Pennsylvania By The Numbers

What the census shows.

Pennsylvania carriers hold 436,954 power units and report 313,872 drivers to FMCSA. 90% 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. 408 new interstate carriers registered in Pennsylvania in July 2026, so the pool gets more crowded every month.

The top five cities hold 19% of the state's carriers. If you hire in those metros, you are recruiting against the densest competition in Pennsylvania: check the city pages for the local numbers, or open the dashboard for the full state view.
