248,345 active US trucking companies operating five or more trucks, filtered out of the federal motor carrier census. The filtering is the product. 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.

The file has all 248,345 locations across 52 states in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.

## Questions

### 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.

### How is this data cleaned?

Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt September 15, 2026 from safer.fmcsa.dot.gov: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (September 15, 2026). Unified 4,443 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (September 15, 2026). Corrected 1,578 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (September 15, 2026). Removed the second copy of 178 street addresses that were typed twice in the same field (September 15, 2026). Added map coordinates to 248,016 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (September 15, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 248,016 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (September 15, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 0 points that fell outside that state (September 15, 2026). Flagged 2,539 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (September 15, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (September 15, 2026).

### Isn't this free on safer.fmcsa.dot.gov?

The underlying records are public on safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: unified 4,443 city spellings, corrected 1,578 misspelled city names, fixed 178 doubled addresses, added coordinates to 248,016 listings, added the county to 248,016 listings, flagged 2,539 incomplete addresses and measured 248,345 rows. The current file was rebuilt September 15, 2026 from safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates.

### How complete is each field?

Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: email 89%, phone 100%, street address 100%, city 100%, state 100%, ZIP code 100%, latitude 100%, longitude 100%. 24 of 28 columns are filled on at least half the rows.
