FMCSA insurance file as of November 14, 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. FMCSA has found 10 of these crashes not preventable. Out-of-service rates use only inspections that checked the driver or the vehicle.
Every roadside inspection in FMCSA's file for USDOT #164259: when, where, and which vehicles (type, make, VIN) the inspector recorded.

Why it may matter: FMCSA issues these orders when, for example, insurance lapses or a fine goes unpaid. Authority may stop being active.
What it doesn't show: Orders can be withdrawn or fixed later. Check whether authority is active now.
Next step: Run a live check, and confirm with the company using the phone number on its FMCSA record.

Dates are when THC noticed the change in FMCSA's files, not when it happened, unless FMCSA's file gives the date. FMCSA's files can lag behind FMCSA's own systems. Check this record on FMCSA SAFER · Daily FMCSA change reports
