How to check broker credit (MC / DOT) before a load
Before accepting a load, freight dispatchers should check broker credit using the broker’s MC number, DOT number, or company name — not only a Telegram username. RateConfirm lets you run broker credit checks from your workspace so you can vet unfamiliar brokers while the offer is still in chat. Always verify critical details yourself; credit data and AI answers can be incomplete or wrong.
Practical checklist
- Copy MC or DOT from the offer or rate confirm when available
- Run a broker credit check in RateConfirm
- See if the broker is on your workspace blacklist
- Confirm rate, lane, and equipment details before booking

Quick answers
How do I check broker credit MC DOT before accepting a load?
Use the broker’s MC or DOT (or legal name) in RateConfirm’s broker credit check, review the result, and cross-check your workspace blacklist before you commit equipment.
Is a Telegram handle enough to trust a broker?
No. Usernames are easy to spoof. Prefer MC/DOT or a verifiable company name, plus your own blacklist and judgment.
Does RateConfirm guarantee a broker is safe?
No. Broker checks assist your decision; you remain responsible for dispatch and credit risk decisions.
