Is this broker legitimate?
Before hauling a load, confirm the entity offering it holds active FMCSA broker authority and carries the required surety bond. A revoked authority or a missing bond is the single most common sign of broker fraud and double-brokering. These are factual FMCSA records — DOTScreener does not rate or score brokers.
