Active and Pending Insurance Policies for Motor Carriers

Daily difference data tracks implementation dates for active or pending insurance policies held by motor carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders. The dataset includes insurance company names, BI&PD underlying and maximum limit amounts, and DOT and docket numbers for policyholders. It is maintained by the Department of Transportation and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of BI&PD underlying limit and maximum limit amounts across different insurance companies.
• Track policy status changes by comparing posted date, effective date, and cancel effective date for specific DOT numbers.
• Identify carriers with active policies on a given date by filtering on effective date and cancel effective date fields.
• Correlate insurance policy data with other carrier registration statuses using the common DOT number identifier.

Strengths
