Sample Filing Co.
228 of the 1,240 carriers that list you as their BOC-3 agent (18%) received an involuntary suspension notice since FMCSA launched Motus on May 14, 2026. 34 notices haven't taken effect yet, and 21 of them show no new insurance filing since they were served. Those carriers go offline on the effective date unless someone fixes the filing first. Another 12 carriers have enough insurance on file but still show as not active, the pattern behind most Motus errors.
Brokers' vetting software reads these records automatically. A carrier that shows inactive gets rejected before anyone looks, and the carrier usually calls you after the loads are already gone.

Act now: open notices
FMCSA served an involuntary suspension notice. Authority goes inactive on the effective date unless the cause is fixed.
Fix: Find the cause (usually an insurance or BOC-3 filing). Get the replacement filing in before the effective date, then confirm the record shows it.

Insurance cancelling soon, no replacement filed
The insurer filed a cancellation that takes effect soon, and no newer liability filing is on record. Authority will be suspended after it lapses.
Fix: Call the carrier and their agent now. A new BMC-91X has to be on file before the cancellation date.

Insured, but not active
Enough insurance is on file and a BOC-3 exists, yet authority shows Inactive or Pending. This is the pattern behind most Motus system errors.
Fix: Open an FMCSA ticket with the insurance filing and BOC-3 confirmation. If the authority was suspended, file the reinstatement. Send brokers the evidence packet meanwhile.

At risk: insurance on file below the requirement
The record shows less liability coverage on file than FMCSA requires. This is the usual trigger for a suspension at the next check.
Fix: Ask the insurer to refile the BMC-91X at the required limit. The policy often already covers it; the filing is what's wrong.

What Active Authority does
Every morning it checks every carrier in your book against FMCSA's records. When a notice is served, a filing falls short, or a carrier is stuck, your team gets a prioritized list with the cause and the exact fix, in English and Spanish, while there's still time to act. You keep the client relationship and the fix revenue.
