Authority dates

Common carrier authority first granted: December 5, 2023
Common carrier authority active since: December 4, 2025 (11 months)
Common carrier authority status: Active

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.
