Operator changes (inspection records)

When consecutive FMCSA inspections list different operating USDOT numbers for this VIN. Common after fleet transfers; can also reflect data-entry errors on rare tickets.

Approximate date From carrier To carrier
Between Nov 15, 2023 and Oct 2, 2026 GIL CHIPREZ MAGANA PD TRUCKING LLC

We say "Sale/auction not necessarily implied" — we see a change in operator USDOT in inspection records, which may indicate a sale, lease, or operational reassignment.
