Things to remember when using a Broker
Carrier

 Cargo $500,000 or greater

• No cargo valued of $500,000 may be brokered without getting
advance permission unless the carrier has cargo insurance equal to or
greater than the value of the freight.

 Verify broker carrier information to avoid being SCAMMED by cargo

thieves. Don’t assume you’re talking to the carrier.
• Check all their information against the AS400
• Don’t accept ICC or MC#, get FID #’s?
• Have them give you their information – verify what they say
• Phone and Fax numbers must match what is in the AS400?
• Notify Landstar Security of any potential scams
