The Network in Numbers

Total NCCDB complaints across the network: 4,198.

Total principals directly linked to Safe Ship: 7.

Total Florida corporate filings connected to Safe Ship officers or addresses: 13.

Number of companies on Safe Ship's published carrier list: 298.

Companies in the network with revoked or inactive authority that still appear on Safe Ship's carrier list: identified but count varies as FMCSA updates authority status.

Geographic spread: The network's DOT registrations span Florida (Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Hollywood, West Palm Beach), New Jersey (Fairfield, Garfield, Clifton, Hackensack, Belleville), California (Vernon, Chatsworth), Illinois (Des Plaines), Texas (Alvarado, Fort Worth), Georgia (Tucker), Colorado (Aurora, Denver), and at least 15 other states.

What This Map Shows

FMCSA does not maintain a network graph of connected entities. Each DOT number is treated as an independent registration. When Safe Ship dispatches a consumer's move to a carrier with 166 complaints, FMCSA's system does not flag that relationship. When the same attorney represents four companies with a combined 759 complaints, there is no automated alert.

The Safe Ship network demonstrates how a single broker can sit at the center of a web connecting hundreds of carriers, multiple corporate shells, and a handful of principals who appear across the most-complained operations in the country. The 369 connected DOT numbers represent 369 separate FMCSA registrations, each processed independently, each reviewed (if at all) without reference to the others.

Every connection documented in this article comes from public records: FMCSA SAFER registrations, Florida SunBiz corporate filings, federal court dockets, and Safe Ship's own published carrier list.
