Before the NDA

See the record before you sign anything.

Every listing shows the company's federal data. If some data is older, we show its date.

Seller controlThe seller confirms with a code sent to the phone or email on the federal record.
"Papers checked"Articles + EIN letter matched: the company's state papers (Articles) and its IRS EIN letter match the owner. Shown for 90 days.
What "Papers checked" is not: a promise of no debts or liens. We check those before the contract.

For sellers

Your name stays hidden from the public.

  • Only to a checked buyerA buyer sees your name, MC, USDOT and papers only after your manager opens your company to them and they sign the NDA and pass the ID and selfie check, and only while your exclusive is active. Without an exclusive, buyers see our check results only.
  • No direct contactBuyer and seller talk only through the manager until the purchase contract is signed.
Money and transfer

The seller is paid only after the buyer's check.

Escrow.com is a licensed escrow agent: it holds the money safely until the deal is done. Not TruckBiz. Not the buyer or the seller.

  1. Step 1
    Contract signedAfter the final check. Buyer and seller sign.
  2. Step 2

  5. Step 5
    Seller paidBuyer confirms or says nothing: Escrow.com pays the seller.

Avoid MC scams

Walk away if you see these.

Wherever you buy, these are red flags.

  • "Send the money to me directly"Wire, Zelle or cash, outside escrow.On TruckBiz: money goes only to Escrow.com.
  • "Rent my MC" or "just the number"Renting or leasing an MC is not a legal transfer.On TruckBiz: you buy the whole company.
  • No documents, only screenshotsNo LLC papers, no IRS EIN letter, no proof they control the company.On TruckBiz: every seller proves control with a code.
  • "Pay today, another buyer is waiting"Pressure to pay before any check.On TruckBiz: the company check comes before the contract.
One rule: keep every payment inside Escrow.com. If anyone asks you to pay outside it, stop and call us: (866) 620-0177.
