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.
