QuestionPrimary fit
Business vehicle and fleet distribution

The non-contributory daily public Company Census API and full-file export cover FMCSA entities and document carrier operation, organisation class, geography, cargo, drivers, mileage, fleet size, power units, and owned and leased equipment. Aggregation answers fleet distributions for that regulated universe; it is not VIN/title ownership or all businesses.

QuestionPrimary fit
Organisation transport-operation profile

Company Census documents carrier-operation and organisation-class fields, hazardous-material indicator, cargo flags, and interstate or intrastate driver counts within and beyond 100 miles, with report and dataset-vintage pins.

QuestionPrimary fit
Organisation vehicle-fleet scale and composition

The daily API and full file expose fleet size, power units, equipment by owned and lease class, driver totals, and MCS-150 mileage, year, and report date. These are carrier-reported aggregates, not VIN or title ownership.

QuestionStrong fit
Organisation operating activity

The daily Company Census defines Active as currently in business and supplies MCS-150 date/mileage, operation class, fleet/driver totals, and dated review/safety facts. Retrieval and applicable report dates pin the answer; self-reported values are not independently observed.

QuestionStrong fit
Organisation recorded addresses

The daily Company Census supplies physical and mailing address components for USDOT-resolved organisations with retrieval vintage. They are regulator-recorded addresses, not proof of current operation or legal registered office.

QuestionStrong fit
Organisation recorded names and aliases

The daily public API and full file return legal and DBA names for USDOT-resolved organisations with retrieval vintage. This supports current names only, not exhaustive historical aliases.

QuestionStrong fit
Organisation safety rating and review history

The daily public Company Census includes carrier review type/date and safety rating/date for USDOT-resolved organisations.
