Tennessee ranks number 17 of 51 for for-hire trucking companies. About 26,000 trucking companies of every kind are registered in Tennessee, 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.
Fleet sizes: mostly small accounts
86% of Tennessee'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.
| Power units | Share of for-hire carriers |
|---|---|
| 1 truck | 58% |
| 2-5 trucks | 28% |
| 6-20 trucks | 9% |
| 21+ trucks | 5% |
