Shield Carriers

For USDOT-registered carriers

Protect your FMCSA/DOT contact info from spam, scams, and robocalls.

Shield Carriers gives motor carriers a protected phone number and email address for public DOT records, helping reduce unwanted calls and emails from marketers scraping carrier data while keeping important contacts reachable.

How it works

Four steps. Then you just drive.

01

Verify your DOT

Enter your business name, USDOT number, and real phone and email, then sign the attestation that you're authorized and your authority is in good standing. Takes a minute.

02

Claim your shield

Start your plan and we provision your shield contacts right away. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.

03

Publish the shield, hide your real contacts

Update your public FMCSA/DOT record (MCS-150 and SAFER) to publish your shield phone and email instead of your personal contacts. Emergency and regulator lines always ring through — 911, DOT, FMCSA, PHMSA, NCCDB, CHEMTREC, and the courts can't be blocked, ever.

04

Drive, we filter

Real loads and inspectors get through. Insurance pitchers and factoring sales calls get turned away. You see every call, text, and email in your dashboard.

The safety allowlist is on by default and can't be turned off. Your real loads and inspectors come through — everyone else has to earn it.

What gets through. What doesn't.

Always reaches you

  • 911 and emergency dispatch
  • .gov and .mil senders
  • DOT inspectors and state DOT
  • FMCSA, PHMSA, NCCDB
  • CHEMTREC for hazmat
  • Courts and process servers
  • Brokers and shippers on your allow list

Gets filtered

  • Cold insurance pitch calls
  • Factoring sales calls
  • Unsolicited broker callers
  • Pre-recorded "DOT compliance" scams
  • Lead-list resellers
  • SMS marketing blasts
  • Promo email from list-scrapers

The safety allowlist cannot be turned off. Not by you. Not by us. Not by anyone.

Built for the way carriers actually work.

A shield phone number

Publish a phone number you control instead of your cell. Voice can be block-all, filtered, or open. Your real cell stays yours.

A shield email

A shield address you publish on your FMCSA record instead of your real inbox. Filter independently from voice. Your real inbox stays clean.

Channel modes

Voice, SMS, and email each have their own mode. Block all, filter, allow all — change in two taps. Modes update instantly.

Always-on safety allowlist

911, .gov/.mil, DOT, FMCSA, PHMSA, NCCDB, CHEMTREC, courts. Always through. Cannot be disabled — by anyone.

Cancel a paid plan, keep your number 30 days.

When you cancel a paid plan that includes a shield phone number, we hold your number for 30 days so you can update your FMCSA record and anywhere else it is published. Resubscribe during that window and you keep the same number, no setup. After 30 days the number is released. The 30-day number hold does not apply to unpaid trials that end without converting, or to plans without a shield phone number.

30
Day number hold

From the date you cancel a paid plan with a shield number until the number is released. Resubscribe in that window to keep it.

Quick answers

Will I miss a load?+

No. Brokers and shippers you've worked with can be added to your allow list — they ring straight through. Cold callers do not. If a real broker hits the filter the first time, they press 1 to connect and your dashboard logs the call so you can move them to your allow list permanently. Cold dialers and robocalls don't press 1; they hang up.

What about my insurance company?+

Add their phone and email to your allow list once. Future renewals, claims, and COI requests come straight through. The same goes for your factoring company (if you have one), your ELD provider, and your accountant.

Can DOT still reach me?+

Always. DOT inspectors, FMCSA, PHMSA, NCCDB, state DOT, CHEMTREC, and the courts are on a baseline allowlist that cannot be turned off — not by you, not by us, not by anyone. .gov and .mil senders also always come through.
