Find Trucking Companies for Your Freight

Start by identifying the equipment type your shipment requires — flatbed for oversized loads, reefer for temperature-sensitive goods, dry van for standard freight. Then filter by the carrier's service area, FMCSA safety rating, and insurance coverage. On CarrierSource, you can also read reviews from other shippers who've used each carrier to understand their reliability and communication.

LTL (less-than-truckload) combines shipments from multiple shippers on one truck, making it cost-effective for smaller loads — typically under 10,000 lbs. Full truckload (FTL) dedicates an entire trailer to your freight, offering faster transit and less handling. FTL is usually better for shipments over 10,000 lbs or when you need guaranteed delivery windows.

Every carrier profile on CarrierSource includes FMCSA data pulled directly from the federal database — including safety ratings, inspection results, crash history, and insurance status. You can also check a carrier's operating authority and MC/DOT number to confirm they're authorized to haul your type of freight.
