Build a US carrier list by state and fleet size

Example: Texas carriers with 21–100 power units

These filters apply to the table, free sample and list builder. Change the filters.

Start with a carrier list for your territory

Choose a starting list, adjust the filters and check the matching rows before buying the CSV.

• Texas carriers with 21–100 power units. Start with a state and fleet-size band, then narrow by city or cargo.
• California carriers carrying general freight. Cargo is a reported category, not proof of a current route or available capacity.
• Carriers based in Chicago, Illinois. State and city describe the registered physical address, not the territory served.

For fleet-service research, compare the reported power units, drivers and cargo with the businesses you serve. Physical address describes where a carrier is registered, not where it runs routes. Active registrations can include private fleets and bus operators.

The free preview and paid CSV have the same public columns. Inspect missing values and the import date in your sample. For the original national file, file-splitting choices and worksheet limits, see the FMCSA census download and Excel guide.

Build a carrier shortlist

Use a dated Texas sample to check fleet and location filters, then try the assistant prompt or API code. Open the worked example.

Or pull it straight into your code or your agent

# Claude Code (one line; other clients on /agents)
claude mcp add --transport http datascoop https://datascoop.io/mcp \

# Your agent then calls

Fields in the CSV

Organisational fields only. No personal contact lists.

The preview and paid CSV use these same public columns. A populated column is not a guarantee that every record has a value. Check the free sample for your chosen filters.
