Every company in this directory has an FMCSA record. Far fewer have a site of their own — so the record is all a broker, shipper or driver finds when they look you up. A website is where your authority, insurance, equipment and contact details live, in your words rather than a government form’s.
- ✓ $274 one-time — you own the site outright
- ✓ First year of hosting included, $150/yr after
- ✓ Your authority, insurance and equipment, presented properly
- ✓ Live in 5–7 business days. No contracts, no monthly fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many freight brokers are based in Iowa?
There are 1,159 active FMCSA-licensed freight brokers based in Iowa, operating across 373 cities. Each holds active broker authority verified by USDOT/MC number.
How do I verify a Iowa freight broker is licensed and bonded?
Every broker on this page has active FMCSA broker authority. Verify each broker's MC number on FMCSA SAFER (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx), confirm their BMC-84 surety bond or BMC-85 trust fund is current via FMCSA L&I (li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov), and check broker authority status on the FMCSA Insurance & Boarding system. Click any broker on this list to see full FMCSA profile.
What's the difference between a freight broker and a dispatch service?
A freight broker holds FMCSA broker authority (MC-FF number), takes legal responsibility for connecting shippers and carriers, and earns commission from the spread between shipper rate and carrier pay. A dispatch service works for the carrier, finding loads on the carrier's behalf — most charge a percentage of each load (typically 5-10%), though O Trucking charges a flat weekly rate ($250/week semis, $350/week box & hotshot) instead, so your cost never rises with your revenue. Brokers represent shippers; dispatchers represent carriers.
How are brokers in this list ranked?
Brokers are sorted by authority age (oldest authorities first), since longer-established brokerages generally have more verified track record. Click any broker name to view their FMCSA registration details, MC number, address, and authority history.
Need carriers to haul your freight?
O Trucking represents owner-operators and small fleets nationwide. We connect brokers with vetted carriers running Dry Van, Reefer, Flatbed, Box Truck, and Hotshot equipment. 24/7 dispatch + rate negotiation.
