North Carolina ranks in the top ten states for for-hire trucking companies (number 8). About 54,000 trucking companies of every kind are registered in North Carolina, including private fleets and intrastate-only carriers. The for-hire carriers with interstate authority are the core of the commercial auto market: they must keep liability coverage on file, so every cancellation and every new authority is visible.

90% of North Carolina's for-hire carriers run five power units or fewer. That is the owner-operator and small-fleet market, where accounts change agents most often.

|---|---|
| 1 truck | 63% |
| 2-5 trucks | 27% |
