Verified oilfield carriers in Houston (136)

Carriers on this page with a HaulAtlas profile that passes the profile index threshold: active in the census, an MCS-150 update in the last 24 months, and at least one record checked against FMCSA in the last 60 days (operating authority with an MC number, insurance on file, or roadside inspections). A to Z; the order is not a ranking. Each profile shows what is on file; the census does not show which trailers a carrier runs, so ask about equipment before you book.

Frequently asked questions

How many oilfield trucking companies are in Houston, Texas?

1,804 for-hire FMCSA-registered motor carriers with a physical address in Houston, Texas list the cargo class Oilfield Equipment on their MCS-150, as of October 19, 2026.

Does FMCSA record which carriers run oilfield equipment?

No. The FMCSA Company Census records the cargo classes a carrier says it hauls, not its trailers or trucks. This page counts for-hire carriers that list the cargo class Oilfield Equipment; a carrier can list several classes, and the list is self-reported. Many carriers here list several other classes as well, so a listing shows what a carrier says it will haul, not the equipment it runs; ask about equipment before you book.

How do I check a carrier's authority and insurance?

Look up its USDOT number on FMCSA SAFER and its MC number in FMCSA L&I before tendering a load. Verified HaulAtlas profiles show what FMCSA had on file when HaulAtlas last checked, with the date.
