifts.
Before a broker hands you a load or an underwriter renews your policy, they check your federal safety record. Dotra pulls your published FMCSA Safety Profile every day: safety rating, out-of-service rates by category, crash counts over the last 24 months, ISS score, and operating status, plus your roadside inspection and violation history. You see what they see, you get alerted when it changes, and when an inspection is wrong, Dotra keeps your DataQs challenge evidence organized.

The Problem
By the time you notice your record slipped, the load is gone.
A bad roadside inspection raises your out-of-service rate. A crash lands on your 24-month history. Your ISS score creeps up and inspectors start pulling your trucks in more often. None of it arrives with a notification, but brokers and insurers check it before every decision. Most carriers find out their record changed the hard way: quietly losing freight to someone with a cleaner profile.
How Dotra fixes it
The Dotra approach.
Dotra retrieves your published FMCSA Safety Profile daily using your USDOT number: safety rating, driver, vehicle, and hazmat out-of-service rates, crash counts over the prior 24 months, ISS score, fleet size, and operating status. Each snapshot is kept for trend display, so you see the direction your record is moving, not just where it stands today. When a number crosses a threshold, Dotra alerts you by email and text.
Your roadside inspection and violation history is pulled in alongside, so every event that shaped the profile is visible in one place. And when an inspection is flat wrong, Dotra keeps the supporting evidence for your FMCSA DataQs challenge organized with your records, so disputing bad data doesn't mean hunting for paperwork.

FAQ
Common questions.
Plain answers to the questions carriers ask about Safety Profile Monitoring.
See every FAQWhat is an FMCSA safety profile?
A carrier's FMCSA safety profile is the public federal record of its safety performance: safety rating, out-of-service rates from roadside inspections, crash history, ISS score, fleet size, and operating status. Brokers, insurers, and shippers check this record when deciding whether to work with a carrier. Dotra retrieves it daily and alerts you when it changes.Does Dotra show CSA BASIC percentile scores?
No, and no honest tool can. Since the FAST Act of 2015, FMCSA no longer makes carrier BASIC percentiles public; a carrier can only view its own percentiles by logging into the FMCSA Safety Measurement System portal. What is public, and what brokers and insurers actually see, is your safety profile: safety rating, out-of-service rates, crash history, and ISS score. That's what Dotra monitors.What is an ISS score?
The Inspection Selection System (ISS) score is the number roadside inspectors use to decide which trucks to pull in for inspection. A higher ISS score means more inspections, more time at the scale, and more chances for violations. Dotra tracks your ISS score daily and alerts you when it moves.What is an out-of-service rate?
Your out-of-service (OOS) rate is the percentage of your roadside inspections that resulted in a driver or vehicle being placed out of service. FMCSA publishes OOS rates by category (driver, vehicle, hazmat) and brokers compare them against national averages when vetting carriers.What is DataQs?
DataQs is the FMCSA system for challenging incorrect inspection, violation, or crash data on your federal record. A successful challenge removes bad data that's dragging your profile down. Dotra keeps your supporting evidence organized with your records so a challenge is ready to file, not a paperwork hunt.
