Free tools
The checks brokers run every day, free and with no signup — the same engines that power the full Draylo vetting product.
FMCSA carrier check
Run any USDOT against live federal data →
Enter a USDOT or MC number and get a green / yellow / red risk verdict from FMCSA's live records: operating authority, out-of-service orders, safety rating, insurance filings, and double-brokering signals. Works for motor carriers and brokers.
COI reader
Read a Certificate of Insurance in seconds →
Upload a carrier's COI (ACORD 25) and get the insurer, policy numbers, limits, and dates read out — checked against your own auto-liability and cargo minimums. The document is processed in memory and never stored.
Insurance lapse check
Is that COI still good? →
A COI proves coverage as of its issue date — policies get cancelled mid-term with no new certificate. Enter a USDOT and the certificate's expiration date: get a countdown, a live check of the FMCSA filings, and any cancellation the insurer has already filed.
FMCSA status board
Is SAFER or QCMobile down right now? →
FMCSA publishes no official status page, so this unofficial board probes all three federal surfaces — the SAFER website, the QCMobile API, and the L&I insurance feed — and reports what each returned, with timestamps. They fail independently; this tells you which one is broken.
Carrier vetting checklist
The 8 steps, printable — run them in order →
The full vetting sequence on one page: authority, out-of-service, authority age, insurance both layers, W-9 identity match, out-of-band contact, documentation, re-checks. Work through it on screen, print it, or have it emailed to you.
