A package to help interface with the Federal

Concepts

There are two kinds of reports returned by this library.

One is a "full report", which includes all the possible queries from the API for a given carrier.

The other is a "partial report", which will include only some basic information.

searchCarrierName returns partial reports, you should call the getFullReport with the DOT number to obtain the full version.

You can check if a report is full or not by the full-report property on the returned objects.

Usage

You will need to obtain a key from the FMCSA, you can do that here

use LoadPartner\FmcsaSaferApi\FmcsaSafer;

$apiKey = "xxxxx";  //your fmcsa safer API key
$svc = new FmcsaSafer($apiKey);
$svc->searchCarrierName('Trucks');  //returns a list of partial reports for matching carriers

// or search by exact DOT

$svc->getFullReport('1');   // returns the full report for a carrier based on DOT
