Side by side
Carrier411’s own website refused automated reading every time it was tried on October 29, 2026, so its features and price were not checked. This page states only what VetCarrier does and leaves each Carrier411 cell as not checked instead of repeating second-hand claims. See Carrier411’s own website for its current features and price.

When Carrier411 may be the better pick
VetCarrier does not do these things today: ongoing monitoring of the carriers you use, alerts when a carrier’s record changes, integrations with a TMS or load board, an API, reports or comments from other brokers, or a score of its own.
If your brokerage needs any of them, choose a tool that offers them instead of VetCarrier. Check on Carrier411’s own website whether its plans include what you need, and what they cost, before you decide.
VetCarrier also shows only part of the FMCSA record (authority, insurance on file, safety rating, out-of-service orders, name and address). For inspection and crash detail, use FMCSA’s SAFER Snapshot or another tool that shows it.
Why choose VetCarrier
- Paste an MC number and get the carrier’s FMCSA public record on one page.
- Save it as a dated PDF for the load file, showing when the data was retrieved and where it came from.
- 3 free checks in the browser with no signup, then $99/month per brokerage for unlimited checks.
- It shows FMCSA’s own fields and adds no score of its own; a field FMCSA does not list is shown as not listed.
Common questions
Is VetCarrier free?
The first 3 checks are free in the browser with no signup. After that VetCarrier costs $99/month per brokerage for unlimited checks, and you can cancel anytime in the billing portal.
Does VetCarrier monitor carriers or send alerts?
No. Each VetCarrier check is a one-time look at the carrier’s FMCSA public record at the moment you run it. Run a new check before each load.
Where does VetCarrier get its data?
From FMCSA’s public data service. Each check shows the date and time the data was retrieved and the source.
Does a clean check mean the carrier is safe?
No. A check shows what the FMCSA record says; it does not prove a carrier is safe or that the caller works for that carrier. Criminals copy real carrier records, so confirm the phone, email and address another way.
