Know who you're dealing with

Broker, carrier, dispatcher, lead site, or marketplace?

What is an auto transport broker?
A broker holds FMCSA broker authority and a surety bond. It arranges your shipment with a licensed motor carrier and manages it through delivery. River Valley Auto Transport is a broker.
What is a motor carrier?
A motor carrier owns or operates the truck that physically moves your vehicle. It must hold its own operating authority and cargo insurance.
What is a dispatcher?
A dispatcher books loads for carriers. Dispatchers are not required to hold broker authority and should not be taking your payment or signing your shipping contract.
What is a lead-generation website?
A lead-generation site collects your contact details and sells them to several companies. It usually has no USDOT or MC number of its own, and you may receive many calls after submitting one form.
What is a quote marketplace?
A marketplace lists your vehicle so multiple brokers or carriers can bid. You then deal with whichever company wins, so verify that company, not the marketplace.
What is an MC number?
An MC number is the operating authority docket number issued by the FMCSA. Any broker or carrier arranging interstate transport for hire must have one. Ours is MC 774106.
