Know who booked your load.
Enter the MC number off the load board. We check FMCSA authority, the company name on file, the bond, and the federal suspension list. Free, no account.
Why this exists
Somebody books a load using a stolen or dormant MC authority. You haul it, you deliver it, you invoice — and the outfit that booked you was never really them. You have no contract with the actual broker, so you’re left filing against a bond that every other victim is also filing against.
FMCSA took more than 8,000 fraud complaints in 2025, roughly four times the 2021 number. Industry estimates put the cost to carriers somewhere between $700 million and a billion a year.
The check that catches it takes five or ten minutes: pull the MC on FMCSA, confirm the authority is active, confirm the bond, call the broker back on their public number, confirm the name matches who’s booking you. Almost nobody does it, because the load is gone by the time you’re done and you’re in a truck, not at a desk.
This does the lookup part in about a second.
Why FMCSA alone isn’t enough
FMCSA’s authority record does not immediately reflect a suspension. We have seen brokers whose authority was suspended weeks earlier still showing as active and bonded in the record most lookup tools read from.
So we check two places: the live authority record, and the federal suspension list, refreshed daily. If they disagree, you get told.
What this can’t do
It cannot tell you the person who called you actually works there. That check is yours, and it’s the one that catches impersonation — which is why every result ends with the registered company name and asks whether it matches who’s booking you. If it doesn’t match, that’s your answer.
It’s a screening tool, not legal or financial advice, and not a substitute for calling the broker at a number you looked up yourself.
Who made this and why
One person, not a company. It’s free, there’s no account, no signup, no ads, and nothing is for sale. Your phone number is never asked for and nothing stored identifies you — details here.
I’m trying to find out whether this is genuinely useful to owner-operators or whether it just sounds useful. That’s the whole goal right now. If you try it, I want to hear what you think — especially if it’s useless, or if your load board already tells you this. That’s more valuable to me than people being polite about it.
Data comes from FMCSA public records. Early test, expect rough edges.
