How it works

A clean record is step one

01

Check the record

Confirm the carrier is authorized and allowed to operate.

02

Check the contact

Call the number on the FMCSA record, not the one in the email.

03

Check again later

Authority, insurance, and contact details change. One check at setup is not enough.

Check every carrier automatically

Clyde Shield runs this on every carrier email

Questions

MC lookup, answered

Yes. It is free and needs no signup. It reads public FMCSA records for the MC or USDOT number you enter.

The carrier's legal name and DBA, USDOT and MC numbers, authority status, whether FMCSA lists it as allowed to operate, its location, and out-of-service rates when FMCSA reports them.

No. A record tells you the carrier exists and is authorized. It does not tell you the person emailing you works for that carrier. Confirm contact details through the phone number and email on the FMCSA record.

From FMCSA's public carrier data. Clyde does not add opinions or fraud scores to a specific carrier.

Clyde Shield runs a live FMCSA check on every carrier email, flags lookalike domains, and freezes payment detail changes until a person confirms.
