Freight Broker Search
A freight broker search confirms a broker holds active FMCSA operating authority and ties it to the real registered company — the check carriers and factors run before hauling a load on credit or buying a broker's receivables.

What freight-broker authority means
Freight brokers must register with the FMCSA and hold active broker operating authority (an MC number) plus a surety bond. A broker search shows whether that authority is active, pending, or revoked, alongside the linked USDOT record and legal name.
Verify the broker entity and its liens
Authority alone isn't the whole story. VerifySOS matches the broker to its Secretary of State entity and owners and surfaces UCC filings, so you know the company is in good standing and whether its receivables are already pledged before you extend terms.
How to run a freight broker search
Search the broker's name. VerifySOS resolves the MC/USDOT authority, the legal entity and owners, and the lien picture into one verification file.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a freight broker is authorized?
Verify active FMCSA broker authority (MC number) and bond status. VerifySOS surfaces the authority and ties it to the registered entity and owners.
What does revoked broker authority mean?
The broker is no longer authorized to arrange for-hire transportation — a clear signal to stop and verify before hauling or extending terms.
Can I see who owns a freight broker?
Where the state publishes principals, yes — VerifySOS pulls the owners from the broker's Secretary of State filing.
