Who is walking away right now
The insurers filing the most cancellation notices today. This is the part of the data nobody tallies: an insurer shedding a book shows up here as a concentration, and an agent seeing one name on a third of their leads is looking at a market exit rather than a run of unlucky carriers.

| Insurer | Filings | Share |
|---|---|---|
| GEICO MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY | 69 | 17.6% |
| ACCREDITED SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY | 32 | 8.1% |
| PEGASO RISK RETENTION GROUP, INC. | 32 | 8.1% |
| Southwind Risk Retention Group, Inc. | 17 | 4.3% |
| Motor Transport Mutual Risk Retention Group, Inc. | 17 | 4.3% |
| GEICO GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY | 15 | 3.8% |
| GEICO County Mutual Insurance Company | 14 | 3.6% |
| UNITED FINANCIAL CASUALTY COMPANY | 11 | 2.8% |
The three largest account for 33.8% of every pending cancellation on file. Counted by brand rather than by legal entity the concentration is higher still: 3 separate GEICO-branded insurers together file 24.9% of them.
Names are grouped case-insensitively — the federal registry carries the same company under several capitalisations, and counting those separately understates the leader. Distinct legal entities under one brand are not merged in the table; the brand total is stated alongside rather than substituted for them.

What this means for insurance agents
Every pending cancellation is a motor carrier that must replace coverage before its date or park its trucks — a buyer with a federal deadline and no incumbent agent defending the account. The states and insurers above show where that demand is concentrated this month. To work it, you need the filings the day they land. New to this?

Methodology
Source: public FMCSA / MOTUS insurance datasets on the U.S. DOT open-data portal, ingested daily. We count carriers whose insurer has filed a cancellation notice (required at least 30 days in advance under 49 CFR 387.313(d)) taking effect within the next 90 days. Figures are limited to covered states and business-entity carriers, matching what the product delivers, and are aggregate only — no individual carrier is identified. Longitudinal month-over-month trends will appear here as the daily feed accumulates history; today’s figures are a current snapshot as of the update date above.

A cancellation is one of the ways a carrier ends up needing a policy. The other is being new. We also publish how long a new trucking company takes to get insured after applying for operating authority — a gap nobody else measures, updated daily.
