about verifreta.

what this is

Verifreta is a carrier desk check for freight brokers. Look up a DOT or MC, read the carrier file, monitor approved carriers for changes, and keep the booking decision. It is not a marketplace and not a load board. You keep your TMS.

Public carrier data comes from official U.S. transportation records — FMCSA census, authority, and insurance filings. We organize that data into a readable report and add desk tools: monitoring alerts, shared-identity cross-referencing, COI parsing, and cited broker guides.

who it is for

Freight brokers and carrier-sales desks that open Licensing & Insurance before they cover a first-time MC. The lookup is for the minute you have a number in the inbox. The guides are for the extra questions: identity, hazmat floors, cargo versus public liability, after-hours booking, double brokering, and chameleon patterns.

It is not a consumer moving site, a carrier recruiting site, or an FMCSA filing portal. If you need to change a BMC filing or process agent, that stays on the government systems.

what we build

• DOT, MC, and name lookup — Look up a USDOT number, MC/MX/FF docket, or legal/DBA name. Read legal name, allowed-to-operate flags, census fleet, dockets, and cargo carried on one page before you send a rate confirmation.
• Change monitoring — Add approved carriers to a watchlist. Get alerts when authority status, insurance filings, or census contact details change so you re-check before the next dispatch.
• Shared-identity cross-referencing — See when multiple DOT records share a telephone, address, or officer name. Useful for spotting dispatch services, shared offices, and chameleon patterns before you cover a first-time MC.
• COI parsing — Upload a certificate of insurance and compare named insured, limits, and policy dates against the carrier on file. A emailed COI is not the FMCSA filing — this check catches mismatches early.
• Team workspace — Shared lookup history, monitored carriers, and alerts for small broker desks. Everyone gets the same first look on a busy morning.
• Broker guides and cargo hubs — Evergreen desk checklists cited to FMCSA and 49 CFR. Commodity hubs for flatbed, reefer, hazmat, drayage, and more — equipment questions on top of the baseline authority check.

what this is not

It is not an FMCSA rating, not cargo insurance, and not a promise that the person on the phone is the legal entity. Confirm authority and BMC filings on Licensing & Insurance. Call the census telephone. Match the rate confirmation name to the record.

Guides cite 49 CFR and FMCSA sources. They are desk checklists, not legal advice. Your contract, your shipper, and your load file still govern the booking decision.
