Merkel out-of-service rates vs. national average
How to shortlist carriers recorded in Merkel
The installed records report 285 power units across 56 carrier identities. 7 have recorded inspections; 49 have none in this dataset. No inspections is not a clean safety record.
Record imports range from 2026-03-13 to 2026-10-18. These are our import dates, not the dates of each underlying inspection or a live authority check. The city is the reported physical address; crashes and inspections can occur elsewhere.
- Open the exact USDOT profile; match its legal name and MC number with your counterparty documents.
- Check the operating status, source dates and available public insurance filings. A fleet count or low inspection rate does not establish suitability.
- Confirm current authority and insurance against the official records and the insurer before contracting.
The OOS figures below are unweighted means of available carrier rates, not a pooled inspection rate. The national reference was checked on 4 August 2026; populations and periods can differ. Do not interpret the difference as a city safety ranking.
