Where the report data comes from

Reports are built from datasets the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration publishes on data.transportation.gov: carrier registration, operating authority history, insurance filings, BOC-3 designations and suspension notices. These records are public. We don't use logins, private portals or anything a carrier or filing shop hasn't already filed with FMCSA.

What we collect from you

If you email us, we keep your message and address so we can reply and send your report. That is all. This website has no analytics, no advertising trackers and no cookies.

Who sees it

We don't sell or share your contact details. A shop's report is sent only to that shop, at a private link that isn't listed anywhere or indexed by search engines.

If a record is wrong

We show what FMCSA's public data says, and that data runs about a day behind the live record. If a report shows something that isn't right, tell us and we'll check it against the source. Corrections to the record itself have to go through FMCSA.

Stopping email, or removing your details

Reply to any message and say so, or write to cory@activeauthorityhq.com. We'll stop emailing you and delete your contact details.

Who we are

Active Authority is a private service run by Cory Shoaf. It is not affiliated with FMCSA or the U.S. Department of Transportation.
