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 May 14, 2023 and Jan 29, 2025 | EXPERT TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS INC | SEGA MOTORS INC |
| Between Feb 18, 2025 and Mar 27, 2025 | SEGA MOTORS INC | ASTARS MOTORS INC |
| Between Jan 22, 2026 and Apr 21, 2026 | ASTARS MOTORS INC | PK LOGISTIX LLC |
| Between Apr 21, 2026 and Jun 25, 2026 | PK LOGISTIX LLC | UNITRANSPORT 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.
