What is a freight broker directory?

A freight broker directory is a searchable index of the brokers and freight forwarders licensed by the FMCSA. A brokerage cannot arrange freight legally without active broker authority and a surety bond on file, and both are public record along with the docket number behind them.

CarrierOk makes that record searchable rather than one docket at a time. Filter by authority status, bond, region, and how recently the authority was granted to build a freight broker list, and keep it in the app so revocations and new grants land in it instead of aging in a spreadsheet.

Find the brokerages worth your time, and skip the rest.

Broker authority is its own filter, separate from carrier authority, so a brokerage that also runs trucks does not slip through as a carrier.

Authority

  • Entity type
  • Broker authority
  • Authority status
  • Authority age
  • Bond on file
  • MC / docket #

Where they are

  • State
  • Operating in
  • Physical address
  • Mailing address

When they appeared

  • Authority granted
  • Added to directory
  • Out-of-service date

Check the authority and the bond before you call.

Each brokerage carries its legal name and DBA, both numbers, authority type and history, bond status, and the contact details FMCSA holds.

  • Legal name
  • DBA
  • USDOT #

Contact
  • Primary contact
  • Phone
  • Cell
  • Email
  • Website
  • Physical address
  • Mailing address
Authority
  • Status

  • Common
  • Contract
  • Broker
  • Out-of-service date
Insurance
  • Insurance carrier

  • Cargo
  • Bond
  • Coverage amounts
  • Cancellation date

Coverage follows what each carrier filed with the FMCSA, so some records are missing a field. Derived intelligence, including BASIC percentiles, ISS, risk signals, and VIN-decoded equipment, is part of the platform and the API.

Keep the broker list working after you export it.

Authorities are granted and revoked constantly. Rather than re-buying a list, keep yours in the app where the record moves and your notes stay attached.

Lists, tags, and a stage per list

Group them your way, label them in your own words, and track where each one sits in your process.

Notes and an activity timeline

Every note, call, and export is recorded against the record, so the next person to open it sees what already happened.

Saved views that count what changed

Save a search and the app tells you how many new matches have appeared since you last looked.

Bring the book you already have

Import a CSV of DOT, MC, or EIN numbers and the app matches them to the record, handing back anything it could not match.

Both sides of the tender use this list.

Brokers are a market to sell into and a counterparty to check, and the same record answers both.

Selling into brokerages

Factoring, insurance, and freight tech teams building outbound into licensed brokerages.

Carriers choosing brokers

Confirm the authority is active and the bond is on file before hauling for someone new.

Watching for churn

Revoked and reinstated authorities stay in the record, so re-entries are visible rather than invisible.

Broker Directory FAQ

CarrierOk is a carrier intelligence platform whose directory indexes every FMCSA registrant. It consolidates the FMCSA record on any motor carrier or broker and adds the scoring FMCSA does not publish: all 7 BASIC percentiles, a computed ISS score, 50+ named risk signals, and policy-level insurance history, with monitoring that reports changes the same day. The same record is delivered however you consume it: the directory and the web app, a REST API, a Chrome extension, or bulk files.
26,288 entities hold active broker operating authority, and the directory also carries inactive and revoked broker authorities so churn and re-entries stay visible. Measured September 10, 2026.
CarrierOk watches FMCSA licensing systems and re-ingests as they publish, so authority grants, revocations, and contact changes show up the same day. That is the difference between a live directory and a one-time CSV.
Filter by broker authority, bond on file, and region, then export. Because the underlying licensing record publishes continuously, a freight broker list built in the directory can be pulled again whenever you need it rather than bought once and left to age.
Legal name and DBA, DOT and MC numbers, broker or forwarder authority type and status, authority history, bond information, phone, email, and physical address, plus registration dates so newly authorized brokerages can be targeted separately.
Yes. Filter by state and operating region, active against revoked authority, broker against forwarder authority type, and how recently the authority was granted. Save that as a view and it tells you what is new each time you return.
Yes. Filtered lists export as structured CSV with consistent columns, and the export carries your own context too: which of your lists each brokerage is on, your tags, its stage, and when you last touched it.
Carriers sourcing brokers to haul for, sales teams at factoring, insurance, and logistics technology companies selling into brokerages, and 3PLs verifying authority and bond status before partnering.
