Broker Authority Watch

Freight Sector Inc

Source note: Legacy dates conflict: FMCSA's refresh metadata says May 14, 2026, while the maximum action date across all legacy history is May 15, 2026. The source does not explain why. The latter is a dataset maximum, not a per-record freshness check; current authority and filings are unconfirmed.

As of Oct 21, 2026, Freight Sector Inc in Austin, Texas has last-known broker authority status “Active” in the legacy file last refreshed May 14, 2026; current authority is unconfirmed.

Verified Oct 21, 2026 against FMCSA Licensing & Insurance: Motus and legacy L&I files (data.transportation.gov)

Freight Sector Inc (MC1816048, USDOT 4566938) is listed as a property broker in FMCSA's retired legacy file. Last-known authority status: active. FMCSA says the file was last refreshed May 14, 2026; the latest legacy action across the collected history is May 15, 2026. The metadata refresh date and row action dates are different source fields; FMCSA does not explain why an action date can be later than the stated refresh date. There is no matching Motus authority row in this collection, so this is not confirmation of current authority, contact details or financial filings. Dated history and source links follow.
