What COLONIAL FREIGHT SYSTEMS INC’s FMCSA record shows

Each field from the public registration, and what it means when you’re vetting this carrier.

USDOT number 105854
The USDOT number is FMCSA's permanent ID for this company. It never changes, even when the business renames, moves, or changes owners, so it's the most reliable way to identify COLONIAL FREIGHT SYSTEMS INC.
MC number None on file
No MC number is on file. That's normal for private fleets hauling their own goods and for intrastate-only carriers, but a company with no MC number can't legally haul regulated interstate freight for hire.
Operating status Inactive
FMCSA lists this USDOT number as inactive. Inactive carriers shouldn't be dispatched; confirm the company has reactivated before booking a load.
Operation type Interstate
Interstate carriers can haul freight across state lines and fall under the full federal safety rules (FMCSRs).
Fleet size 250 power units, 260 drivers
COLONIAL FREIGHT SYSTEMS INC self-reports 250 power units (trucks and tractors), which makes it a large fleet. Fleet counts come from the carrier's own MCS-150 filing and aren't independently audited.
Last MCS-150 update Nov 15, 2022
The MCS-150 is the registration form where carriers report their address, fleet size, and operations. COLONIAL FREIGHT SYSTEMS INC last filed it on Nov 15, 2022. That's past FMCSA's two-year update requirement. Confirm the address, phone, and fleet size directly.
