Double-broker risk signals

Public-record facts carriers commonly check. Presence of a signal is not evidence of wrongdoing.

Authority age, no such signal in our copy 13,938 days

The earliest financial-security filing on this authority is dated Sep 1, 1988 — 13938 days ago. No separate authority grant date is in our copy of the record.

Checked Oct 25, 2026 · FMCSA authority record

What this does not prove: new authority is normal for legitimate new brokerages. Age alone says nothing about conduct.

Financial security, no such signal in our copy BMC-85 on file

BMC-85 trust fund agreement on file through PURDENTIAL-BACHE SECURITIES INC, no cancellation on record.

Checked May 14, 2026 · FMCSA financial-security filings

What this does not prove: a filing on record is not a payment guarantee, not a live balance, and does not show the remaining amount.

Unpaid freight charges? View this broker's FMCSA financial-security filing.·See all financial-security filings·FMCSA account page ↗

Pending cancellation, no such signal in our copy None found

No financial-security cancellation appears in our copy of the FMCSA record.

Checked May 14, 2026 · FMCSA financial-security filings

What this does not prove: a cancellation can be filed at any time, including after you book. Nothing here is a forecast.

Shared contact, no such signal in our copy None found

The phone number on this authority does not appear on any other FMCSA authority in our copy of the record.

Checked Oct 25, 2026 · FMCSA carrier record

What this does not prove: we compare only the number on the FMCSA record. A number used on paperwork or in email is not covered here.

See shared phone and address records·FMCSA carrier snapshot ↗

Dual authority, signal present Yes

The FMCSA record lists active authority in both broker and carrier roles.

Checked Oct 25, 2026 · FMCSA authority record

What this does not prove: holding both is legal and common. It does not mean freight is re-brokered.

See authority records·FMCSA carrier snapshot ↗

Enforcement, signal present On record — 2026

Operating authority suspension notice served Sep 28, 2026. A prior authority revocation is on record.

Checked Oct 25, 2026 · FMCSA enforcement record

What this does not prove: authority may have been reinstated. A past action does not describe current conduct.

See revocation and suspension orders·FMCSA account page ↗

Amber marks a signal present in the record, green marks no such signal in our copy, and grey marks a plain value or a fact we have not verified recently. The pill repeats the fact on the row — it is not a score.

Entities sharing a phone or address

Other FMCSA authorities listing the same phone number or the same street address. Sharing is common for filing services, agencies and multi-entity groups, and is not evidence of a shell network.

No other authority in our copy of the record lists this phone number or street address.

These are the fields as they appear in our copy of the public FMCSA data, without interpretation. Where a source has not been refreshed recently, the signals above say so.

About this score & limitations It does not say a broker is double brokering. Double brokering is conduct that happens after a load is booked. Nothing in the federal registration record shows it. + 8 more

Every signal here has innocent explanations. New authority means a new business. Shared phone numbers usually mean a filing service. Holding both broker and carrier authority is legal and common.
Absence of signals is not safety. A broker with clean federal records can still fail to pay, or re-broker your load.
Records lag. Federal filings are published on the government’s schedule, not in real time. Each fact on this page shows the date we last read it. If a date looks old, check the FMCSA record yourself before you haul.
We do not verify anything ourselves. We reproduce public records and say where each one came from. Carrier reports are unverified accounts submitted by users and are shown separately.
This is not a consumer report. Do not use it for employment, credit, insurance or tenant decisions.

It summarizes disclosed public filings; it is not a recommendation to enter or avoid a transaction, a guarantee of payment, or proof of fraud. Verify on FMCSA ↗

This result does not prove identity (impersonation exists), a bond is not a payment guarantee, and public data can lag — verify independently before you book.
