What this FMCSA record shows
- Next biennial MCS-150 update due: July 2027 (set by USDOT 752537's last two digits under 49 CFR 390.19). Last update filed August 20, 2019. 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 1998, about 28 years ago, so it is past the 18-month new-entrant period.
- Reported 47,620 fleet miles in 2018, about 47,600 miles per power unit.
- No roadside inspections in the last 24 months. That is common for new, small or local carriers, but it also means there is no out-of-service rate to judge. Ask for a current certificate of insurance and confirm active authority before tendering a load.
- 100 other USDOT registrations list Farmington, ME as their physical address.
