What this FMCSA record shows

  • Next biennial MCS-150 update due: April 2027 (set by USDOT 874's last two digits under 49 CFR 390.19). Last update filed April 9, 2005. 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.
  • Reported 80,000 fleet miles in 2002, about 80,000 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.
  • 86 other USDOT registrations list Britton, SD as their physical address.

Is Niesen Truck Line INC 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.

Our read on this carrier
Not Enough Public Data
There is very little public FMCSA record for this carrier, so we can't assess it either way. Treat this as unknown, not as a clean record, and verify authority and insurance directly with the FMCSA.
✓ Looks fine ! Worth checking × A real concern
Not on any U.S. sanctions list
This carrier's name doesn't appear on the U.S. Treasury sanctions blocklist — clear to work with on that basis.
Licensed and authorized to operate
The FMCSA lists this carrier as having active operating authority right now.
No history of a revoked license
This carrier's operating authority has not been revoked and re-registered.

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.
