Using this report
Use the state lists to identify territories to investigate and the fleet mix to refine your prospecting filters. A first observation does not establish the carrier's formation date, an authority grant, or an unmet need for your service.
Counts use distinct USDOT numbers. The same business may hold more than one USDOT. The initial baseline emits no new-carrier events; days before monitoring began and missing source days are excluded.
