FMCSA insurance file as of November 15, 2026.
Insurer names and policy numbers appear here once our nightly copy has them. Run the live check for the current FMCSA filing.
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 #1824516: when, where, and which vehicles (type, make, VIN) the inspector recorded.
THC compares FMCSA's files every night and keeps what changed. Tracked since October 30, 2026, last compared November 15, 2026.

Liability insurance on file changed
$750,000 → None on file
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: This does not show why: the policy may have lapsed, or the company may be switching insurers.
Next step: Ask for a current certificate of insurance and confirm it with the insurance company directly.

Number of trucks reported changed
1 → 2
Why it may matter: Fleet size shows roughly how big the operation is.
What it doesn't show: These are the company's own MCS-150 numbers, not a count FMCSA checked.
Next step: Nothing needed unless other details changed too.

MCS-150 updated
FMCSA's file dates the update November 6, 2026
Why it may matter: Carriers must update the MCS-150 every two years. A fresh update means the fleet and contact details are recent.
What it doesn't show: The MCS-150 is filled in by the company itself; FMCSA doesn't check the numbers.
Next step: Nothing needed unless other details changed too.

Phone number on file changed
(915) 852-7451 → (915) 613-8018
Why it may matter: Load scams often start with a phone or email that doesn't match the FMCSA record, so a recent change is worth knowing about.
What it doesn't show: Companies change numbers for ordinary reasons. The change doesn't show who made it.
Next step: Call the number now on file to confirm any load, not a number from an email or text.
