Answers · FMCSA carrier authority
What happens when a motor carrier is suspended?
A suspension notice starts a statutory 30-day clock from the serve date. The carrier files insurance inside that window or loses operating authority on the order's effective date. FMCSA publishes the order before that date in 99.7% of cases, measured across 3,681 June 2026 orders in dataset wb4f-neki on 2026-07-28.
The clock is the whole story. An order read on the day it publishes carries most of its 30 days; the same order read three weeks later carries whatever is left, which is why delayed copies of this data are worth less than live ones.
What share of served carriers cure the suspension in time is not published here. It has not been sampled against the records, so there is no figure for it.

Caveat. The 30-day window is the statutory term, not a measured average of how long carriers actually take.
