How many trucking companies are in Wisconsin?

7,585 motor carriers have registered in Wisconsin on the public FMCSA Company Census since January 2024, the 16th-most of any state. That is a cumulative registration count — a carrier first appearing on the register — not a count of currently active authorities, and some later go inactive.

What kind of freight do Wisconsin carriers haul?

Among the cargo classes HaulReport tracks, Wisconsin carriers most often report grain, feed & hay (11,377), logs, poles, beams & lumber (7,411), motor vehicles (auto transport) (4,812). Cargo classes are self-reported on the registration and can overlap, so a carrier may appear under more than one type.

Is "inactive" the same as going out of business?

No. "Inactive" reflects a change in public FMCSA registration/authority status — a lapsed biennial MCS-150, administrative deactivation, merger, or genuine exit — and some carriers later reactivate. We never report it as a confirmed business closure.

Where does this data come from and how current is it?

Public FMCSA records (Company Census dataset az4n-8mr2, plus the crash and operating-authority registers). HaulReport aggregates the register and compares daily snapshots, beginning Jun 12, 2026. The live activity figures appear once they accrue state-level volume. These are registration records, not safety ratings or official FMCSA statistics.

How HaulReport measures this

HaulReport aggregates the public FMCSA Company Census and captures daily snapshots of the registration, crash, and operating-authority registers, counting the differences by state. The “registered since 2024” figure is a cumulative count of carriers first appearing on the register in Wisconsin; the live activity figures cover the 30-day window since Jun 12, 2026. Cargo classes come from the carrier's self-reported registration flags and can overlap. Because these are public registration databases, they reflect filing activity, not operational outcomes, and can lag real-world events. See methodology and data sources.
