What this FMCSA record shows
- Next biennial MCS-150 update due: February 2027 (set by USDOT 451372's last two digits under 49 CFR 390.19). Last update filed June 28, 2024. 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 July 1991, about 35 years ago, so it is past the 18-month new-entrant period.
- Reported 479,369 fleet miles in 2023, about 22,800 miles per power unit.
- 129 other USDOT registrations list Wellsville, NY as their physical address.
