Haul● U.S. Carrier Activity Monitor · Updated weekly
New trucking companies, tracked every week.
A live national view of who's entering and leaving the public FMCSA register — new carrier registrations, carriers marked inactive, and reactivations, refreshed every Monday and broken out by state. “Inactive” is a registration-status change, not a confirmed business closure.
Since monitoring began Jun 12, 2026 · 30-day window.

New registrations by week
New carrier registrations per ISO week (Mon–Sun). The most recent complete week is highlighted; the current week and any partially-observed week are shown lighter and dashed because they're still accruing — they never anchor a week-over-week claim. Latest complete week (Jun 15, 2026 – Jun 21, 2026): 3,556 registrations.
Where new carriers are registering
New registrations by the carrier's registered physical-address state, for the stated window. Formation concentrates in the largest freight and border states.

New registrations by operation type
How newly-registered carriers describe their operation on the FMCSA register. Interstate vs. intrastate is self-reported at registration and can change later.
Net registration flow this window
For the 30-day window, new registrations and reactivations together outweighed carriers marked inactive. A status change in the public record is a registration event; it does not confirm that a company has stopped operating. For the carrier-by-carrier feed, see carriers going inactive.

Carriers whose public-register status changed to inactive during the window, by state. These counts are far smaller than new registrations and spread thin — no single state shows a concentrated cluster. For a state ranking that lines up entries, exits, crashes and authority actions side by side, see trucking activity by state.

How HaulReport measures this
HaulReport captures a snapshot of the public FMCSA Company Census register each day and compares consecutive snapshots, counting the differences — new registrations, status changes, and reactivations — over a defined period. The figures here cover the 30-day window May 29, 2026 – Jun 27, 2026, with the weekly chart drawn from a deeper run of capture. Because the record is a public registration database, it reflects filing and registration activity, not operational outcomes: a status change is a record event, and registration data can lag real-world activity. For the carrier-by-carrier feeds, see new trucking companies and carriers going inactive; for method and sources, see methodology and data sources.
Frequently asked questions
- How many new trucking companies registered in the U.S. this week?
- The latest complete week on record shows 3,556 new carrier registrations. Across the 30-day window (May 29, 2026 – Jun 27, 2026), HaulReport's daily FMCSA difference capture recorded 8,732 carriers newly registered for U.S. operating authority. Figures are bound to the stated week or window and update as the capture advances.
- What does it mean when a carrier is listed as inactive?
- It means the carrier's status in the public FMCSA register changed to inactive during the window. That is a registration/authority-status change — it is not a determination that the company has ceased operating, filed for bankruptcy, or gone out of business. Carriers also move back to active: 993 were reactivated in the same window.
- How current is this, and when do week-over-week numbers appear?
- The monitor refreshes weekly from HaulReport's daily capture of the public FMCSA register, which began on Jun 12, 2026. Week-over-week change is shown only once two complete weeks have been observed, so we never publish a trend we can't verify.
- Where does this data come from?
- Public FMCSA Company Census records (dataset az4n-8mr2). HaulReport compares daily snapshots of the register and counts new registrations, status changes, and reactivations. We aggregate the public record; we do not set or verify the underlying registrations.
