A free market report built from the federal carrier census: who operates in Ohio, how big their fleets are, and how fast new competition is registering. Updated with each census sync. No email gate.
Ohio carriers hold 457,811 power units and report 308,676 drivers to FMCSA. 88% of the state's fleets run 10 trucks or fewer, which means the driver market here is mostly small operators outbidding each other for the same pool. 364 new interstate carriers registered in Ohio in July 2026, so the pool gets more crowded every month.
The top five cities hold 28% of the state's carriers. If you hire in those metros, you are recruiting against the densest competition in Ohio: check the city pages for the local numbers, or open the dashboard for the full state view.
