FMCSA — Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Parent: U.S. Department of Transportation. Domains in this note: fmcsa.dot.gov, safer.fmcsa.dot.gov, dot.gov.

What they regulate

Interstate motor carriers, property (freight) brokers, and freight forwarders. Public safety and operating-authority data appear on SAFER. A BrokerMafia FMCSA hub or trucking listing is an index of public extracts, not the issuing system.

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

How to verify

  1. SAFER company snapshot — Match legal name, MC number, and USDOT number on the live SAFER record.
  2. FMCSA registration / licensing — Property brokers, freight forwarders, and motor carriers register here — not on BrokerMafia.

Questions this page answers

Is FMCSA the same as a BrokerMafia listing?

No. FMCSA/SAFER is the federal register path. BrokerMafia indexes public extracts. Confirm MC/USDOT on safer.fmcsa.dot.gov.

Does an MC number on a website prove authority?

No. Re-check the legal name and authority status on SAFER. Numbers get copied; status changes.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

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