A free checker lets carriers look up a freight broker’s MC or USDOT number and compare rate-con details with public FMCSA records.

For
Carriers checking a broker before hauling a load
Worth noticing
The form can compare the rate con’s company, phone, and email details with FMCSA records; the planned watchlist is not built yet.

Field notes

The form accepts an MC or USDOT number and can also take company, phone, and email details from a rate confirmation. The page describes checks of authority, bond or trust fund status, and identity information against public FMCSA datasets; it also notes that a carrier number offering a load can indicate double brokering. The operator says the checker asks for no information about the user. A nightly alert watchlist is described as a future feature, not a working one.
