Interpret this report
CENSORED BY OUR OWN FILTER, NOT BY REALITY. The bulk FMCSA ingest selected carriers with mcs150_date >= 2022-01-01, so the shortage of pre-2022 filings in this distribution is a property of how we ingested, not of how carriers file. Read it as "how recently did the carriers we DID take last update their federal filing" — a freshness measure of our own data — and never as an industry-wide filing-compliance statistic.
Counts describe records in this directory. Companies can appear in more than one service or port category, so categories should not be added to estimate a market total.
