New motor carrier registrations methodology
Entities newly added to the FMCSA motor carrier census (for-hire carriers, private fleets and other registrants), with fleet size and operation type.
UpdatedSource
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration: motor carrier census and operating authority.
Unit of record
One row per registration, dated by when the authority recorded it, placed by the locality it names.
Update cadence
Daily. Each page shows the date its data last changed.
Company matching
Records are linked to a company on registration numbers, government identifiers, addresses and domains, never on a similar name alone. Records about individuals are not named on public pages.
Coverage
Known limits
Coverage depends on what each authority publishes and when. Some records cannot be linked to a company with confidence and are shown without one. Values are as declared by the filer.
