What W A BROWN & SON’s FMCSA record shows
Each field from the public registration, and what it means when you’re vetting this carrier.
- USDOT number 97239
- 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 W A BROWN & SON.
- 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 1 power unit, 3 drivers
- W A BROWN & SON self-reports 1 power unit (trucks and tractors), which makes it an owner-operator. Fleet counts come from the carrier's own MCS-150 filing and aren't independently audited.
- Last MCS-150 update Sep 30, 2011
- The MCS-150 is the registration form where carriers report their address, fleet size, and operations. W A BROWN & SON last filed it on Sep 30, 2011. That's more than ten years old, so the company details here are essentially unverified.
