The October new trucking authority report is out

Each month now gets its own report. October's is up: 6,566 new for-hire carriers got FMCSA authority during the month.

The October report breaks that number down by state and city, how long carriers waited from application to grant, what equipment they run, how big their fleets are and who insures them.

Once a month ends, its report is frozen. The numbers stay as they were published, so you can cite them, and any later correction gets a dated note. Each report also comes as a PDF and a Markdown file.
