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 #2509486: when, where, and which vehicles (type, make, VIN) the inspector recorded.

Liability insurance on file changed
$1,000,000 → 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.

MCS-150 updated
FMCSA's file dates the update November 3, 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.
Source: FMCSA Company Census File (data.transportation.gov).
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
