Our broker network
Six checks before we book you.
Active broker authority
The broker's MC number has active broker authority on FMCSA's records. A carrier authority alone is not a license to broker freight.$75,000 bond or trust on file
Federal rules require every broker to keep at least $75,000 in financial security with FMCSA, through a BMC-84 surety bond or a BMC-85 trust. It gives carriers something to claim against if a broker doesn't pay.Credit and days-to-pay
We check the broker's credit and average days-to-pay through your factoring company or a credit service. Slow payers get flagged before you're booked.The right contact
The phone number and email domain match the broker's official listing, not just what's in the email signature.A clean rate confirmation
The rate con matches what was agreed: rate, stops, appointment times, detention terms, and the company name and MC on the paper.Their track record with us
Brokers who pay on time, treat drivers well and keep their word get repeat business. Brokers who don't stop getting our trucks.
Freight fraud red flags.
- 01
A rate far above the market, with pressure to decide now
Scammers use urgency and a too-good rate so you skip the checks.
- 02
The email comes from a free account
A real broker's dispatch usually emails from the company domain, not a Gmail or Outlook address with a broker's name in it.
- 03
Contact details that don't match the official listing
Call the number on FMCSA's records or the broker's own website, not the one in the email.
- 04
A new or recently changed MC number
Brand-new authorities, or recently changed phone, email and address on file, deserve a second look.
- 05
A rate con from a different company than the one you spoke with
The name and MC on the paperwork must match the company you booked with.
- 06
Last-minute changes to pickup or delivery
A text asking you to deliver somewhere else, or to switch the pickup number, is a classic theft setup. Confirm with the broker and the shipper.
- 07
Any request for you to pay first
Legitimate brokers don't charge carriers to get a load, and don't ask you to send money for "fees" or "insurance."
- 08
"Don't call the shipper"
There's no good reason to keep a carrier away from the shipper's dispatch office.
Spot something off? Stop and call your dispatcher before you load. You can report fraud to FMCSA through its National Consumer Complaint Database.
How brokers
choose carriers.
Good brokers check you, too. Carriers who pass easily get the better freight and the repeat lanes.
- A complete carrier packet. Authority, insurance certificate, W-9 and payment details, with no gaps.
- Insurance that meets their limits. Often $1,000,000 auto liability and $100,000 cargo, sometimes more.
- A clean safety record. Inspections, out-of-service rates and crash history are all public.
- Authority age. Some brokers won't load authorities younger than a set number of months.
- Communication and tracking. On-time pickups, answered phones and tracking updates make a carrier a broker's first call.
We handle the setup paperwork and the communication, so brokers see a professional operation from the first load.
Terms, quick pay and factoring.
The broker pays the full rate on their normal schedule. No fee, but you carry the wait.
Many brokers will pay faster for a percentage of the load. Good for an occasional cash need.
A factoring company advances the invoice and collects from the broker. Steady cash flow on every load, for a fee.
Haul for brokers who pay.
Let us handle broker vetting, setup and paperwork while you drive.
