Authority dates

Common carrier authority on record since: October 14, 2020 (original grant date not in FMCSA's electronic records)
Common carrier authority status: None

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.

Inspections and crashesOctober 2024 to October 2026

Roadside inspections: 0
Driver out-of-service inspections: No inspections
Vehicle out-of-service inspections: No inspections
Reportable crashes: 0

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.
