Verified Oct 22, 2026 against FMCSA Company Census File (data.transportation.gov)

Morris O Nelson & Sons Inc (USDOT 11064, MC-231689), doing business as Nelson Brothers Trucking Inc, is an active motor carrier based in Springfield, Oregon that FMCSA's census classifies as for-hire and that declares hazardous materials on its MCS-150. Operation: interstate. Operating authority: active for-hire authority (MC). Fleet: 129 power units and 84 drivers (84 with CDLs). Power units count straight trucks as well as tractors, so they can exceed the tractor count. It reported 5,103,989 miles for 2025 on its MCS-150. Cargo classes declared: oilfield equipment, garbage / refuse, dry bulk commodities, general freight, intermodal containers, building materials, construction, machinery, large objects, metal: sheets, coils, rolls, logs, poles, beams, lumber, agricultural / farm supplies, grain, feed, hay, refrigerated food, fresh produce, beverages, paper products, utilities, coal / coke, motor vehicles, drive / tow away, livestock, meat. FMCSA safety rating: satisfactory, from a compliance review on March 24, 2011, 16 years ago; it reflects that review, not current performance. In the last 24 months it had 48 roadside inspections, 15 of them (31.2%) with an out-of-service order; 3 reportable crashes (0 deaths, 1 injury); a crash on record does not by itself mean the carrier caused it. Registration (MCS-150) last updated May 6, 2026.

FMCSA safety rating	Satisfactory Satisfactory, Conditional or Unsatisfactory after an FMCSA compliance review; most carriers have never had one and are not rated. source

USDOT number: The registration number every interstate (and many intrastate) commercial carrier holds.

MCS-150: The registration form carriers file with FMCSA and must update at least every two years; fleet, drivers, cargo and the hazmat flag on this site come from it, as the carrier declared them.

Safety rating: FMCSA's result after an on-site compliance review: Satisfactory, Conditional or Unsatisfactory. A rating is not refreshed unless FMCSA reviews the carrier again, so many are years old; each profile gives the review date. Most carriers have never been reviewed and are not rated; that is not a bad mark.

Power units: Trucks and tractors that pull or carry freight.

Reportable crash: A crash involving the carrier's vehicle with a death, an injury treated away from the scene or a vehicle towed away. FMCSA records it whoever was at fault.

Cargo classes: Self-declared on the MCS-150 from FMCSA's fixed list. Some carriers tick most of the list, so a long list means 'declared', not 'specialises in'; the hazmat flag does not say which hazardous materials.
