Always a great time when I go there they unload fast and help unstrap the load. The lady in the office is very helpful. So far I have no complaints.

Review

Their staff are dishonest and their service is very poor. When I called they said they would collect the refrigerator and asked me to weigh it and pay for it. Then I took it in and talked to them but they put the refrigerator down before weighing it. They also said if they didn't collect the refrigerator I could ask at another place eventually they didn't do anything. They already dropped the refrigerator and they knows I won’t take the refrigerator back I got really bad Experience.

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 4 reviewed records matching USDOT 3359183 and the current registered legal/DBA name for DAKOTA RECYCLING AND TRANSPORT LLC, dated 2023-11-15 through 2026-04-06. 3 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 2 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 17 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 6; 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.
