What this FMCSA record shows
- Next biennial MCS-150 update due: September 2028 (set by USDOT 13949's last two digits under 49 CFR 390.19). Last update filed September 15, 2006. That is more than two years ago, so this filing may be overdue; FMCSA can deactivate a USDOT number that misses its biennial update.
- Registered with FMCSA in June 1974, about 52 years ago, so it is past the 18-month new-entrant period.
- Only 1 roadside inspection in the last 24 months, which is too few for its out-of-service rates to be statistically meaningful.
- 14,195 other USDOT registrations list Brooklyn, NY as their physical address.

Out-of-Service Rates vs National Average
✓ Better than national average (-6.3%)
FMCSA rates vehicles on level 1, 2 and 5 inspections; this carrier has none in the current window, so no rate can be calculated.
Out-of-service rates follow FMCSA's definition: the share of relevant roadside inspections in which at least one out-of-service order was issued. Vehicle rates use level 1, 2 and 5 inspections; driver rates use level 1, 2, 3 and 6. National averages are computed from the same FMCSA inspection data.

Violation Breakdown
A single inspection can produce more than one out-of-service order, so this is a count of orders, not a rate. See the FMCSA vehicle and driver out-of-service rates in Safety Performance above.
