Can You Carfax a Semi Truck?

Semi trucks are very different from passenger vehicles, and the process of researching their history and ownership is also very different. The popular car history website Carfax can be used to research the histories of passenger cars, but can it be used to research semi trucks?

The short answer is no, you cannot use Carfax to research a semi truck’s history.

Carfax is a business that specializes in researching and reporting on the history of passenger vehicles. It does not maintain records or report on the histories of semi trucks or other commercial vehicles. While they have some information regarding commercial vehicle inspections and other services available, they do not provide comprehensive records for semi truck owners.

If you are researching the history of a semi truck then there are other websites that specialize in this area. Some websites such as Commercial Truck Trader offer similar services to Carfax for commercial vehicles, allowing users to search for specific makes, models, and years of semi trucks. These websites focus specifically on providing information about commercial vehicles rather than passenger cars.

In addition to these websites there are also government agencies that provide records related to semi truck histories. The Department of Transportation maintains records related to vehicle registrations as well as any reports or incidents related to a particular vehicle. Additionally, state agencies may have additional records related to ownership and maintenance that can be accessed by contacting them directly.

Conclusion:

Can you carfax a semi truck? No, Carfax does not provide comprehensive records for semi truck owners; however, there are other websites and government agencies which specialize in providing information about commercial vehicles such as semi trucks.
