Frequently Asked Questions
Where does this Flatbed 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 flatbed 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 flatbed carrier in Texas before booking or partnering with them?+
3,347 of the 50,356 Texas flatbed 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 flatbed carrier different from other equipment types?+
A flatbed has no walls or roof, so it can carry oversize or oddly shaped loads. These include building materials, machinery, steel coils, lumber, and construction equipment. They won't fit through the rear doors of a dry van or reefer. In Texas, FMCSA lists 50,356 carriers that report hauling flatbed freight, most of them around HOUSTON.
Can I book flatbed freight in Texas directly with carriers from this list through Grow Trucking?+
The 50,356 Texas flatbed carriers listed here come from public FMCSA records. This directory is a free research and verification tool built on public FMCSA data. It isn't a load board or brokerage. Grow Trucking is a dispatch service. We work for owner-operators and small fleets, finding and booking freight for them. If you're a carrier looking to run more of this equipment type in this state, that's exactly what a dedicated dispatcher does.
