How to check a freight broker before you haul for them
- Active broker authority. The broker's MC number must show active broker authority with FMCSA. A carrier MC number is not broker authority.
- $75,000 bond or trust on file. Every broker must keep a BMC-84 surety bond or BMC-85 trust fund. It is what a carrier can claim against if the broker doesn't pay.
- No revocation pending. FMCSA starts revoking authority when the bond is cancelled. A broker with revocation pending may not be around to pay in 30 days.
- Time in business. Double-brokering and payment fraud cluster in brand-new authorities. Check the registration year and ask for references when it is recent.
- Contact details match FMCSA. Call back on the phone number in the FMCSA record, not the one in the email. Impersonating a real broker's MC number is the most common fraud.

Questions
- How many freight brokers are there in Reading, PA?
- 12 companies based in Reading, PA hold active freight broker authority with FMCSA, counted from the FMCSA Licensing and Insurance file. 3 of them also operate their own trucks.
- What is the difference between a freight broker and a logistics company?
- A freight broker arranges truck transportation for shippers using other companies' trucks, and must hold FMCSA broker authority and a $75,000 bond. "Logistics company" is a broader term that can include brokers, 3PLs, warehouses and carriers. Any company that arranges truckload freight in the U.S. for compensation needs broker authority, so the brokers listed here are the licensed logistics companies for truck freight.
- What does revocation pending mean?
- FMCSA has started revoking the broker's authority, usually because its BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust was cancelled. Until the bond is replaced, the authority will lapse. Carriers should get paid upfront or avoid the load.
- How do I check a freight broker's MC number?
- Search the broker's USDOT number on MyDotCheck, or open the broker from the list on this page. Confirm the authority is active, the bond is on file, and the name and phone number match what the broker gave you.
