My CDL instructor showed us this website. It contains information that recruiters wont share. Such as Power units to driver ratio, FMCSA score in area's such as, Unsafe driving, HOS compliance, driver fitness, Controlled substance and alcohol, vehicle maintenance, and hazardous material compliance. You can click on those areas and it shows you what the violation was, which state, points, severity, and much more info. Including what their percentage is and if they are under "Intervention".
So take some time and check it out. Web link is below.
