I wanted to take today to talk a little bit about the records which are online with regard to safety, and fitness records of a motor carrier. The safety in fitness records of a motor carrier are available online, and there is the electronic system which was developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. You can access the safety in fitness records electronically online by going to www.safer.org. When you get to that section of the website, you’ll want to click on the button that says, “Company snapshot.”
If you have the company’s MC/MX number, you can type that in to obtain the safety and fitness records for the particular motor carrier. In order to get a little bit more information about the motor carrier, you may want to type in licensing and insurance once you get to that section. Once you are in that section, you can even type in, or find out, who the registered agent is for the company in the event that a lawsuit must be filed, and the lawsuit has to be served on the registered agent. If you have any questions whatsoever about the fitness and safety records which are electronically available online, please call my office at 770-792-1000.
