How often FMCSA data updates
Register, L&I, Census and SMS cadences, and how CarrierDaily compares them.
What the public record shows
- The FMCSA Register publishes authority actions each business day; L&I insurance filings post as insurers file; the Census changes as carriers update the MCS-150; SMS inspection data refreshes monthly.
- CarrierDaily reads the public files daily and timestamps every page and receipt with the as-of date of the data it compared.
Today's numbers

Questions
Why does a page show yesterday's date?
Because that is the newest FMCSA publication it reflects; the as-of line is the honest date, not the page's render time.
Data reflects official public records published by the U.S. Department of Transportation (FMCSA) as of Oct 25, 2026 11:58 MDT. CarrierDaily provides factual public-record change monitoring and is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
