TERMS OF
USE

NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

CoopCheck provides publicly available data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and applies proprietary pattern analysis to identify potential chameleon carrier activity. This information is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute:

• Legal advice or a legal determination of any kind
• A formal safety rating or FMCSA enforcement action
• A recommendation to hire or reject any carrier
• A consumer report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

CoopCheck is not a licensed consumer reporting agency. This tool should not be used as the sole basis for any business decision involving carrier selection, employment, or contracting.

NO WARRANTY ON DATA

Data displayed on CoopCheck is sourced from FMCSA public records and is subject to the accuracy and timeliness of that underlying data. CoopCheck makes no representations or warranties — express or implied — regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information on this site.

Chameleon cluster detection is based on shared phone numbers and physical addresses across FMCSA registrations. A cluster match does not conclusively prove fraudulent activity — it indicates a pattern that warrants further investigation.

Risk labels (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM) reflect algorithmic scoring based on cluster size and are not official FMCSA designations.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

CoopCheck and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or reliance on information presented on this site, including but not limited to:

• Business decisions made based on carrier risk scores or cluster data
• Inaccurate or outdated carrier information
• False positives or false negatives in chameleon detection
• Any losses resulting from carrier relationships entered into or avoided based on this data

WHERE DATA COMES FROM

All carrier registration data is sourced from the FMCSA public database, which is maintained by the U.S. Department of Transportation. CoopCheck is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the FMCSA or any government agency.

Inspection, crash, and violation records are sourced from data.transportation.gov and are updated periodically. Real-time carrier lookups use the FMCSA Query Central API.

DISPUTING YOUR DATA

If you believe your company is incorrectly listed, scored, or associated with a cluster, you may submit a dispute via our Contact & Tips page. Select "Dispute my carrier data" and provide your DOT number and a description of the inaccuracy.

We will review all disputes and correct errors in a timely manner. Note that underlying FMCSA data errors must be corrected directly with the FMCSA — CoopCheck cannot modify government records.

UPDATES TO THESE TERMS

These terms may be updated at any time. Continued use of CoopCheck following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
