FMCSA’s Company Census file updated October 31, 2026 lists legal name RL METALS, doing business as BRAND RECYCLING, USDOT 869410, at 405 E ALABAMA ST, PLANT CITY, FL 33563. The census record status is A (Active). Its recorded MCS-150 form date is 2023-09-26. This is a matched entity-registration record, not proof of site ownership, current operating authority, recycling permits or customer services. Source: https://data.transportation.gov/Trucking-and-Motorcoaches/Company-Census-File/az4n-8mr2
What fleet and driver figures are reported in the matched FMCSA entity record?
The active FMCSA census row for RL METALS (USDOT 869410) reports 4 power units, 4 trucks, 3 drivers. Its recorded MCS-150 form date is 2023-09-26; that is a form date, not independent confirmation that each count was measured on that date. The file snapshot was updated October 31, 2026. These are reported totals for the registered entity, which can cover multiple yards or operations; they are not equipment kept at this listing, total employees, verified current fleet size or available hauling capacity. Power-unit and truck counts overlap and must not be added together. Source: https://data.transportation.gov/Trucking-and-Motorcoaches/Company-Census-File/az4n-8mr2
What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?
FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 4 reviewed records matching USDOT 869410 and the current registered legal/DBA name for RL METALS, dated 2024-03-07 through 2025-06-25. 3 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 1 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 4 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 1; these are reported inspection-level counts. This is the observed subset of a three-year file, not a lifetime total. The history concerns the registered carrier’s vehicles/operations, not inspections of this recycling facility. An out-of-service violation at an inspection does not establish a current carrier-wide shutdown or present safety status.

Codes, descriptions and indicators are reproduced from the linked inspection records. The companion detail-row count can differ from inspection-level totals and is not used to recompute them. Component totals are not added together. These are historical recorded inspection entries, not court findings, a current violation determination or a carrier safety rating.
