Registration data from the FMCSA Company Census File (MCS-150), the federal filing every active interstate and intrastate-for-hire motor carrier submits. A record here is one USDOT number, not one truck.
The carriers are grouped below by county, by the cargo they report, by operating authority, by safety rating and by fleet size, and the 878 cities with three or more registered carriers are listed at the foot of the page.
