Carrier & Broker Lookup
Check any trucking company or broker before you book a load. See if they're licensed, insured and safe, and whether the person who contacted you is really them.
Advanced Search : filter by state, carrier or broker, fleet size, new registrations and more
How It Works
1. Type anything
An MC or DOT number, the phone that called you, the email that sent the load, a company name, or just ask: “brokers in Texas”.
2. Read the light
Green: no red flags in the records. Yellow: double-check before you book. Red: the records show a problem.
3. Confirm the contact
Paste the number or email they used. If it isn't the official one, call the number that is before you book.
Free and private
Based on public FMCSA records. No signup, no paywall, and we never tell the company you checked.

The words you'll see in every report, in plain English.
What's an MC number?
The MC number is a company's license to haul or broker freight across state lines. Brokers and carriers put it on rate confirmations.
What's a USDOT number?
The USDOT number is a company's ID with the federal safety agency (FMCSA). Every interstate trucking company has one.
What's operating authority?
Operating authority is the permission to get paid for hauling (carrier) or arranging (broker) freight. Without it active, they shouldn't be doing that job.
What's a broker bond?
Brokers must keep a $75,000 bond or trust on file. It's there so carriers can get paid if the broker doesn't pay.
