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 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 #3136965: 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.
Noticed by THC November 15, 2026 (changed after our November 14, 2026 copy)
New operating authority record
Carrier: Pending
Why it may matter: A new authority docket often means a new carrier or broker, or a company adding a new kind of authority.
What it doesn't show: A pending authority is not yet active and cannot be used to haul or broker loads.
Next step: Wait for authority to become active before booking, and check insurance on file.

Noticed by THC November 14, 2026 (changed after our November 13, 2026 copy)
Number of drivers 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 11, 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.

City or state on file changed
AZTEC, NM → LUCEDALE, MS
Why it may matter: A move can change which state's rules and inspections apply.
What it doesn't show: This is the address the company reported to FMCSA; THC hasn't visited it.
Next step: Check that the address on paperwork matches.

Noticed by THC November 14, 2026 (changed after our November 13, 2026 copy)
Phone number on file changed
(505) 366-6677 → (601) 673-5132
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.

The USDOT number is active, but FMCSA's records show no active for-hire carrier operating authority as of November 15, 2026. Without it the company can't haul brokered freight across state lines for hire.
