Frequently asked questions
About trucking companies in Rhode Island
How big is the trucking industry in Rhode Island?
Nightly aggregation of the FMCSA census puts Rhode Island at 4,329 active motor carriers running roughly 19,349 power units combined, and about 46% of those carriers are single-truck owner-operators. Average active fleet size works out to 5.1 trucks.
How fast is the Rhode Island carrier market changing?
97 new RI carrier registrations appeared in the last 90 days — and 115 registrations carry an FMCSA prior-revocation link, the raw material of chameleon re-registrations.
Which Rhode Island carrier runs the biggest fleet?
UNFI TRANSPORT LLC out of PROVIDENCE tops the RI ranking with 2222 power units on its latest MCS-150. Its complete vetting workup — risk flags, score breakdown, insurance filings, and record timeline — is at https://mclookup.com/carrier/179097.
Where does this Rhode Island ranking come from?
The list orders every carrier headquartered in RI by self-reported power units, filtered for plausibility (a driver-to-truck ratio between 0.3 and 5.0 screens out data-entry junk like thousand-truck fleets with zero drivers). Showing the top 100 of 1,240 qualifying carriers; every row links to that carrier's full public record.
Can I vet a Rhode Island carrier that isn't listed here?
Yes — this page only surfaces the largest fleets. Any of the 1,240 registered RI carriers can be pulled up by typing its USDOT or MC number into the search bar, which returns the same risk-flag screening, score breakdown, and month-over-month record history.
