FMCSA pending suspension for insurance: what the notice means for carriers and agents

When FMCSA no longer has a valid liability filing for a carrier, it serves a notice that the operating authority will be suspended unless proof of insurance arrives. Our daily data shows a deadline about 30 days after the notice is served. 87% of recent authority suspensions in FMCSA's revocation data were for insurance, so a notice is a strong signal the carrier is shopping or about to be shut down.
