A revocation pending status means FMCSA has started proceedings to revoke the company's operating authority. The most common causes are an insurance cancellation with no replacement filed, or a withdrawn BOC-3 process agent. Unpaid penalties and safety actions can also lead to revocation.
Should you book a carrier with a pending revocation?
The authority is still active until the revocation takes effect, but the carrier may lose it mid-haul, and the underlying cause (often lapsed insurance) is a direct risk to your load. Most broker policies treat a pending revocation as a hard stop until it's resolved.
