FMCSA insurance file as of May 14, 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 #3527885: 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.

MC number added
None → MC 1173384
Why it may matter: The MC (docket) number is what brokers and shippers use to check operating authority.
What it doesn't show: Having an MC number does not mean its authority is active.
Next step: Check the authority status for the new MC number.

The USDOT number is active, but FMCSA's records show no active for-hire carrier operating authority as of May 14, 2026. Without it the company can't haul brokered freight across state lines for hire.
FMCSA's authority history shows Hi Definition's common carrier authority is on record since January 7, 2021 (the original grant date isn't in FMCSA's electronic records).
Our daily record doesn't include Hi Definition's safety rating. Run a free live check to see FMCSA's current rating. Most carriers are "Not Rated", which is normal: it means FMCSA has never done a full audit.
FMCSA's safety data for October 2024 to October 2026 shows no roadside inspections and no reportable crashes for Hi Definition. That's common for new or small companies; it isn't a safety rating.
It looks overdue. FMCSA's records show it was last filed July 9, 2024. FMCSA can deactivate a USDOT number that misses its update and fine up to $1,000 a day (max $10,000). Updating is free with FMCSA.
No. FMCSA's records show no liability (BIPD) insurance on file for Hi Definition.
From public FMCSA records (the Company Census File, FMCSA's daily authority and insurance file and its monthly Safety Measurement System inspection and crash files).
