FMCSA insurance file as of November 15, 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 #4255719: 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.

USDOT status changed
Inactive → Active
Why it may matter: An inactive USDOT number should not be used for interstate commercial trucking.
What it doesn't show: USDOT status is not operating authority. An active USDOT can still have no active MC authority.
Next step: Run a live check, and confirm with the company using the phone number on its FMCSA record.
Source: FMCSA Company Census File (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
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.
FMCSA's authority history shows J & M Towing LLC's common carrier authority is on record since July 25, 2024 (the original grant date isn't in FMCSA's electronic records).
Our daily record doesn't include J & M Towing LLC'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 J & M Towing LLC. 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 June 17, 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 J & M Towing LLC.
