Freight Fraud Signal Checker
A freight email, rate confirmation or carrier in; fraud signals scored.
Fictional sample: names, phones, domains and the FMCSA row are made up.
Text stays in this tab. Only a USDOT or MC number goes to FMCSA's public data.

How the checks work
Scoring and data
Headers, links, domains, USDOT and MC numbers and phones are pulled from the paste. 60 or more, or two high signals, is high; 25 or more is medium.
Carrier checks read FMCSA's Company Census File and the Motus authority datasets.
Freight fraud FAQ
Is the email I paste uploaded?
No. Scoring runs on this page. Only a USDOT or MC number, when present, is sent to FMCSA's public data.
Which FMCSA data does the carrier check use?
The Company Census File (az4n-8mr2), Motus Carrier (inys-ebih) for authority status and Motus AuthHist (yu5v-wbh6) for the grant date. If a request fails, SAFER links are shown.
What is the 2025 cargo theft pattern with RMM tools?
Proofpoint reported on 3 November 2025 that criminals used hijacked load board accounts and broker threads to send carriers RMM installers, such as ScreenConnect and SimpleHelp, then booked loads as the victim and stole the cargo.
Why does a passing DMARC result not make a message safe?
A taken-over mailbox sends mail that passes SPF, DKIM and DMARC. So the page also scores links, file types and payment changes on authentic mail.
What should I do before paying a changed bank account?
Hold the payment, call the vendor on the number you already have on file, and require a second approver for bank changes.
FMCSA field names follow the MCMIS Company Census data dictionary (Rev 8, January 2026) and the Motus operating authority datasets as of October 2026. Protected domains were checked against FMCSA census email records or the company's own site on 20 October 2026. Samples are fictional.
