What JOE W SMITH’s FMCSA record shows

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

USDOT number 53863: 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 JOE W 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.
Operation type Interstate: Interstate carriers can haul freight across state lines and fall under the full federal safety rules (FMCSRs).
Fleet size 2 power units, 3 drivers: JOE W SMITH self-reports 2 power units (trucks and tractors), which makes it a small fleet. Fleet counts come from the carrier's own MCS-150 filing and aren't independently audited.
