FOODLINER holds active federal broker authority (163711). Whether a surety bond is on file, the bond amount versus the $75,000 BMC-84 floor, and any authority revocations are shown in the broker-vetting section on this page — check them before you haul, since a bonded, active broker is the baseline signal you can expect to get paid.
Operating authority is verified against the live public registry and refreshed daily. Current status: ACTIVE. "active" means the carrier is authorized to operate; "inactive" or "out-of-service" indicates the carrier should not be hauling.
Liability and cargo insurance status is drawn from the latest filings on record. Current status: active. We mark a carrier "lapsed" when the most recent cancellation date is in the past with no superseding policy.
FOODLINER was last inspected on 2026-09-08. We've recorded 407 inspections in the trailing 12 months.
FOODLINER is registered as 163711. Many brokers reference carriers by MC; both identifiers resolve to the same carrier record.

The reverse check: whether this freight broker is legit, bonded, and safe to haul for — before you take the load.
This broker holds active federal broker authority and a surety bond on file — the baseline signals a legitimate, payable broker are in place. Still get a signed rate confirmation before you roll.
Based on public FMCSA registration, surety-bond, and revocation records. We don't have broker payment-history data — this checks that the broker is authorized and bonded, not that they always pay on time.
