Know Who You're
Working With.
Every carrier on DTW can be verified against federal FMCSA records. We make carrier credentials, safety history, and insurance status transparent — so brokers can book with confidence.
How FMCSA Verification Works
Three steps from DOT entry to Verified badge — takes under 2 minutes.
DOT/MC Number Entry
Carriers enter their USDOT or MC number in their profile. The system runs a live lookup against the FMCSA federal database.
Instant FMCSA Check
We verify active operating authority, safety ratings, insurance coverage, and compliance status in real time — no manual review needed.
Verified Badge Issued
Once verified, carriers earn the FMCSA Verified badge on their profile. The badge appears on every load bid, booking, and directory listing.
Our Full Trust & Safety System
FMCSA verification is just the beginning.
FMCSA Verified Badge
Every carrier with a Verified badge has had their DOT/MC number checked against federal records. Active authority, real insurance — confirmed.
Verified Ratings & Reviews
Ratings are tied to completed bookings only — no anonymous reviews. Brokers and contractors can trust every score they see.
Certificate of Insurance Upload
Carriers upload their COI directly to their profile. Expiration dates are tracked and flagged automatically when coverage lapses.
Safety Record Visibility
Carriers can display accidents and violations history from the last 3 years on their public profile — full transparency for brokers.
Risk Indicator System
Our platform assigns risk indicators based on verification status, rating history, and compliance data — helping brokers avoid bad actors.
Phone Verification
All accounts go through phone verification to reduce fraudulent postings and ensure real operators behind every listing.
Fraud Flagging
Our system monitors for patterns associated with freight fraud — duplicate listings, suspicious rate spikes, and unverified claims.
Active Authority Monitoring
Verified carrier status is re-checked periodically. If authority lapses, the verified badge is automatically removed.

FMCSA Verified
What the Verified Badge Means
When you see the FMCSA Verified badge on a carrier profile, it means their DOT or MC number has been checked against the federal FMCSA database and returned with active authority. Their insurance is on file, their operating status is current, and their safety rating is visible.
Verified carriers appear at the top of broker searches and receive significantly more booking requests than unverified profiles.
