MICHAEL AVALOS
MICHAEL AVALOS (USDOT 1971447, MC834212) is an interstate motor carrier based in SAN MARCOS, TX, operating a fleet of 43 power units. FMCSA shows operating authority as active for Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods), granted 2013-08-02. The most recent primary liability filing was cancelled effective 2026-08-05 by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa, and no replacement filing is on record. Authority status and insurance status are held in separate FMCSA files and are not updated together, so an active authority line is not confirmation that coverage is on file. These figures are read from FMCSA Licensing & Insurance and SAFER on 2026-09-23; MC Sentry reports what is on file and does not rate or recommend carriers.
