Report a wrong match

How this works

How matching works
HaulQuote links public OSHA inspection rows to this carrier in three ways:
• Exact field match — same company-name fields and the same physical street and ZIP as on the public FMCSA record (automated field match; not checked by hand on OSHA’s website).
• Likely match — same company name and an OSHA site in the same area as the FMCSA physical address (same or nearby ZIP). Automatic only; not confirmed.
• HaulQuote-confirmed — on HaulQuote’s confirmed-match list after HaulQuote reviewed the public OSHA and FMCSA records (and HaulQuote operator knowledge where used). This is not an OSHA verification that the records belong together.

What this section is
These are OSHA workplace inspections. They are not FMCSA roadside inspections. HaulQuote does not combine them into one score. A case can change after the file date. No match is not a finding of no OSHA history. A match is not a complete company history. A match does not prove legal identity or ownership.

Short names and addresses
A very short legal name is not matched by name alone. If the physical street and ZIP from the public FMCSA record are available, HaulQuote may search the loaded OSHA file with that address. No worksite row at that address is not a finding that OSHA has no record of this company. If that address is missing, no address search runs. If more than one worksite sits at that exact address, none is attached. Other rows that only share a similar short name at different addresses are not shown and are not counted unless they are a Likely match or on HaulQuote’s confirmed-match list.

Coverage and source
The loaded OSHA file is the DOL OSHA inspection bulk download (file date Nov 6, 2026; 5,209,972 rows). Violation rows are a separate download. This is not a live search of OSHA’s website. Records outside this download were not searched. Source: U.S. DOL OSHA public inspection download. Links: OSHA inspection bulk file, OSHA violation bulk file, DOL OSHA enforcement docs.
