More about this list
The raw federal file holds 4,496,613 registered entities; 2,234,805 are active; 1,978,800 have a US address and at least one truck — and 87% of those run one to four trucks and will never buy fleet software, factoring or a national insurance program. Cutting to five or more leaves 248,345 real businesses, of which 50,630 run twenty or more and 8,609 run a hundred or more. Each record carries the DOT number, the MC docket where one exists, fleet size, driver count, cargo types, hazmat authority, safety rating, the physical address, phone and email. Email coverage is 88.8% and those addresses are 95.6% unique, which is unusually good for a B2B file of this size. Insurers, factoring companies, fuel card and telematics providers, load boards, ELD vendors and equipment finance all sell into exactly this list.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the US Trucking Companies (5+ Trucks) and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=trucking-company-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.
Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.
How assistants ask
No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.
If a question needs filtering, distance, drive time, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.
Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>
Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&drive=<minutes>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>
Leave out what the question does not need. Use radius for straight-line miles or drive for minutes of driving (5 to 60), not both; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.
Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:
- Only rows where powerUnits is over 10: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=trucking-company-list&where=powerUnits%3Agt%3A10
- The whole list: add a city, state, ZIP code or distance:
https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=trucking-company-list
Optional: connect for repeat use or wallet payments:
Read https://locationlists.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to connect LocationLists. Then show me the US Trucking Companies (5+ Trucks) list.Your assistant will walk you through setup and show you the price before you pay.
For developers
Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=trucking-company-list with the same filters as query parameters.
- Connect your agent to
https://locationlists.com/mcp(no key, no signup). - Call
count_locationswithdataset: "trucking-company-list"and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost. - Fetch the rows with
query_locations: $0.17 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 124,173 rows, buying the whole file is cheaper.
Paid in USDC over x402 — the agent gets an HTTP 402 with the exact price, signs, and retries. Money moves only after rows are delivered, so a failed or empty query costs nothing. Setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code
?Frequently Asked Questions
How many Trucking Companies (5+ Trucks) are there in the US?
There are 248,345 Trucking Companies (5+ Trucks) in the US as of September 2026. They are in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. California has the most, with 21,692.
What does 'active' actually mean here?
It means the carrier's census registration is active with the federal regulator. It is not proof of current operating authority and not proof of insurance — a carrier can be census-active with revoked authority. If you need authority status specifically, that is a different federal file and we can join it for you.
How current are the fleet sizes?
File built on September 15, 2026. It is not on an automatic refresh schedule, so check the build date above before you buy.
Why is there a fleetSizeSuspect column?
Because the regulator does not validate self-reported fleet size and a small number of carriers have filed nonsense — one California towing company reported 2,099,979 trucks. Roughly 1,200 rows claim 5,000+ trucks with fewer than a tenth as many drivers. We ship the federal value as filed rather than rewriting it, and flag it so anyone sorting by fleet size can exclude the garbage in one filter.
