What CarrierScrub checks, and what it does not
CarrierScrub reads FMCSA's operating-authority, out-of-service and insurance records and returns a dated GO, CAUTION or STOP by fixed, published rules, including a check for new authority registered at a revoked carrier's phone number under a different name, and the missing cargo insurance or bond filings and returned mail that FMCSA's current Motus record flags. It adds FMCSA's safety rating, roadside out-of-service history and crash history from the SMS snapshot, each dated to it. BASIC percentiles do not appear: FMCSA does not publish them for property carriers. See the verdict rules.
It does not collect certificates of insurance, W-9s or signed agreements, verify identity documents, carry reports filed by other brokers, show BASIC percentiles or safety history older than 24 months, or track loads. Every tool below does at least one of those things. CarrierScrub’s price is per lookup: 25 a month free on Pay-as-you-go, then $1.00 each, or no monthly cap on Small Brokerage at $79 a month.
