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.
How to read this: FMCSA inspection records show which carrier operated the vehicle on a given date, not the legal owner. A single change may reflect a sale, sublease, or fleet reassignment.
| Approximate date | From carrier | To carrier |
|---|---|---|
| Between Aug 4, 2025 and Nov 5, 2025 | EXX AUTO TRANSPORT LLC | ESGIE THREADS LLC |
| Between Nov 5, 2025 and Jan 28, 2026 | ESGIE THREADS LLC | EXX AUTO TRANSPORT LLC |
| Between Jan 28, 2026 and Sep 16, 2026 | EXX AUTO TRANSPORT LLC | ELITE TOWING & LOGISTICS 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.
