What MERLE FETZER’s FMCSA record shows
Each field from the public registration, and what it means when you’re vetting this carrier.
- USDOT number 286278
- The USDOT number is FMCSA's permanent ID for this company. It never changes, even when the business renames, moves, or changes owners, so it's the most reliable way to identify MERLE FETZER.
- MC number None on file
- No MC number is on file. That's normal for private fleets hauling their own goods and for intrastate-only carriers, but a company with no MC number can't legally haul regulated interstate freight for hire.
- Operating status Inactive
- FMCSA lists this USDOT number as inactive. Inactive carriers shouldn't be dispatched; confirm the company has reactivated before booking a load.
- Operation type Interstate
- Interstate carriers can haul freight across state lines and fall under the full federal safety rules (FMCSRs).
- Fleet size 0 power units
- MERLE FETZER reports no trucks or tractors on its MCS-150 filing. A registration with no equipment is often dormant, so confirm the company is actually operating before booking a load.
- Last MCS-150 update Jul 31, 2001
- The MCS-150 is the registration form where carriers report their address, fleet size, and operations. MERLE FETZER last filed it on Jul 31, 2001. That's more than ten years old, so the company details here are essentially unverified.
