Drayage and 53' dry van freight out of Southern California.
Safety and Compliance
We do not publish our operating numbers on this website. Here is why, and here is how you verify us anyway.
Why our DOT and MC numbers are not on this page
Carrier identity theft is one of the fastest-growing frauds in freight. The pattern is well documented: someone copies a real carrier's operating numbers, legal name, and branding straight off that carrier's website, registers a lookalike email domain, and books loads as them. The freight disappears, or the payment does, and the carrier whose identity was used spends months cleaning it up.
The numbers themselves are public record and we are not pretending otherwise. What a website hands a fraudster is not the number, it is the finished kit — numbers, name, address, phone, logo, and the way we write, all in one place, ready to be reproduced. We are not going to make that convenient.
So our operating authority, insurance certificate, and W-9 go to you directly, from a named person, when we set up. Then you verify them yourself against the FMCSA database rather than trusting anything we printed. That is a better check than a number on a web page, because a number on a web page proves nothing about who is emailing you.
How to verify a carrier — including us
Take the DOT number the carrier gives you directly — never one you found on a website or in an email signature — and look it up in the FMCSA Company Snapshot. It shows operating status, authority, insurance on file, power units, and inspection and crash history. It is free and it takes about a minute.
Check that the name on the truck door matches the name attached to that DOT number. Federal rules require the operating carrier's legal or registered trade name and the USDOT number on both sides of the power unit. A truck whose door does not match its registration is a signal worth acting on.
For port work, confirm the carrier is enrolled in the Ports' Drayage Truck Registry. A truck that is not registered cannot enter a San Pedro Bay terminal, no matter what the rate confirmation says.
Check the email domain against the carrier's real domain, character by character. Lookalike domains — a swapped letter, a hyphen added, .co instead of .com — are the single most common vector in freight fraud, and they are designed to survive a quick glance.
Do this to every carrier, not just to us. Double-brokering and carrier identity fraud are real problems in this market, and a sixty-second check is the cheapest insurance in freight.
