Probable outage

Our probe couldn't reach the server, but we're not seeing broad user reports yet.

What this means
FMCSA looks down. Our check couldn't reach it, and this usually affects everyone — so it's not just you. There's nothing to fix on your end; waiting for it to come back is the only real fix.
