Amazon Relay
A Relay contract makes your LLCa different asset class.
A Relay account doesn't sell by itself. The LLC that runs it does, and the Relay contract stays with that LLC. Enter your MC or DOT number: the lookup reads your public FMCSA record and starts a free valuation.

- What does the seller keep?
- The seller keeps 100% of the price. Buyers pay Veritor separately.
What buyers evaluate
What a buyer checks in a Relay carrier
Most of this is on the public FMCSA record, which is why the lookup starts with your MC or DOT number.
Authority age
How long the MC authority has been active.
Insurance history
Whether coverage has stayed on file without gaps.
Safety record
The safety rating, inspections and violations on the FMCSA record.
Relay standing

How it works
From MC number to closing
Enter your MC or DOT
The lookup reads your public FMCSA record and starts a free valuation. Nothing from your Relay account is needed.
Review your valuation
We go through the valuation with you on a call, including your Relay standing. When a buyer is interested, you get an offer and decide whether to accept it.
Accept and close
Closing is typically 3 to 5 business days after an offer is accepted when everything is in order. The new owner completes Amazon's own onboarding and verification steps.
FAQ
Questions Relay carriers ask
Does my Amazon Relay contract transfer when I sell my LLC?
The contract stays with the LLC, and the LLC is what sells. Its accounts pass to the new owner at closing, and the new owner completes Amazon's own onboarding and verification steps. Nobody at Veritor asks for your Relay login before closing.
Do I need Amazon's approval to sell my LLC?
Amazon has its own onboarding and verification steps, which the new owner completes, and Amazon makes its own decisions about its program. Veritor Group is independent and does not speak for Amazon. For questions about your own Relay agreement, check the agreement itself or ask Amazon directly.
What if my Relay account is suspended?
Tell us on the call. A suspended or paused Relay account changes what buyers look at, so we go through your situation with you before anything else. The MC or DOT lookup works the same either way.
I don't have Relay, but my authority is past 180 days. Can I still sell?
Yes, if the company fits the other profile buyers look for: MC authority and insurance continuously active for 180 days or more, insurance in force right now, authority in good standing and a clean safety record. Enter your MC or DOT to see where your company stands.
Do you need my Relay login or password?
Not for the valuation, not for the call, and never by text. Company accounts pass from you to the buyer at closing as part of the LLC, and what hands over when is covered on the call. If someone asks for your Relay login earlier in Veritor's name, don't reply, and let us know.
Who pays Veritor?
Buyers pay Veritor separately. The seller keeps 100% of the price.
What documents are needed?
To start, only your MC or DOT number. Later in the sale, the company papers are needed: Articles of Organization, EIN letter, MC certificate (Letter of Authority) and certificate of insurance. Anything else depends on the company and is covered on a call.
How long does it take?
Closing is typically 3 to 5 business days after an offer is accepted when everything is in order. If something in your file needs more time, we tell you on the call.
More detail: Selling an LLC with an active Relay contractWhat qualifiesThe 180-day rule
Nobody at Veritor asks for your Relay login or password during the valuation or on calls, and never by text. Company accounts, Relay included, pass from you to the buyer at closing as part of the LLC.
