Is uShip legit?

uShip is a real, FMCSA-registered company: the license checks below pass. That is the floor, not a recommendation — check the reviews and the terms before you pay.

  • FMCSA registrationActive when we checked on Sep 15, 2026. uShip Concierge LLC holds USDOT 2895862.
  • Operating authorityMC-973139, classified by FMCSA as property broker.
  • Years on recordFMCSA has had a record for this company since 2016 — 10 years. A long record is not a guarantee, but a brand-new one on a company claiming decades of experience is worth asking about.
  • Registered addressAustin, TX.
  • Reported to HaulwideNo Scam Watch report about uShip has been filed with us. That means nobody has told us, not that nothing has happened.
  • Financial securitySurety bond (BMC-84) on file with Merchants National Bonding, Inc, since Jul 27, 2016. A broker cannot hold authority without it.

What a license check cannot tell you

  • A license says a company may legally arrange your shipment. It does not say they are good at it.
  • Authority can lapse between our checks, so look the USDOT number up yourself before you pay.
  • Most complaints in this industry are about pickup delays, price changes after booking and damage claims — none of which show up in a registration record.

It is a different record from the registration above: the registration means the company keeps its details on file, and the authority is what permits it to move vehicles for hire.

Financial security on file

Surety bond (BMC-84) with Merchants National Bonding, Inc, on file since Jul 27, 2016. A broker must keep $75,000 of security filed to hold authority.
