FMCSA insurance file as of November 15, 2026.
Filings are the active or pending insurance policies FMCSA lists for this company; our copy refreshes nightly. Coverage amounts are not shown per policy.
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 #4437633: 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.
Noticed by THC November 13, 2026 (changed after our November 12, 2026 copy)
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.

Noticed by THC November 12, 2026 (changed after our November 11, 2026 copy)
Motor carrier operating authority changed
Inactive → Pending
Why it may matter: Authority status decides what interstate for-hire work a company may legally do.
What it doesn't show: FMCSA's daily file shows the status, not the reason (for example missing insurance, a request by the company, or an order).
Next step: Run a live check, and confirm with the company using the phone number on its FMCSA record.

Noticed by THC November 12, 2026 (changed after our November 11, 2026 copy)
City or state on file changed
OAK RIDGE, TN → CLARKSVILLE, TN
Why it may matter: A move can change which state's rules and inspections apply.
What it doesn't show: This is the address the company reported to FMCSA; THC hasn't visited it.
Next step: Check that the address on paperwork matches.
