You do not have a compliance department. CarrierMark is the next best thing: two plain scores that tell you whether your file survives a DOT audit and how it would read after a crash, with the gaps ranked so you know what to fix first.
This page showcases the product. Run the two scores on a real carrier inside the live app.
This file would mostly clear an audit but carries high litigation exposure. That gap is what a plaintiff’s lawyer attacks.
Illustrative scores, not carrier data
Would this file survive a DOT audit? Whether the record would pass a compliance review under 49 C.F.R. Part 385. The regulator’s question.
How does it play after a crash? How strongly the file supports a negligent hiring, retention, or entrustment case. The plaintiff’s lawyer’s question.
The FMCSA holds a one-truck operation to the same recordkeeping standard as a national fleet. A failed audit or an out-of-service order stops your only source of revenue, and after a crash the plaintiff’s lawyer asks you the same questions a fleet of thousands gets asked. Your file answers alone.
Most small carriers learn where the gap was when the auditor or the subpoena finds it. CarrierMark reads your file the way both of them will, then tells you what to fix first, in plain terms, without hiring anyone.
One number for whether you would pass an audit, one for how the file plays after a crash. No dashboards to learn.
The findings are ranked, so a one-truck operation spends its limited time on the gap that matters most.
You pay for your own record, not an enterprise seat you will never fill.
The record of what you knew and did is timestamped and tamper-evident, so years later the answer is a document, not your memory.
Illustrative promo, not carrier data
One system of record for every company the FMCSA touches.
Define your selection criteria once: operating authority, insurance on file, safety rating, out-of-service history, whatever your standard requires. Policies are versioned, so you can prove which rules were in force on any given date.
At selection, Vault pulls the carrier’s public FMCSA record and seals it: a timestamped snapshot of exactly what was knowable on the day of your decision. Raw data preserved as pulled. Nothing summarized away.
When business requires an exception, it runs through a structured override with a documented justification and an approver. No free-text landmines. No silent workarounds.
One click produces the decision-date record: the sealed snapshot, the policy version in force, the decision trail, bound in a tamper-evident chain proving nothing was altered after the fact.

What you decide is sealed the moment you decide it: the carrier’s public FMCSA record and the decision you made, bound in a timestamped document with a cryptographic hash and a verified chain. The file proves on its face that nothing was altered after the seal, so years later the answer to what you knew and what you did is a document, not a memory.
Vault is not an onboarding packet tool. It is not a monitoring subscription. It is not a carrier safety predictor. Keep the platforms you use to find, onboard, and track carriers. Vault sits alongside them as the evidence layer.
And one thing we will never do: tell you a carrier is “safe.” Nobody can promise you a carrier is safe, and a vendor who does is drafting a plaintiff’s exhibit. Vault documents the thing the law actually asks of you: reasonable care, exercised with the information available, recorded when it happened.
If a load you hauled ends up in court, a sealed, decision-date file answers what you knew far better than testimony ever could.
We are onboarding a founding cohort of 8 operations before general availability.
Enter a DOT number and get a free snapshot of the carrier’s current public FMCSA record, formatted the way Vault seals it.
Founding cohort applications are open. The free snapshot tool is live now.
