Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A searchable directory of U.S. freight brokers that tracks authority status, recorded changes, and filing evidence using FMCSA data.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.

For: Carriers, shippers, dispatchers, and freight researchers
Worth noticing: All 26,702 records are searchable, but only 1,693 have indexable profiles; the site offers a free download of the full dataset.

Field notes

The dataset combines FMCSA Motus records with a legacy Licensing & Insurance file when a broker has no Motus record. The homepage separates the 26,702 searchable records from the 1,693 profiles available as indexable pages, and says profile selection balances geographic coverage with a page cap. Its bond-flag finding is explicitly limited: the site says the flags do not establish current unlawful operation or a coverage gap.
