The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has announced it has terminated the collection and dissemination of motor carrier financial and operating statistics.

This program was designed to collect annual and quarterly data from motor carriers, including balance sheet and income statement data along with information on tonnage, mileage, employees, and transportation equipment.
