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 1,157 days

Broker authority granted Aug 30, 2023 — 1157 days ago.

Checked Oct 29, 2026 · FMCSA authority record

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

See authority records·View history·FMCSA carrier snapshot ↗

Financial security, no such signal in our copy BMC-84 on file

BMC-84 surety bond on file through Amherst National Insurance Company, no cancellation on record.

Checked Oct 30, 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 Oct 30, 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.

See all financial-security filings·FMCSA account page ↗

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, no such signal in our copy No

The FMCSA record does not list active carrier authority for this entity.

Checked Oct 25, 2026 · FMCSA authority record

What this does not prove: an entity without carrier authority can still pass your load to someone else. Confirm which company signs the rate confirmation.

See authority records·FMCSA carrier snapshot ↗

Enforcement, no such signal in our copy None found

No authority revocation and no suspension notice appear in our copy of the FMCSA record.

Checked Oct 25, 2026 · FMCSA enforcement record

What this does not prove: we hold revocation and suspension filings only. A clean enforcement record is not a statement about how this broker deals with carriers.

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.

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.
