Texas has the second most for-hire trucking companies of any state. About 190,000 trucking companies of every kind are registered in Texas, 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
88% of Texas'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 | 62% |
| 2-5 trucks | 26% |
| 6-20 trucks | 9% |
| 21+ trucks | 4% |
Where Texas's carriers are based
The most for-hire carriers are based in Houston, Dallas, Laredo, El Paso and Fort Worth. A RigLeads list covers the whole state, and you can filter it by fleet size, cargo and operating radius.
