python-safer's Issues

ValueError: time data does not match format '%m/%d/%Y'

Calling get_by_usdot_number with 3279824 throws a value error. For some reason it's pulling the Inspections/Crashes In US table instead of the Safety Rating table. It seems to only happen for random DOTs and I'm not sure where the mismatch is in the UI for this to happen.

Question about data results

It seems that as soon as a number is entered into the system you can use the portal and search it. It will only return the company name. But it seems about after 24 hours when searching https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx it will then contain all the info about the USDOT number. Is there a way to get this data immediately without having to wait 24 hours?

Issue importing safer (macosx)

Big fan of this as their APIs are not documented so great work. However:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'safer' ```

On Python 3.7.4. MacOSX. Installed using `pip install python-safer` is instructed. 

when I run a `pip list | grep safer` it only shows python-safer. 

Now, when I try to run with ```import python-safer``` etc I get this: 

File "main.py", line 1
 from python-safer import CompanySnapshot
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

IndexError

result error: IndexError: No value at index 0.
for value "python"
