State-level weekly counts of new USDOT records in the FMCSA Company Census File (dataset az4n-8mr2 on data.transportation.gov). This repository republishes the same aggregate CSV that TruckerStack already serves at:
https://truckerstack.com/reports/2026-11-09-weekly-fmcsa-new-registrations.csv
The file contains no carrier names, addresses, phone numbers, or emails. Each row is a US jurisdiction (or a US-address total). A new USDOT record is not the same as a new MC operating authority.
This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) or the U.S. Department of Transportation. TruckerStack is an independent product of AK Digital Marketing LLC.
File: 2026-11-09-weekly-fmcsa-new-registrations.csv
The CSV has a header row, 53 jurisdiction rows, and a TOTAL_US_ADDRESS row. The jurisdictions are the 50 US states plus DC, Puerto Rico (PR), and Guam (GU). In this file, state_name is blank for PR, DC, and GU.
Date window (from the column names): 2026-10-12 through 2026-11-08. Weeks run Monday to Sunday, matching the add_date on the census record. The last week is labeled _partial in the column name.
US-address totals from the TOTAL_US_ADDRESS row:
| Week (Mon–Sun) | New USDOT records | For-hire class (same week) |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-12 to 2026-10-18 | 2772 | — |
| 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-25 | 2736 | — |
| 2026-10-26 to 2026-11-01 | 2833 | 2069 |
| 2026-11-02 to 2026-11-08 (partial) | 2083 | — |
The for-hire column in this file covers only the week of 2026-10-26 to 2026-11-01. The week of 2026-11-02 to 2026-11-08 is partial in the source extract.
For that last complete week (2026-10-26 to 2026-11-01), the three largest state counts in the file are Texas (TX) 344, California (CA) 270, and Florida (FL) 250.
The counts come from the FMCSA Company Census File (Socrata dataset az4n-8mr2), a public FMCSA open-data file. They are not from QCMobile and are not from the Motus authority-history files.
How the published CSV was built (see money4.py on the TruckerStack site build): a SoQL count(*) grouped by phy_state where add_date falls in the week and phy_country = 'US'; a second query adds classdef like '%AUTHORIZED FOR HIRE%'. The published report states that the census file was refreshed 2026-11-08 and queried 2026-11-09.

new_usdot_2026-11-02_to_11-08_partial |
Same measure for 2026-11-02 through 2026-11-08. The _partial suffix is in the header because that week was incomplete when the file was built. |
