Nichols Aluminum

What this FMCSA record shows

• Next biennial MCS-150 update due: March 2028 (set by USDOT 803's last two digits under 49 CFR 390.19). Last update filed March 9, 2010. 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.
• 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.
• 18 other USDOT registrations list Prairie View, IL as their physical address.

Is Nichols Aluminum Legitimate? Safety & Fraud Check

A quick, plain-English check of whether this carrier looks safe and legitimate to hire — based on public government records. It's a screening aid, not a guarantee.

These checks use public U.S. government records — the carrier's license status, safety-inspection and crash history, ownership links, and the U.S. Treasury sanctions list — refreshed automatically. A flag doesn't prove wrongdoing; it's a prompt to verify before you do business.
