How this service works
Use this to check a freight broker before you accept a load or extend credit: whether it holds active broker authority, its broker dockets and how current each status is, its bond (BMC-84/85) continuity and lapses, its authority history (grants, revocations, suspensions, reinstatements) and the identity linkage screen. Give an MC number or a USDOT number. A record, not a recommendation. Billed whenever the broker resolves, including when it holds no broker authority.
Output
Returns a structured record containing: active/inactive broker authority status, all broker docket numbers and their current statuses, bond (BMC-84/BMC-85) details including any lapses or gaps, a chronological authority history (grants, revocations, suspensions, reinstatements), and identity linkage screening results. This is a factual record, not a recommendation. Billed even when the broker holds no broker authority.
Example use cases
Pre-load broker authority screening
“I just got a load offer from a broker with MC number 291045 — can you pull their FMCSA broker authority status and tell me if their bond is current and whether they've ever had authority revoked?”
Credit extension due diligence
“Before we extend net-30 terms to a new broker, can you check USDOT number 3847291 to see if they hold active broker authority and flag any bond lapses or suspensions in their history?”
Broker onboarding compliance check
“We're onboarding a new freight broker with MC-654321 — please verify their broker authority is active, confirm their BMC-84 bond is continuous, and pull their full authority history so we have a record.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://fmcsa-mcp-843680657471.us-central1.run.app/x402/check_broker_authority?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to specifically verify freight broker authority status, bond continuity, or authority history from FMCSA records. Prefer this over general carrier lookup (lookup_carrier) when the entity in question is a broker rather than a carrier, or when bond and authority history details are required. Use when you have either an MC number or a USDOT number for the broker.
Side effects
- MC number not found — broker does not exist in FMCSA database
- Invalid MC or USDOT number format — returns error
- Both mc_number and usdot_number provided — only one should be given
- Broker resolves but holds no broker authority — still billed, returns record showing no authority
- FMCSA data source temporarily unavailable — service may return an error or stale data
