What CHEROKEE SMITH’s FMCSA record shows
Each field from the public registration, and what it means when you’re vetting this carrier.
- USDOT number 1420498
- 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 CHEROKEE SMITH.
- 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.
- Fleet size 0 power units
- CHEROKEE SMITH reports no trucks or tractors on its MCS-150 filing. A registration with no equipment is often dormant, so confirm the company is actually operating before booking a load.
- Last MCS-150 update Sep 28, 2005
- The MCS-150 is the registration form where carriers report their address, fleet size, and operations. CHEROKEE SMITH last filed it on Sep 28, 2005. That's more than ten years old, so the company details here are essentially unverified.
