Broker Authority Check (FMCSA)
POST a freight broker MC number (or USDOT as a convenience) and get one ACTIVE_BONDED / WATCH / REVOKED verdict on its FMCSA standing: broker operating-authority status and age, full authority event history (revocations, reinstatements, involuntary suspensions), the BMC-84 surety bond or BMC-85 trust fund on file with amount and insurer vs the $75,000 MAP-21 minimum, and the BOC-3 process agent. This is EXPLICITLY NOT a credit score: broker payment behavior (days-to-pay) lives in proprietary factoring-contributed data and cannot be derived from public sources - the response says so rather than pretending. Built on daily-refreshed FMCSA Motus registration extracts, fail-closed if the mirror is stale; unknown dockets are a free 404 before any payment settles. Post-settle failures are auto-refunded.
