What does the federal record say about your fleet's insurance?

This is what the federal record says about your fleet's insurance.

Type your USDOT number and see your most recent liability filing exactly as it appears in FMCSA's public data — insurer of record, filed coverage, and the filing date your renewal cycle is built around.

Every line of it comes straight from FMCSA's public files — nothing cached, nothing edited. Two things you can do with it: leave your email and we'll watch that filing for you, or get the submission packet built around it.

  • Pulled live from FMCSA public data — nothing cached, nothing edited
  • Free. No signup, no email, no calls
  • We prepare paperwork — we don't sell insurance and never will
Free lookup
Straight from the federal record, in about two seconds. We never hand your USDOT or your email to agents, brokers, or lead buyers.
Your fleet's federal filing record
Straight from FMCSA's public files — nothing cached, nothing edited.
This record shows the insurer on file, the filing dates, and — while a filing is in force — how many days remain before its anniversary. Two things you can do with it: have us watch this record for free, or get the submission file built around it.
It's on your cab door and your MCS-150. No account or email required. We record the number, the date, which link brought you here, and whether the request came from a browser or from a script — nothing that identifies you.

Why the filing date matters

Renewal is first-come, first-served behind the scenes

Once a broker submits your account to a carrier, that carrier is generally locked to that broker for the cycle. Whoever starts first controls which markets you can still reach.

~90 days out

Every market is still open. A broker can approach any carrier — and a complete submission is ready to hand over the day you decide to shop.

~30 days out

Renewal quotes typically arrive now — after most of your options have quietly closed. This is where most fleets find out.

The fix

Have the paperwork ready before the window closes. That's the whole idea — no advice, no calls, just a complete file, early.

The product

The Renewal Packet

Everything a broker needs to shop your renewal, assembled around your USDOT and your own records. Hand it to any broker — including your current one. We are not one of them and take nothing from any of them. Everything in the free lookup is public — any broker can pull it in two seconds. The rest of the submission isn't, and assembling it is the whole job.

  • 1
    Loss-run request lettersReady to send to your insurer and your agent of record, with a follow-up escalation schedule so the request doesn't quietly stall.
  • 2
    Driver roster builderWith a medical-certificate expiry checklist — the item underwriters most often bounce a submission over.
  • 3
    Equipment scheduleVINs, values, lienholders — laid out the way underwriters ask for it.
  • 4
    Your public safety-record compilationInspection, violation and crash history from five federal datasets, presented as plain facts. The hardest part to assemble yourself.
  • 5
    Market-assignment worksheetA written record of which broker you authorized to approach which carriers, so a second opinion can't lock you out of your own markets.

Same packet either way, within 2 business days. Pay once and that's the end of it — or $199 a year to have it kept current: your filing record watched daily, and the packet rebuilt every year. Both carry the same 14-day full refund.

  • Your public FMCSA filing record re-checked every day, with an email if the insurer of record changes, a filing appears, or one is cancelled

This one recurs: $199 today, then $199 automatically every 12 months until you cancel. Cancel in one click from the link in your receipt — no email, no call. Cancelling keeps the year you paid for.

Just the packet
$199 once

The same five documents, delivered once, within 2 business days. No subscription, nothing recurs, nothing to cancel — and no record watch or reminders afterwards.

14-day full refund. Reply to the delivery email within 14 days and we refund the full $199 — no forms, no questions asked.

Don't take our word for the data. Run the free lookup, then pull the same USDOT on FMCSA's own SAFER system (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov) and its L&I insurance search (li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov). The numbers should match, because that's where ours come from.

No calls, ever — and payment runs through Stripe, so we never see your card.

Have us watch your record instead. Every day we check your USDOT against the public FMCSA filing record, and email you if it changes. No card, no newsletter, no calls — and it stays free whether you ever buy anything or not. Run the free lookup and the signup under your record says exactly what the watch does for your filing.

Look up my fleet — free Watch my filing — free

RenewalReady is operated by SignalMade — that's the name on the payment page and your card statement.

After checkout: one email asking for the two things public records can't tell us — your agent of record, and who signs the letters. Your roster and equipment sheets arrive pre-sized to your FMCSA counts for you to fill in and keep; no driver or vehicle data is ever sent to us. Everything from the public record is already filled in.

Straight answers

Questions worth asking

Never heard of you. How do I know this is real?

Check us against the government's own sites: run the free lookup, then pull the same USDOT on FMCSA's SAFER system (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov) and its L&I insurance search (li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov). The numbers should match, because that's where ours come from. Payment runs through Stripe — we never see your card. Every page of the packet is shown on the sample page before you pay.

Why wouldn't I just call my agent?

You should. This isn't a replacement for your agent — it's the file your agent keeps asking you for: loss runs, a current roster, a clean equipment schedule and your safety record, gathered before the deadline instead of during it.

Is this insurance advice?

No. We are not licensed to give insurance advice, and nothing in the packet crosses that line: we don't review policies, compare coverage, recommend limits, or take money from insurers. We prepare documents and report public federal records. Advice about coverage is a licensed agent's job.

What if my renewal is months away?

Then don't buy anything today. Run the free lookup and leave your email — we'll send one reminder before your filing anniversary, and a note if the insurer on your public record changes. That's it.

What actually recurs on the $199/yr plan?

Four things, and nothing else. Every day we re-check your USDOT against the public FMCSA filing record and email you if it changed — the insurer of record changing, a liability filing appearing, or one being cancelled. About 120 days before each filing anniversary you get one heads-up email — with one exception we would rather state than have you discover: if your anniversary is already nearer than 120 days on the day you subscribe, that countdown has passed and we will not send a late one, so your first heads-up comes ahead of the following anniversary. At each yearly renewal your packet is rebuilt from your record as it stands then and emailed to you within 2 business days. And the $199 is charged again on that date. There is no newsletter, no calls, and no coverage advice — the plan reports public records and prepares documents, exactly like the one-time packet.

How do I cancel the plan?

One click, from the link in your receipt, in every renewal notice, and in your anniversary reminders — it opens Stripe's own billing page, no login and no password. Cancelling stops the next charge and keeps the year you already paid for. If the link ever fails, message us and we'll cancel it by hand the same day.

What if the packet isn't useful?

Reply to the delivery email within 14 days and we refund the full $199 — no forms, no questions asked.

Where does the data come from?

FMCSA's public datasets, queried live when you hit the button: the carrier census, the insurance filing and cancellation files, and the three Safety Measurement System files — roadside inspections, violations recorded at inspection, and crashes. From those last three the free lookup shows you counts and nothing else. We don't compute or display a score, rating, grade or percentile of any kind. Filing dates aren't policy renewal dates; the public file can lag, so confirm anything that matters with your insurer.

How do I read my own filing record?

We wrote it up, free and with the regulations quoted: what a BMC-91X is and how to read yours, why a filing anniversary is not a renewal date, what a cancelled filing means, and how to request loss runs with the letters to send. All of it is in the guides, and none of it needs an account.
