Verify before you book
You do not have to take any company's word for it. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration keeps free public records on every licensed brokerage and carrier in the country. Here is exactly what to ask for and where to verify it:
Every legitimate brokerage and carrier must provide both on request. Our numbers: USDOT #2273104 and MC #774106. If a company hesitates or deflects, stop.
Go to safer.fmcsa.dot.gov and use the Company Snapshot search. Enter the MC or USDOT number and confirm the legal name, operating status and “Authorized” brokerage or carrier authority match what you were told.
In the FMCSA Licensing & Insurance portal (li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov), verify the brokerage's BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust fund is active. No active bond means no legal authority to brokerage your shipment.
If a company says they have a carrier for you but never sends you the carrier's name, DOT/MC number, driver contact and truck details, or you never get to see how much of your payment is going to the carrier, that is a red flag. A legitimate brokerage discloses the assigned carrier and explains the brokerage fee before you book.

Enterprise Auto Transport, a federally registered auto transport brokerage based in Naples, Florida, has filed a formal petition for rulemaking with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), seeking stronger federal oversight of individuals who solicit, negotiate, and arrange interstate vehicle transportation on behalf of licensed brokerages.
The petition, dated October 11, 2026, was filed under FMCSA-2021-0054, the federal docket for general petitions for rulemaking, pursuant to 49 CFR § 389.31.
The proposal calls for mandatory individual registration of covered brokerage sales agents, government-issued identity verification through Motus or an equivalent system, verified affiliations with licensed brokerages, training, and accountability for misrepresentation.
Federally registered transportation brokerages are subject to operating authority and financial responsibility requirements, including generally maintaining $75,000 in approved financial security.
However, verifying a brokerage's MC number does not independently establish that an individual salesperson is authorized to represent that brokerage.
A consumer may speak to someone advertising vehicle transportation, negotiating prices, collecting deposits, or claiming to represent a federally registered company without having an easy federal method to verify that individual's authorization.
Enterprise Auto Transport believes this gap warrants federal examination.
The petition requests consideration of nine major regulatory reforms:
Importantly, the proposal does not automatically require every legitimate sales agent to obtain a separate $75,000 brokerage bond. Instead, it proposes a distinct individual registration framework for people operating under an authorized brokerage.
The petition includes two examples explaining why Enterprise Auto Transport believes stronger identity verification is necessary.
An unauthorized claim of brokerage affiliation
The petition describes an unrelated individual who purchased the domain enterpriseautotransport.org, which resembles the company's established enterpriseautotransport.com website.
According to the petition, the individual was not authorized to represent Enterprise Auto Transport, and the petitioner became aware of allegations that the individual claimed to be associated with the company when contacted.
The petition does not allege that purchasing the similar domain itself was unlawful or that the website was currently advertising transportation services.
A customer-reported incident involving Montway Auto Transport
The petition also describes an incident reported by an Enterprise Auto Transport customer who said she reached Montway Auto Transport through a Google advertisement while attempting to contact Enterprise.
According to the customer's account, a representative allegedly claimed that Enterprise Auto Transport's owner worked at Montway and was temporarily unavailable.
Enterprise Auto Transport states that no such employment or authorization existed.
The petition expressly identifies this as a customer-reported allegation, not an adjudicated finding against Montway or any individual. The customer reportedly ended the call without booking or paying.
These examples illustrate the importance of verifying the person representing a brokerage before a consumer signs a contract or provides payment information.
The petition also asks FMCSA to investigate online and overseas solicitation involving individuals advertising vehicle transportation to American consumers through social media, including Facebook Marketplace and Facebook groups.
The concern is that certain arrangements may obscure which person obtained the customer's order, which federally registered brokerage authorized the transaction, and who is responsible for the shipment.
The petition expressly acknowledges that operating overseas is not inherently unlawful and that legitimate agency relationships may exist.
It requests regulatory examination of these practices rather than assuming every overseas arrangement is improper.
The petition asks FMCSA to evaluate whether a verified U.S. domicile requirement would improve investigative access, service of process, and regulatory accountability.
It also recognizes the legal and economic questions such a requirement would raise.
If a U.S. domicile requirement is unavailable or unjustified, the petition proposes examining alternatives, including verified identities, domestic service-of-process arrangements, accessible records, and accountability through supervising brokerages.
The petition does not request a U.S. citizenship requirement.
Auto transport sales agents may access customers' home addresses, telephone numbers, vehicle identification numbers, shipment schedules, and payment information.
The petition asks FMCSA to evaluate safeguards including individual credentials, limited information access, secure handling, audit records, and removal of access when an agent's brokerage affiliation ends.
Enterprise Auto Transport is also preparing a separate petition focused more broadly on business data privacy and the protection of customer information within the transportation industry.
Consumers should be able to answer three basic questions before booking a vehicle shipment:
A federal verification framework could make those questions easier to answer and give legitimate transportation businesses additional tools to identify potential impersonation.
Petitioner: Enterprise Auto Transport USDOT: 2273104 MC Number: 774106 Petition date: October 11, 2026 Federal docket: FMCSA-2021-0054 Document ID: FMCSA-2021-0054-0196 Regulatory references: 49 CFR § 389.31 and 49 CFR Part 371
The petition requests federal rulemaking; it does not establish new legal requirements by itself. Any agency action would require further consideration under applicable law.
