Frequently asked questions
About trucking companies in North Carolina
How many trucking companies are based in North Carolina?
FMCSA's census database lists 10,614 active motor carriers headquartered in North Carolina (NC) with at least 5 power units and a realistic driver-to-truck ratio. This page shows the top 100 ranked by fleet size; the full 10,614-carrier dataset is searchable on Carrier90.
What is the largest trucking company in North Carolina?
OLD DOMINION FREIGHT LINE INC (headquartered in THOMASVILLE) is the largest trucking company in North Carolina by fleet size, operating 10974 power units. View the full safety, insurance, and authority profile at https://c90.io/carrier/90849.
How are these trucking companies ranked?
Carriers are ranked by total power units (the count of self-propelled commercial vehicles in their fleet) as reported to FMCSA on Form MCS-150. Power units include tractors, straight trucks, and buses — but not trailers. We apply a quality filter that requires a driver-to-truck ratio between 0.3 and 5.0 to exclude obviously-erroneous self-reports (for example, 5,000 trucks with 0 drivers).
How is the Carrier90 trust score calculated?
The 0–100 trust score is computed from FMCSA data across five layers: (1) carrier type classification, (2) binary gates for hard rejections (revoked authority, no insurance, out-of-service), (3) confidence-weighted safety, crash, insurance, and authority signals, (4) chameleon-carrier cross-reference detection, and (5) decision floors that cap dangerously high ratings for carriers with red flags. Scores map to APPROVE (75–100), REVIEW (40–74), or REJECT (0–39).
Is this North Carolina carrier directory free to use?
Yes. All carrier lookups, trust scores, safety records, and chameleon-carrier risk flags on Carrier90 are free with no signup required. Paid tiers add carrier monitoring with email alerts, REST API access, and bulk exports.
