Vet any broker or carrier in 5 minutes

  1. Get the USDOT and MC number in writing. FMCSA says to avoid companies that won’t show them.
  2. Look it up on SAFER. USDOT status should be ACTIVE, with no out-of-service date. Name, address and phone should match who you’re talking to; scammers borrow real numbers.
  3. Broker or carrier? A broker arranges the move and hands it to a carrier. Brokers need broker authority and a $75,000 bond or trust (BMC-84/85). Ask who the actual carrier is, then check that one too.
  4. Check insurance on FMCSA L&I and ask for the cargo insurance certificate. Federal records don’t show cargo coverage for car haulers, and certificates can be faked, so confirm with the insurer.
  5. Read the safety record. On SAFER, compare vehicle and driver out-of-service rates with the national averages, and look at 24-month crashes.
  6. Money red flags: big deposits before a carrier is assigned, wire, cash, gift cards or payment apps, a quote far below the others, or a price that goes up once your car is on the truck.
  7. Paperwork: get the enclosed-vs-open promise in writing. Inspect and photograph the car on the Bill of Lading at pickup and delivery, and note damage before you sign.
  8. Problems? File with FMCSA’s National Consumer Complaint Database (1-888-368-7238) and the FTC.
