- 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.

- Reported to HaulwideNo Scam Watch report about uShip has been filed with us. That means nobody has told us, not that nothing has happened.

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.
