--- title: "MC Number Lookup: Is This Carrier a New Authority?" url: "https://rookiefeed.com/mc-number-lookup" --- # MC number lookup > Free MC and USDOT number check: authority status, grant date, how new the authority is, home state, trucks and equipment, updated daily. Use it: https://rookiefeed.com/mc-number-lookup?q= (also as markdown: https://rookiefeed.com/mc-number-lookup.md?q=...). Limited to 30 lookups per 10 minutes per IP. ## Questions ### What can I check here? Any MC, MX or FF docket number, any USDOT number, or part of a company name. You get the authority status, when it was granted or applied for, whether it is a first-time authority, the home city and state, power units, drivers and an equipment guess from the cargo the carrier registered. ### Why does it say a number wasn't found? This tool covers every authority grant and new application FMCSA has published since August 30, 2026. A carrier that got its authority before that and has had no new grant or application since won't be here. ### How new is a new authority? We count days from FMCSA's grant date. A first-time authority means the docket never held active authority before; a returning one was reinstated or granted again after a lapse, and is more likely to have a factor and insurance relationships already. ### How current is it? It's Rookiefeed analysis, refreshed every morning. We aren't affiliated with FMCSA. Status can change during the day; check with FMCSA before relying on it for a load or a policy. ### Why no phone number or email? Contact details are what Rookiefeed subscribers pay for.
