What stands out
Fresno is the largest trucking hub in California by number of registered carriers, with 4117 companies that make up 7.3% of the state's 56277. What sets it apart is how small the typical operation is. Some 2665 carriers, or 65%, run a single truck, and 95% operate fewer than 10, which pulls the average fleet down to 2.9 trucks against 3.5 across California. Only 18 carriers report 50 or more trucks, and the three largest listed, B&B Transport Inc., Professional Courier & Newspaper Distribution and Us Carrier Inc., together account for about 4% of the trucks reported in the city. That spread points to a market built mostly from owner-operators and small fleets rather than a few dominant employers. General freight is by far the most common cargo type, reported by 4096 carriers, and 46 carriers report hauling hazardous materials.

About this data
This post is compiled by the America’s Driving Force team from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Census, a public U.S. Department of Transportation dataset, retrieved September 29, 2026. Carriers are counted by the physical address on their federal record, so a national carrier appears under its home state. Truck and driver counts and cargo types are self-reported. School bus, waste, towing, taxi and limousine operators, railroads and truck-rental fleets are excluded, and the table above shows companies whose names indicate a transportation business.
