How to verify 5 STAR TOWING LLC before you book

This check reads 5 STAR TOWING LLC's public FMCSA record — how long its operating authority (MC-834243) has been active, whether it's been revoked and reinstated, its recent roadside-inspection activity, and its safety rating. New or repeatedly-revoked authority is the most common double-brokering and identity-theft tell, so those weigh heaviest.

A clean record here is a good start, not a guarantee. Before dispatching a load, confirm the carrier's identity directly: call the number on their FMCSA record (not one emailed to you), verify the MC# matches the company name, and watch for a contact tied to multiple MC numbers.
