Trust ID official-record sections may use the FMCSA Company Census File, SAFER Company Snapshot, Licensing and Insurance records, and other named FMCSA public datasets. Each system covers different fields and refreshes on a different schedule.
Read the source label
The source label identifies where the displayed fact came from. A stored copy lets Hotshot College search quickly and preserve a dated history, but the source system remains the place to confirm a current government fact.
What is not FMCSA data
HSC accreditation, TrustScore, claim status, user reviews, complaints, responses, and mediation outcomes are Hotshot College or user-generated records. They must never be described as FMCSA findings.
