FMCSA freight records in Chicago, Illinois
Narrow a company-name search using a declared physical city. This dated selection describes registrations that include General Freight, interstate operation and Authorized For Hire; it is not a booking list.
Dataset updated . Retrieved . Individual MCS-150 dates differ.
What stands out in the Chicago records
- Building materials appears on 464 records (15.7%), ahead of refrigerated food at 379 and fresh produce at 336. This is a comparison within the six displayed categories, not an exhaustive ranking of Chicago cargo.
- Household goods is declared on 313 records and intermodal containers on 279. A company may appear in both counts, and a physical Chicago address does not establish a household-goods service offer or rail-terminal coverage.
- KOMATSU AMERICA CORP is the first sample by USDOT and declares both Private Property and Authorized For Hire. Its MCS-150 date is 2024-07-09, so a recent dataset update must not be described as a fresh company filing.
Additional cargo declarations
All 2,959 selected records already declare General Freight. The six categories below show what else they declare; a record can appear in more than one bar. These are not shipment volumes or exclusive market shares.
An unmarked category is not a verified inability to carry that cargo. Confirm equipment, permissions and the proposed load independently.
Five records to practice checking identity
The five lowest USDOT numbers in this exact selection, in ascending order. This deterministic sample is not representative of fleet size, safety, service quality or availability. The counts below are company declarations, not vehicles or drivers located in Chicago.
MCS-150 dates in this sample: 2024-07-09 to 2026-02-03. On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways; keyboard users can focus it and use the arrow keys.

Move from a city match to a specific USDOT
- Match the legal name and declared physical address to the company you are checking. A similar name in a neighboring city is a separate identity question.
- Use the USDOT number to open the official record. Check current authority, insurance evidence and the proposed service separately.
- Keep the source and filing dates with your notes. A dataset refresh is not a new MCS-150 filing or a live dispatch check.

Source, geography and selection
The FMCSA Company Census File is the source of the counts, declarations and sample. The field dictionary (Rev. 8, January 23, 2026) defines physical city/state, record status, operation and cargo fields. Physical city is the principal address declared to FMCSA; it is not a boundary test, depot inventory, metropolitan-area search or area served.
We select records with active record status (A), an entity type containing Carrier (C), country US, interstate carrier operation (A), classification including Authorized For Hire and General Freight marked X, then match physical state IL and physical city CHICAGO exactly after uppercasing. Other classifications and cargo declarations may coexist.
Counts were checked against distinct USDOT numbers. Cargo categories share the same filter and denominator. The five examples use ascending numeric USDOT, not a commercial ranking. Missing values stay “Not reported”; reported zero remains zero.
