FMCSA Closes Four Carrier and Training Dockets

So whatCarriers: a rescinded rejection does not restore operating authority—ADM Brothers, Slime Haulers and Axume Express still need an FMCSA Register notice and certificate before hauling.

FMCSA's Office of Registration moved to close three separate dockets involving motor carrier applications it had first rejected, then rescinded after the applicants appealed. ADM Brothers Trucking Corp. (Docket FMCSA-2026-2509), Slime Haulers LLC (FMCSA-2026-2377) and Axume Express LLC (FMCSA-2026-2344) each had operating-authority applications rejected earlier in 2026; in each case FMCSA later rescinded the rejection but said that action is not a grant of authority. The companies remain barred from for-hire interstate operations until FMCSA publishes notice in the FMCSA Register and issues a certificate, permit or license under 49 CFR part 365. The office asked the agency to close each docket because the appeal is now moot.

Separately, the Office of Safety Programs told FMCSA it reinstated ELDT Chimp, LLC to the Entry-Level Driver Training Provider Registry (Docket FMCSA-2026-3996) after the company took corrective action following an August 31 emergency removal. FMCSA had removed the provider for certifying ELDT completions for driver-trainees who failed English-language-proficiency checks. The office asked that the company's petition be dismissed as moot, or alternatively for a 30-day extension to file evidence if the motion is denied.
