This USDOT is inactive

FMCSA lists this carrier as inactive, which means it is not currently authorized to operate. Inactive does not mean the carrier never existed or that the historical data on this page is inaccurate. The record stays on USDOTwatch because brokers, insurers, and compliance teams still need to look up historical entities, audit past bookings, and trace predecessor carriers when reviewing related operations. See the methodology for how inactive records are handled.

Blocking Record Issue

There is a blocking issue on this exact carrier record that should be resolved before booking.

Six things go into this read of Brian Brown's record: operating authority, out-of-service status, insurance filings, safety rating, BASIC percentile scores, and MCS-150 freshness. Every one of them comes straight from the public FMCSA record. None of them tell you how the carrier handles damage claims or hits delivery windows, so always pull a fresh insurance certificate from the carrier and confirm rates and contact details on a current rate confirmation before you tender.

Out-of-service orders

Every out-of-service order FMCSA has issued against Brian Brown. An out-of-service order means FMCSA legally prohibited the carrier from operating commercial vehicles for a period, usually after an unsafe rating, missed civil-penalty payments, or a major safety event. Orders with a rescind date have been lifted and the carrier was reinstated. Orders without a rescind date are still in effect and the carrier cannot legally move freight under that authority right now.

Authority history

Every operating-authority action FMCSA has recorded against Brian Brown, sourced from the AuthHist public dataset.

Fleet profile

Owner-operator / very small (under 10 units)

Raw fleet counts only tell you so much about a carrier. A 100-truck fleet with 300 drivers is almost certainly running team or multi-shift over-the-road operations. A 100-truck fleet with 90 drivers is more likely owner-operators, regional, or local work. The ratios below are calculated from FMCSA fleet, mileage, and inspection data and show you how Brian Brown actually runs day to day. That helps you judge whether their capacity, utilization, and safety performance match the kind of load you're looking to tender.

Drivers per Power Unit

1.00

Roughly one driver per truck. Typical for regional or local fleets.

Crashes per 1,000 Units

0.0

Below industry average (3.2 per 1,000 units).

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions brokers and shippers ask about Brian Brown and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.

What is the USDOT number for Brian Brown?

Brian Brown is assigned USDOT number 2325151 by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This number uniquely identifies the carrier in federal safety records and is used to track inspections, crashes, compliance reviews, and operating authority over time.

What is the MC number for Brian Brown?

Brian Brown's MC number is 799169. The MC (Motor Carrier) number is the operating authority number issued by FMCSA, separate from the USDOT number. It authorizes the carrier to transport regulated commodities for hire in interstate commerce.

Is Brian Brown authorized to operate?

Brian Brown's current operating status is INACTIVE. They do not currently have a formal safety rating from FMCSA. Always verify operating authority and request a current insurance certificate before tendering loads.

What does it mean that Brian Brown is inactive?

An inactive operating status means Brian Brown's USDOT registration has lapsed, often because they failed to file the required biennial MCS-150 update or chose to deactivate their authority. Inactive carriers are not currently authorized to operate. Do not tender loads to inactive carriers without first verifying current authority directly with FMCSA.

How large is Brian Brown's fleet?

Brian Brown operates 1 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 1 drivers on their FMCSA MCS-150 form. Fleet figures are self-reported and updated biennially, so the live operational fleet may differ slightly.

Where is Brian Brown located?

Brian Brown is headquartered in Pleasantville, Pennsylvania at 479 Shields Hill Road. They operate in interstate commerce across state lines.

What does "Not Rated" mean?

"Not Rated" means FMCSA has not conducted a formal compliance review for this carrier. It does not indicate a safety problem on its own. The vast majority of registered carriers operate without a formal rating because compliance reviews are typically only triggered by elevated risk indicators, complaints, or scheduled audits. Use BASIC scores, inspection history, and crash records to evaluate unrated carriers.

How often is FMCSA data updated?

FMCSA refreshes carrier census data daily. Inspection and crash records are typically published within 30 days of the underlying event. Safety ratings and BASIC scores update on FMCSA's monthly cycle. The "last checked" timestamp at the bottom of this page shows when the most recent FMCSA poll happened.

Should I monitor Brian Brown for changes?

If you tender loads to Brian Brown regularly, monitoring is worth considering. Operating authority can lapse, insurance can drop, and safety ratings can change between bookings. Email alerts surface those changes the moment FMCSA publishes them, so you find out before your next load instead of after a problem on the road.

Where does this data come from?

All data on this page is sourced from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) via the DOT Open Data Portal. It includes the Company Census File, roadside inspection records, crash reports, and SMS/BASIC safety scores. Data is self-reported by carriers and updated regularly by FMCSA. For the authoritative single-source-of-truth record, cross-reference with FMCSA SAFER.
