Questions this page answers

Is an FMC OTI license the same as an FMCSA MC number?

No. FMC covers ocean OTIs/NVOCCs; FMCSA covers interstate motor property brokers and carriers. Confirm the correct register for the product.

Does a BrokerMafia NVOCC row mean FMC licensing?

No. Indexed ≠ licensed. Re-check the FMC OTI search for the legal name.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
