    So I have been told by several drivers with my company that have been here a while that my current tractor had been rolled a few years back and repaired, which is whatever it drives fine and does its job. But a couple weeks ago it was mentioned that my truck may have been involved in a fatal rollover.. So it got me thinking if there's a way to pull the VIN and search it like you would for carfax to see what kind of accidents it may have been involved in

    rigdig might be okay. But carfax works for trucks too. It's database of accidents has truck VIN's just like cars.

    I don't know if I'm so desperate for an answer to pay that much :biggrin_2559:

    If it happened in the last three years and there was a violation issued to the driver for the accident then you could play around on the FMCSA / Safer site and possibly pull it up - I am not positive on this but just trying to think outside the box and a free way to possibly dig up what you are looking for??
