Catch the red flags before you tender
Double-brokering risk
Recently reactivated authority, contact info that doesn't match FMCSA records, suspicious phone and email patterns. The bot tells you to verify through the registered contact, never the one on the rate con.
Cargo-theft signals
Phantom-carrier patterns, burner and VOIP numbers, moderated community incident reports.
Insurance gaps
Live coverage on file and filed cancellations, not just "insurance: yes".
Authority problems
Inactive, revoked, pending, or freshly reinstated MC authority.
Safety history
Inspections, crashes, out-of-service rates and operating history.
Fair community reports
Incident reports are human-moderated, expire after 180 days, and every carrier gets a right to respond. Substance, not anonymous mudslinging.

Questions brokers ask
How do I check if an MC number is legit?
Send the MC or USDOT number to the bot. It pulls FMCSA records and returns an instant verdict: authority, insurance, safety, and fraud signals like VOIP or burner phones and recently reactivated authority.
How do I check a carrier for double brokering?
The strongest signals are a freshly reactivated or brand-new MC, contact details that don't match FMCSA records, and burner phones. The bot flags all of these and tells you to call back on the FMCSA-registered number, never the one on the rate con.
Where does the data come from?
Public FMCSA records (authority, SAFER safety data, insurance filings), phone and email risk intelligence, and moderated community incident reports. It's an informational tool, not legal or compliance advice. Always confirm before booking.
Why not just use free SAFER?
SAFER shows raw data. It won't flag a burner phone, a phantom carrier, a 3-day-old reactivated MC, or a filed insurance cancellation. We turn the data into one clear go or no-go verdict in seconds.
Is this a Carrier411 alternative?
Yes. Faster, Telegram-native, fraud-first, no subscription to start. And unlike FreightGuard reports, our incident reports are moderated, expire after 180 days, and carriers get a right to respond.
How fresh is the data?
Every report pulls live FMCSA and insurance data at the moment you ask. Watchlist alerts re-check your saved carriers automatically.
Can my whole dispatch team use it?
Yes. Use the bot inline in any group chat, or email us to join the Teams & API waitlist for shared seats.
How do I pay?
Card (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay) secured by Stripe, Telegram Stars, or crypto (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, TON). The first 3 checks are free with no card.
What if a check fails?
A failed lookup never costs you a credit. It's refunded automatically.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, see our refund policy. Unused passes within 14 days are refundable.
