Verified Oct 30, 2026 against FMCSA Company Census File (data.transportation.gov)

Tyson Foods Inc (USDOT 3327, MC-145655), doing business as Tyson, is an active motor carrier based in Springdale, Arkansas 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: 5,861 power units and 3,136 drivers (3,136 with CDLs). Power units count straight trucks as well as tractors, so they can exceed the tractor count. Its MCS-150 of November 7, 2025 reports 208,965,392 miles and gives 2025, the year it was filed, as the mileage year, so the figure is not a full calendar year's total. Cargo classes declared: chemicals, liquids / gases, general freight, intermodal containers, machinery, large objects, agricultural / farm supplies, grain, feed, hay, refrigerated food, fresh produce, beverages, paper products, drive / tow away, livestock, meat, passengers, other cargo (other: Offal). It is also classified as a private carrier of its own goods. FMCSA safety rating: satisfactory, from a compliance review on October 15, 2002, 24 years ago; it reflects that review, not current performance. In the last 24 months it had 3,041 roadside inspections, 254 of them (8.4%) with an out-of-service order; 6 hazmat inspections; 217 reportable crashes (15 deaths, 103 injuries); a crash on record does not by itself mean the carrier caused it. Registration (MCS-150) last updated November 7, 2025.

Key facts

Fleet size	500+ power units Power units, banded. source, unchanged since Oct 25, 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, unchanged since Oct 25, 2026
Rating age	Rating over 10 years old How old the FMCSA safety rating is. A rating reflects one compliance review on that date, not current performance; old ratings say little about the carrier today. source, unchanged since Oct 25, 2026
Registration update overdue	No Yes means the MCS-150 was last updated more than two years ago, past FMCSA's two-year update requirement; fleet, driver and cargo figures may then be out of date. source, unchanged since Oct 25, 2026

Reportable crashes (24 months)	217 Crashes involving the carrier's vehicles that met FMCSA's reporting threshold (a death, an injury treated away from the scene, or a vehicle towed away) in the last 24 months.

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.
