Our data
Contribution: derived analysis, downloadable dataset
- Collected: every active for-hire record in the FMCSA Company Census File with a physical address in Irving, Texas whose MCS-150 filing lists the cargo classes this page counts: 140 carriers, pulled November 9, 2026. Verified carriers are joined to FMCSA L&I (authority, insurance) and SMS (inspections) by USDOT number.
- Published: 18 aggregate counts; the carrier-level records stay on the official FMCSA source and on each carrier's profile.
- Computed: 11 derived shares, each a dataset row with its formula and arithmetic.
- Method: for-hire carriers (the census classification says for hire) that list the cargo class Refrigerated food / meat. The census file publishes Refrigerated Food and Meat as two columns with identical values in all 218,538 Texas and Utah records, so HaulAtlas reports them as one category. FMCSA records cargo classes, not trailer types. A verified carrier has a HaulAtlas profile that passes the profile index threshold: active in the census, an MCS-150 update in the last 24 months, and at least one record checked against FMCSA in the last 60 days (operating authority with an MC number, insurance on file, or roadside inspections). Verified means the records match; it is not a safety rating. Methodology.
