Carrier Archive — how this carrier looked in past years
USDOT 273301 · 9 snapshot years
Point-in-time copies of DAYTON FREIGHT LINES INC's public FMCSA record, one snapshot per year. Each row shows what the agency had on file at the time — fleet size, drivers, reported mileage, address, contacts, authority and insurance status. Today's record tells you who a carrier is; the archive tells you how they got here: steady growth, sudden fleet jumps, address moves, name changes, and coverage churn that a current-state lookup can't show.

FAQ
- What is a carrier archive snapshot?
- A preserved copy of what FMCSA’s public census showed for this USDOT on a capture date — legal name, addresses, fleet size, drivers, reported mileage, and related fields. It is not a live lookup and not a private MCS-150 PDF.
- How far back does the archive go?
- Nationwide free census files in this archive begin in 2011, with additional years in 2013, 2016, and 2020–2025. Some years in between were never published as free bulk files.
- Why do the numbers differ from today’s record?
- Carriers refile MCS-150 data over time. Fleet and driver counts are self-reported. Gaps between snapshot years mean changes that happened only in a gap year may first appear in the next available snapshot.
- Who should use this page?
- Brokers and shippers checking size/address stability; researchers tracing growth or relocation; compliance reviewers comparing today’s profile to prior public filings.
