HIGH RISK — do not proceed without direct FMCSA verification
Always call back on the FMCSA-registered number (410-861-0003) — not the number that contacted you. Scammers impersonate legitimate carriers and brokers.

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.

Get Notified If Anything Changes — Free

We'll email you if this carrier changes status

We check FMCSA weekly and alert you if authority status or official safety rating changes — revocations, suspensions, or rating updates.

FMCSA only updates the official safety rating after a formal audit — most carriers never get one. New inspections and crashes won't trigger this alert. For real-time protection against scams and liability — proof that the driver picking up your freight is actually who the records say — that's what our paid MVR + selfie ID verification does.
