Federal filings
Since May 1, 2026, 19,142 insurance cancellations took effect on FMCSA's records, 363 of them for dirt, rock and aggregate haulers. The number is low because most dump truck work is intrastate. A hauler without federal operating authority files no insurance with FMCSA; any required filing goes to the state, such as TxDMV in Texas, which HaulStanding also checks.

Time to reinstatement
When a cancellation takes effect with no replacement on file, FMCSA suspends the authority. Since Motus began on May 18, 7,668 authorities were suspended that way and 2,381 reinstated, a median of 19 days later. 593 came back within a week; 689 took more than 30 days.
For dirt, rock and aggregate haulers the sample is small: 121 suspended, 55 reinstated, median 22 days. The rest are still suspended or ended their authority.
Next steps
Until reinstatement, the hauler has no federal authority to haul for hire, and it may keep working anyway. The cancellation notice is public about 30 days before the suspension: the window to ask for the replacement. Put the haulers you hire on a HaulStanding watch list and get an alert the day the notice appears.
How we counted. FMCSA public tables on data.transportation.gov, counted October 13, 2026. "Dump truck haulers" are active for-hire carriers that describe their cargo as dirt, rock, aggregate, asphalt, frac sand or dump work, or whose name says the work. FMCSA does not record truck body type. How we define the groups. Motus covers filings changed since the May 18, 2026 cutover, so counts start then. Reinstatements are matched to suspensions on the same docket, leaving out FMCSA's corrections of its own migration error (Motus issue #220).
Public records as FMCSA publishes them, which can contain errors. Figures describe groups, not any one carrier. Not legal advice.
