Check the FMCSA's official record before acting. No insurance could be filed from May 14 to 19, 2026, and some effective dates were backdated when Motus opened. Motus corrects wrongly issued suspensions in bulk, sometimes days later. found=false means no operating authority is on the register for this USDOT number; it does not mean the carrier is not authorized (a private carrier needs none). The law sets no time limit between an insurance cancellation, a suspension and a revocation: no such date is computed, only dates the FMCSA publishes are returned. The suspension notice dataset carries no revocation and no reason (insurance or process agent), keeps a notice even after it was cured (see insurance_filing_received_since_served), and only goes back to May 18, 2026; not every suspension is preceded by a published notice. registry_vs_history compares the registry status with the latest history event; the registry does not always follow voluntary suspensions, and both are returned without arbitration. newer_policy_on_file flags another policy of the same coverage on file with a later effective date (newer_policy_effective_date); it does not guarantee continuous coverage and may not be in effect yet. No coverage gap is computed. Insurance cancellations cover the last 60 days and ahead; a cancellation without a readable date is not returned. Coverage amounts are returned as the source delivers them: the data dictionary says thousands of dollars, the values read are in dollars. first_seen_on is the date this service first saw the row in its daily harvest (null when unknown).", "results": [ { "as_of": "2026-11-10", "authorities": [ { "authority_type": "Broker of Property (Except Household Goods)", "docket": "MC145655", "insurance_requirements": { "bipd_on_file_amount": 10000000, "bipd_required_amount": 0, "bond_on_file": true, "bond_required": true, "cargo_on_file": false, "cargo_required": false }, "last_event": { "date": "2000-09-20", "reason_family": "granted", "status": "active" }, "registry_status": "active", "registry_vs_history": "agree", "same_day_conflict": false }, { "authority_type": "Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods)", "docket": "MC145655", "insurance_requirements": { "bipd_on_file_amount": 10000000, "bipd_required_amount": 5000000, "bond_on_file": false, "bond_required": false, "cargo_on_file": false, "cargo_required": false }, "last_event": { "date": "1983-08-04", "reason_family": "granted", "status": "active" }, "registry_status": "active", "registry_vs_history": "agree", "same_day_conflict": false } ], "authority_lookup_url": "https://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/", "found": true, "insurance_cancellations": [], "next_deadline": null, "official_record_url": "https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&query_string=3327", "policies_on_file": [ { "coverage": "bond_or_trust_fund", "docket": "MC145655", "effective_date": "2024-09-10", "form": "BMC-84", "in_effect": true, "insurer": "Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America", "received_date": "2024-09-10" }, { "coverage": "liability", "docket": "MC145655", "effective_date": "2026-01-01", "form": "BMC-91X", "in_effect": true, "insurer": "Ace American Insurance Company", "received_date": "2025-11-24" } ], "state": "AR", "suspension_notices": [], "time_zone": "America/Chicago", "time_zone_known": true, "usdot_number": "3327" } ], "rules": [ { "id": "387.313T(d)", "status": "in force (temporary \"T\" section, 82 FR 5308, Jan. 17, 2017, as amended at 83 FR 16226 and 84 FR 51434)", "url": "https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/section-387.313T" }, { "id": "387.301T(a)(1)", "status": "in force (temporary \"T\" section, 82 FR 5307, as amended at 83 FR 22877)", "url": "https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/section-387.301T" }, { "id": "387.307(d)(2)(i)", "status": "in force (section effective January 16, 2026; as amended at 91 FR 45661, July 21, 2026)", "url": "https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/section-387.307" }, { "id": "387.413T(d)", "status": "in force (temporary \"T\" section, 82 FR 5310, as amended at 83 FR 16226 and 84 FR 51434)", "url": "https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/section-387.413T" }, { "id": "49 USC 13906(a)(1)", "status": "in force", "url": "https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/t49/s13906/" }, { "id": "49 USC 13906(e)", "status": "in force", "url": "https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/t49/s13906/" }, { "id": "49 USC 13905(f)(1)(A)", "status": "in force", "url": "https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/t49/s13905/" }, { "id": "49 USC 13905(f)(3)", "status": "in force", "url": "https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/t49/s13905/" }, { "id": "49 USC 13901(a)", "status": "in force", "url": "https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/t49/s13901/" }, { "id": "392.9a(a)-(b)", "status": "in force (71 FR 50867, as amended at 78 FR 60233)", "url": "https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/section-392.9a" } ] }, "type": "json" }
