Frequently Asked Questions
Where does this Dry Van carrier data for Texas come from?+
It's pulled live from FMCSA's Company Census File — the same MCS-150 data FMCSA itself publishes as open data — filtered to active, for-hire carriers physically based in Texas that report hauling dry van freight. A carrier must report at least one truck, so bus and other passenger-only companies are left out. The directory refreshes weekly, so counts reflect FMCSA's most recent published data, not a one-time snapshot.
How do I verify a dry van carrier in Texas before booking or partnering with them?+
10,780 of the 98,187 Texas dry van carriers were added to the FMCSA census in the last 12 months, so check each name before you book. Check that their authority is active. Check that cargo insurance and (for brokers) a bond are on file and meet the minimums. Check that there's no history of double-brokering or unresolved complaints. Use our free Carrier & Broker Lookup tool to pull a carrier's live FMCSA record by DOT or MC number. It shows authority status, insurance on file, and safety rating in real time.
What makes a dry van carrier different from other equipment types?+
A dry van is an enclosed, non-temperature-controlled trailer. It is the most common equipment type. It carries palletized general freight, retail goods, and packaged products that don't need climate control. In Texas, FMCSA lists 98,187 carriers that report hauling dry van freight, most of them around HOUSTON.
Can I book dry van freight in Texas directly with carriers from this list through Grow Trucking?+
