MovingDirt.com is a verified marketplace for aggregate and bulk material hauling — dirt, sand, gravel, crushed stone, base, fill, riprap, millings, C&D debris, and bulk commodities generally, with construction as our primary industry. We combine automated FMCSA data checks, owner-signed documentation, independent insurance verification, and a live phone call before any carrier is listed — and mirror similar checks for contractors before they can book.
Every owner-operator — dump trucks, tandem/tri-axle/quad dumps, transfer and super dumps, articulated dumps, straight trucks, and end-dump and belly-dump (bottom-dump) trailers — goes through all six steps below before receiving a "Verified" badge and appearing in the directory.
Carrier submits legal business name, USDOT & MC number, contact info, equipment type/count, service area, and years in operation.
We query the FMCSA QCMobile API against the submitted DOT/MC number in real time to confirm legal name match, active operating authority, out-of-service rate, and safety rating. Inactive authority, no record found, or an unsatisfactory safety rating halts the application automatically.
Certificate of Insurance (BIPD + cargo), W-9, operating authority letter, BOC-3 filing confirmation where applicable, a signed Carrier Verification & Attestation, and the signed Broker-Carrier Agreement (including the anti-circumvention clause).
Because fraudulent COIs are one of the most common fraud tactics in freight, we never trust the document alone. Our team cross-checks the FMCSA Licensing & Insurance public record and calls the insurer directly — using contact info we source independently, not just what's printed on the certificate.
A MovingDirt.com team member calls the carrier at a number matched against their FMCSA registration to confirm identity, confirm intent to actively haul, and walk through platform terms — including the held-funds process and proof-of-delivery obligations.
Once approved, the carrier is listed with a Verified badge. We re-pull FMCSA authority and safety status on a recurring basis and require COI renewal before expiration — auto-suspending any listing that lapses.
Contractors are extended payment terms and hold booking privileges, so we apply matching rigor before granting access to book trucks.
Legal business name, EIN, business address, and contractor license number where applicable — cross-checked against state license lookups.
Covers payment terms, the standard 10% platform fee on every brokered contract, the held-funds/escrow process, daily proof-of-delivery requirements, and the anti-circumvention clause.
Bank or payment details confirmed before booking privileges are granted; large first-time bookings are manually reviewed.
We track cancellation rate over time. Accounts exceeding a set threshold are flagged for review or suspended.
Contractor funds are held by Freight Broker Group LLC upon booking confirmation.
Carrier submits signed ticket, load/weight ticket photo, and timestamp for each completed haul.
POD is reviewed and approved by MovingDirt.com/Freight Broker Group LLC staff.
Held funds release to the carrier. Repeated late/missing POD is grounds for suspension.
