FMCSA insurance file as of November 15, 2026.
Filings are the active or pending insurance policies FMCSA lists for this company; our copy refreshes nightly. Coverage amounts are not shown per policy.
From FMCSA's authority history (its current Motus system, plus the older L&I history it froze on May 14, 2026). "First granted" is the earliest grant on record; "on record since" is the earliest action FMCSA has when the grant itself is older than its electronic records. "Active since" is the latest grant or reinstatement, so a lapse that FMCSA reinstated restarts the clock.
From FMCSA's Safety Measurement System files, October 2024 to October 2026. Crash counts include crashes the carrier didn't cause. Out-of-service rates use only inspections that checked the driver or the vehicle.
Every roadside inspection in FMCSA's file for USDOT #1188867: when, where, and which vehicles (type, make, VIN) the inspector recorded.

Liability insurance on file changed
$750,000 → $1,000,000
Why it may matter: For-hire carriers must keep liability (BIPD) insurance on file with FMCSA to keep authority active.
What it doesn't show: The amount on file is the filing, not the full policy. It doesn't show deductibles or exclusions.
Next step: Ask for a current certificate of insurance and confirm it with the insurance company directly.

Motor carrier operating authority changed
Inactive → Active
Why it may matter: Authority status decides what interstate for-hire work a company may legally do.
What it doesn't show: FMCSA's daily file shows the status, not the reason (for example missing insurance, a request by the company, or an order).
Next step: Run a live check, and confirm with the company using the phone number on its FMCSA record.
