behind the answer.

O Trucking consolidates public FMCSA census and Motus exports into an indexed Cloudflare D1 mirror. The complete, current ingestion status is available as structured data at /api/status. Files still being imported are not marked complete.

Company census

Company Census File covers active, inactive, and pending registered entities. A registration code does not prove active operating authority or current insurance. Carrier self-reported fleet and mileage information can lag.

Motus

Carrier authorities, authority history, insurance, insurance history, revocation/suspension, and BOC-3 agents are stored with individual source dates. Six full published exports and six daily-difference exports are supported. History datasets can contain multiple records per USDOT or docket number. We preserve these relationships rather than flattening them into a misleading single status.

Legacy history

The carrier profile also queries eight FMCSA legacy archives on demand and caches results. These archives were last refreshed May 14, 2026. Historical authority and insurance events are shown separately from current Motus data; newer catalog dates do not make archived events current.

Other official references

NHTSA vPIC is a bounded live VIN lookup, not a bulk vehicle-history database. eCFR and FMCSA guidance are curated references, not a complete legal-text index. No proprietary broker payment or credit scores are supplied.

Freshness

Carrier and Motus mirrors older than 48 hours use bounded official API refreshes on demand, cached for up to 24 hours. Bulk snapshots are not automatically reimported by the daily cleanup task. Always inspect the source snapshot date. An ingestion timestamp is when O Trucking loaded a file, not when the underlying carrier record was last verified. FMCSA Licensing & Insurance remains the verification destination for current authority and insurance.
