Days with no filing on record

None found: in the filings above that list both dates, each cancellation date is met by another filing of the same cover effective on or before it.

Worked out from the two tables above: the time between one filing's cancellation date (Motus InsHist - All With History) and the next effective date for the same docket and cover (Motus InsHist - All With History or Motus Insur - All With History). Excess layers are left out. FMCSA's own insurance-related suspensions are in the authority history.

FMCSA's older licensing file stopped updating on 2026-05-14. What it listed then is compared with FMCSA's census today, so you can see a change even before anyone looked this carrier up here. Sign in free to see the old and new values.

Sources: Carrier - All With History (legacy, last refreshed 2026-05-14, no longer updated) (legal_name, bus_telno, bus_street_po, bus_zip_code); Company Census File (phone, cell_phone, legal_name, phy_street, phy_zip). The old file lists a business address (bus_*), the census a physical one (phy_*); they are compared by the numbers in the street line and the ZIP, because the two files spell street words differently. A change can be a normal move or a new phone.
