Industry Insights

Sources

• FMCSA — carrier registry, inspections, crashes, revocations, authority history (data.transportation.gov)
• U.S. Census Bureau — 2023 mid-year state population estimates

Latest source data: census 2026-08-14 , revocations 2026-05-13 , inspections 2026-08-13 , crashes 2026-08-11 , authority history 2517-09-22.

Data limitations

• Industry-wide crash totals understate reality by roughly 22%. About one in five crashes in the FMCSA source data can't be linked to a specific carrier, so they're excluded from per-carrier and per-state figures.
• The current month's crash count is preliminary. Police reports take 1-2 months to fully flow into FMCSA; recent values typically only reflect 50-70% of what eventually settles.
• Fleet sizes are self-reported. Power-unit counts come from each carrier's most-recent MCS-150 filing, capped at 100,000 per carrier on this page to keep one-off bad records from dominating the total.
• Pending-authority status is a snapshot. FMCSA's pending flags update with some lag and don't carry a "pending since" date in the public registry.
• Carrier classification flags (passenger, household goods, hazmat, private) come from the FMCSA census record and are also self-reported.

How this page is built

Every metric on this page is the result of a single SQL query against FMCSA's public registry, refreshed daily by our worker. State populations come from the U.S. Census Bureau. There are no forecasts, no ML models, and no external market indicators feeding this view — just FMCSA data, aggregated.
