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.
Source: FMCSA daily authority and insurance file (Motus, 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
