Understanding carrier profile information

Responses are always grouped by USDOT, and within each USDOT you may find:

• FMCSA Detail – always present.
• Equipment Pairings – may be empty depending on the available information.
• USDOT Sightings – may be empty depending on the filters applied.

This means that while FMCSA Detail is guaranteed for every USDOT, the Pairing Data and Sightings sections may not return results if they do not match the requested filters.
