Credentials
Every service on this site is provided by a federally registered company. Review both authority records below, then verify them directly in FMCSA SAFER before tendering freight.
Two registrations, both verifiable
Freight Line Group is a brand name, not an operating entity. The two companies below hold the federal registrations, and each one links straight to its FMCSA SAFER company snapshot so you can check the record yourself.

Broker authority vs carrier authority
Property broker authority
A property broker holds federal authority to arrange transportation of freight on behalf of shippers. A broker matches loads with authorized carriers, issues rate confirmations, and manages the transaction. A broker never needs to own a single truck to do this work, and broker authority by itself does not permit hauling freight.
Motor carrier authority
A motor carrier holds federal authority to physically transport freight with its own equipment and its own drivers. The carrier is the company whose truck shows up at the dock, and its authority carries safety, driver, and insurance obligations that a brokerage registration does not.
These are separate FMCSA registrations with separate obligations. That is why Freight Line Logistics Inc. and Freight Line Express Inc. each hold their own USDOT number, and why each record should be verified on its own.
Verify both companies before you tender freight
Checking only one side of a brokered load leaves a blind spot. The broker arranging the freight and the carrier hauling it hold different authorities, so a careful shipper looks up both records before releasing a load.
Confirm active authority
A SAFER lookup shows whether an authority is active, inactive, or revoked. Checking both records confirms that the broker arranging your load and the carrier hauling it are each authorized to do their job today, not just when they printed their paperwork.
Avoid unauthorized double brokering
Unauthorized double brokering usually starts with an unverified middle party. When you confirm the broker's authority and independently confirm the carrier assigned to the load, you close the gap where a load can be re-brokered without your knowledge.
Confirm insurance is current
FMCSA records link each authority to its insurance filings. Verifying both companies lets you confirm that required coverage is on file and current before your freight is on a trailer.
How to look a company up in SAFER
The full check takes about two minutes and costs nothing. Follow the same five steps for the broker and for the carrier.
01
Open Company Snapshot
Go to safer.fmcsa.dot.gov and open the Company Snapshot search. It is FMCSA's free public record of every registered broker and carrier.
02
Choose USDOT number
Select USDOT number as the search type. It is the most reliable identifier because every registered company has exactly one.
03
Enter the number
Type the USDOT number you were given, for example 4543525 for Freight Line Logistics Inc., and run the search.
04
Review the snapshot
Check the legal name, operating status, and authority type. A broker record should show broker authority, and a carrier record should show motor carrier authority.
05
Match the details
Confirm that everything on the snapshot matches what the company told you. If the legal name, status, or authority type does not line up, stop and ask questions before tendering freight.
Why this site leads with USDOT numbers
FMCSA is transitioning to USDOT-only identification under the Motus registration system, and MC docket numbers are being phased out. The USDOT number is becoming the single identifier for every registered company, whether it brokers freight or hauls it.
During the transition, newer authorities carry randomized docket numbers rather than sequential ones. That is why Freight Line Express Inc. (USDOT 9320877 | MC-90643427) holds a docket that looks different from older sequential MC numbers.
It is also why every authority reference on this site leads with the USDOT number. If you save one identifier for your records, save the USDOT number.
