Is NORTHSTATE EXPRESS LLC authorized by FMCSA?
Yes: Motor Carrier of Passengers is Active, granted or reinstated 2 days ago (2026-10-29). That is inside the 90-day post-approval window, the period in which the public record shows most contact and name changes; the score carries a 10-point deduction until it passes.

Yes. The current liability filing names National Indemnity Company of the South with an effective date of 2026-10-13; $5,000,000 is on file against $5,000,000 required. A BMC-35 cancellation notice would appear here 30 days before it takes effect.
How does NORTHSTATE EXPRESS LLC compare on roadside inspections?
FMCSA SMS lists no roadside inspections for this carrier in the last 24 months, so no out-of-service rate can be computed; that is common for new or small fleets and is not itself a signal.
Does NORTHSTATE EXPRESS LLC share identifiers with other DOT records?
5 other DOT records share a phone, address, email or officer name, none of them with a revoked authority or cancellation. Shared identifiers are common among affiliated companies and registered agents.
What changed in the last 90 days?
2 changes to the public record, the latest on 2026-10-31. Contact or name changes shortly after a grant are the pattern FMCSA and GAO associate with reincarnated carriers, so each one is dated on the receipt.
What does the Trust Signal Score say about NORTHSTATE EXPRESS LLC?
60 / 100, Amber: at least one deduction applies (a new authority, a recent change, a shared identifier or an inspection rate above average). Each deduction is a dated line on the receipt; verify the one that matters for your load.
