Trucking Companies Going Inactive

Motor carriers whose FMCSA Company Census operating status just changed from Active to Inactive, updated daily from public records. 11,103 carriers went inactive in the last 30 days, 1,515 in the past week (3,036 others reactivated). Each links to the carrier's full HaulReport profile.

What “inactive” means. Inactive is an FMCSA registration status, not a confirmed business closure. A carrier goes inactive when it stops maintaining its federal registration — most often a lapsed biennial MCS-150 update or an administrative deactivation, but also mergers or genuine exits — and some later reactivate. For the big-picture totals, see how many trucking companies have gone out of business.

Carrier activity detected by HaulReport's daily FMCSA difference capture (carrier_delta_event) against public FMCSA records. These are registration and authority records, not safety ratings. Latest capture Sep 21, 2026. See our methodology and data sources. An inactive operating status is a registration record, not proof a business has closed. States with only a few inactivations this period are not listed separately until they accrue more.
