One Thing FMCSA Can't Tell You

FMCSA confirms this carrier's authority exists. It can't confirm the person dispatching is who records say — that's how double brokering and cargo theft happen.

  • The Supreme Court's vicarious liability ruling means one unvetted carrier can expose you to a nuclear verdict.
  • Double brokering is at record highs. Scammers clone legitimate authority and re-broker your load.
  • Purple Squirrel closes the gap: MVR pulls + selfie ID checks prove the driver is who records say.
