ENTERPRISES, INC (MC-263731), effective Apr 8, 1993. FMCSA records show a cancellation or replacement effective date of not shown in our copy. These filing dates do not determine which provider is responsible for a particular transportation arrangement, whether a claim is valid, or whether funds remain available. Confirm the applicable filing and submission channel directly with the provider before sending documents.

This process is generally intended for the motor carrier or shipper owed freight charges—not for an employee driver seeking unpaid wages.

This includes owner-operators running under their own MC authority.

Double-broker risk signals

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

Authority age, not verified recently Not verified

Not verified in the last 8 days — check the FMCSA record.

Checked May 14, 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 FIRST COLONIAL BANK OF ELK GROVE, 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.

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

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

Dual authority, no such signal in our copy No

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

Enforcement, signal present On record — 2013

A prior authority revocation is on record (2013).

Checked Sep 13, 2026 · FMCSA enforcement record

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.
