What fleet and driver figures are reported in the matched FMCSA entity record?

Its recorded MCS-150 form date is 2026-01-19; that is a form date, not independent confirmation that each count was measured on that date. The file snapshot was updated October 31, 2026.

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 3 reviewed records matching USDOT 3033368 and the current registered legal/DBA name for WESTSIDE RECYCLING LLC, dated 2024-09-23 through 2025-05-01. 2 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.
