FHWA — Federal Highway Administration

Parent: U.S. Department of Transportation. Domains in this note: fhwa.dot.gov.

What they regulate

FHWA administers federal highway programs and related infrastructure policy under DOT. It does not issue FMCSA MC or property-broker authority. Oversize/overweight permitting often involves states; confirm carrier/broker authority on FMCSA and state permit paths.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. FHWA home — Federal-aid highways and highway programs — not an FMCSA broker license register.
  2. FHWA programs — Infrastructure and highway policy context for trucking corridors; authority still on FMCSA.

Questions this page answers

Does FHWA issue MC numbers?

No. FMCSA issues motor carrier and property-broker operating authority. FHWA is the federal highway programs agency.

Where do I verify a freight broker?

Start with FMCSA tools (including SAFER/Company Snapshot paths) and insurance filings — not FHWA.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?
