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. ## Does NORTHSTATE EXPRESS LLC have insurance on file? 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.
