You see the carrier's record before he sees your car

Every broker hires trucks from the same load board. The difference is who we let haul your car, and how closely we keep watching them after they're approved.

The short answer: Before a carrier hauls a Mr. Car Shipper car, we check their FMCSA authority and safety record, verify their insurance directly with the insurer, and review crash history. Then we keep monitoring them every day. You get the carrier's name and USDOT number before pickup.

What we check

CheckWhat it meansWhy it matters
FMCSA authorityThe carrier is legally allowed to haul cars across state linesUnauthorized carriers are where the horror stories start
Insurance, verified with the insurerWe confirm coverage with the insurance company, double-blind, not a PDF the driver emailedCertificates get faked and policies lapse
Crash and safety historyInspection results and crash recordsPast behavior predicts the next trip
Fleet checksDoes the equipment match what they claim to run?Fleet discrepancies are a fraud signal
Daily monitoringWe keep watching authority, insurance and safety after approvalA clean carrier last month isn't a guarantee this month

Why "vetted once" isn't vetted

A carrier that passed a check once isn't guaranteed clean today. Insurance gets cancelled. Authority gets revoked. A truck gets sold to someone else.

So we don't just check at sign-up. We use the Highway carrier-vetting platform to monitor our carriers continuously: FMCSA changes, insurance status, crash data and more.

What you get

Before pickup, you get the carrier's identity: company name and USDOT number. Look them up yourself if you want. We'd encourage it.

Questions about who hauls your car

How do you choose the carrier for my car?

We assign carriers we check: FMCSA authority and safety record, insurance verified directly with the insurance company, crash history, and fleet checks. And we keep monitoring them every day after they're approved.

Will I know who the carrier is before pickup?

Yes. Before pickup we tell you the carrier's name and USDOT number. You see who it is before he sees your car.

Why isn't a one-time check enough?

Because carriers change. Insurance lapses. Authority gets revoked. Trucks get sold. A carrier that looked clean the day it signed up can be a different company six months later. That's why we keep watching after the first load.

Can I check a carrier myself?

Yes. Look up their USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER website for authority and safety data, and call the insurance company listed, not the number on the certificate the driver sends. Our free video shows how.
