Montgomery removed the federal shield: a broker can now be sued under state law when a carrier it hired causes harm. This is where the diligence starts: describe the carrier in plain words, narrow by the facts on record, and when the record shows a risk, order the signed Certified Diligence Report.
Live search is for subscribers. The box below is a preview with three worked examples; your own terms will work once you have a plan.
"reefer carrier for grocery loads." Results come back by meaning, not spelling.
Texas. 100 or more trucks. Zero fatal crashes. The list tightens to the record.
A carrier shows "Operating authority was revoked in the past." One click orders the CDR: the signed record that answers show me how you vetted. Clean carriers are never flagged.
No. It matches on meaning. Partial or loose wording still lands.
Yes. Words for the kind of carrier, filters for the facts.
Numbers are a filter, not a phrase. Put the threshold in the fleet-size filter.
When a carrier's record shows one of these, the result is flagged with the reason in these exact words and offers the Certified Diligence Report: "Operating authority was revoked in the past." · "Operating authority has been revoked and reinstated more than once." · "Operating authority is not currently active." · "A liability-insurance cancellation is on record." · "No active liability insurance is on file." · "A fatal crash is on record." · "New carrier — under two years in operation." Clean carriers are not prompted.
No. It finds carriers and shows the record. The decision stays with you.
In Montgomery, the Supreme Court held that a broker can be sued when a carrier it hired causes harm. The practical question after that ruling is whether you can show how you vetted the carrier. Search is where that starts; the Certified Diligence Report is the signed, dated document that shows it.
FMCSA registration, authority, insurance, inspection, and crash records, refreshed weekly, plus public corporate records. Every fact shown carries its source. Nothing is inferred and presented as a record.
