The Jacksonville carrier base in numbers

Reading the Jacksonville figures

Single-truck operators make up 73% of carriers here, above the 64% national share, with a further 23% running two to ten units.

1,114 of the local carriers, 17% of the base, took their registration out in 2025 or later, above the national figure of 12%. Many carriers first registered in 2025 or later may still be within FMCSA’s New Entrant Safety Assurance Program, depending on their registration date and status. New-entrant carriers are subject to FMCSA’s safety-audit and corrective-action process.

Of the carriers registered here, 2,564 (40%) are carrying an MCS-150 older than 24 months, which is close to the national rate of 38%. That filing is required on the applicable biennial cycle even when nothing about the business has changed. An outdated or inactive USDOT record can also create issues with brokers, shippers, insurers and other counterparties.
