Authority dates

Broker authority first granted: December 10, 1984
Broker authority last granted or reinstated: December 10, 1984
Broker authority status: Inactive

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.
