Trucking in Ohio
Ohio is one of the most carrier-dense states in the Midwest, with I-70, I-71, and I-75 creating a freight crossroads. Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati each have large distribution center clusters. Key commodity flows: automotive parts (multiple OEM plants and Tier 1 suppliers), steel, plastics, and retail distribution.

- ✓ First year of hosting included, $150/yr after
- ✓ Your authority, insurance and equipment, presented properly
- ✓ Live in 5–7 business days. No contracts, no monthly fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many active trucking carriers operate in Ohio?
There are 46,694 active FMCSA-registered trucking carriers based in Ohio, across 1,517 cities.
How can I verify a Ohio trucking carrier is licensed and insured?
Every carrier listed on this page has an active FMCSA USDOT number. To verify operating authority, insurance, and safety record, check FMCSA SAFER (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx) using the carrier's DOT number. For broker authority and BIPD insurance status, use the FMCSA L&I Public Lookup (li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov). Cross-reference safety scores via the FMCSA SMS (ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS).
What is the typical fleet size of a Ohio trucking carrier?
Most US trucking carriers are small fleets — over 90% operate fewer than 6 trucks. Among the 46,694 active Ohio carriers, fleet sizes range from owner-operators with a single truck to large carriers with hundreds of power units. The top 100 by fleet size are listed above, sorted by reported power units.
Does Ohio have specific commercial vehicle regulations?
Federal Bridge Formula rules and 80,000 lb maximum gross vehicle weight apply on Interstate highways in Ohio. State-specific permits are required for oversize/overweight loads, and some states enforce additional emissions, hours-of-service, or weight enforcement rules. Carriers should consult the Ohio Department of Transportation for current commercial vehicle requirements.
