Verification Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Business profiles on Oversize Ops can carry a "Verified" status. This page explains exactly what that does and doesn't mean.

What gets checked

Verification is a review by our team of the identity and registration information a business submits — company identity, and where applicable DOT/MC number consistency with publicly available federal registration records. It confirms the business appears to be who it says it is at the time of review.

Brokers are checked differently than carriers: a Broker profile is verified against its FMCSA broker operating authority (MC number issued specifically for property broker authority) and evidence of its required BMC-84 surety bond or trust fund (minimum $75,000), not a carrier DOT number. A Transporter posting a load in a brokering capacity is labeled "Broker by Transporter" rather than "Broker Load" on that listing, since it is relying on its carrier authority, not a separate broker authority.

What "Verified" does NOT mean

• It is not a government license, endorsement, or certification.
• It does not confirm current insurance coverage.
• It does not confirm an ongoing safety rating, accident history, or financial standing.
• It is a point-in-time check, not continuous monitoring — a business's status, authority, or insurance can change after verification.

Always independently verify a business's current operating authority and insurance before contracting with them — FMCSA SAFER is a good starting point. See our full Safety & Compliance Disclaimer.

How to get verified

To request verification, use our contact form from an address associated with your business account with your company name and DOT/MC number (Brokers: your broker MC number and BMC-84 bond information). Our team reviews the information against publicly available registration records and updates your status accordingly.

Losing verified status

We may remove a "Verified" badge if we learn the underlying information was false, has changed, or can no longer be confirmed.
