FMCSA insurance file as of November 14, 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. FMCSA has found 461 of these crashes not preventable. Out-of-service rates use only inspections that checked the driver or the vehicle.
Every roadside inspection in FMCSA's file for USDOT #80806: when, where, and which vehicles (type, make, VIN) the inspector recorded.

None → MC 135797
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.
