  • Registration with the FMCSA must be completed by brokers of general freight and household goods.

Brokers of general freight and household goods must register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) by filing a Form OP-1, Application for Motor Property Carrier and Broker Authority. Entities wishing to provide motor carriage and broker service must register with the FMCSA as both a motor carrier and a broker.

A broker is an individual or entity that arranges, for compensation, the truck transportation of cargo belonging to others. Brokers utilize authorized for-hire carriers to provide the actual truck transportation. A broker does not assume responsibility for the cargo and usually does not take possession of the cargo. A broker may provide the transportation itself only if the broker is also registered to provide transportation as a motor carrier.
