[All snapshots](/data/equipment/archive) ## Analysis · as of April 17, 2026 ### Highlights - Freightliner holds 30.0% of FMCSA-registered trucks across 301,897 carriers, more than double the share of the second-ranked Kenworth at 13.3%. - The fleet-wide weighted average model year is 2016, meaning the median FMCSA-registered truck is roughly a decade old as of 2026. - Dry van trailers account for 1,384,845 units, representing 43.3% of all 3,196,333 registered trailers in the dataset. - Tank trailers carry the oldest average model year among trailer types at 2012, three to five years older than dry van and reefer fleets. - Over 237,000 trucks registered as model years 2025 or 2026 appear in FMCSA records, compared to 293,059 trucks from model year 2022 alone. The most notable pattern in the FMCSA equipment data is not Freightliner's market leadership, which is well-established, but the pronounced bimodal shape of the truck age distribution. Model year 2022 trucks number 293,059, model year 2020 trucks number 341,459, and model year 2019 trucks number 333,769, forming a dense cluster of equipment purchased during the freight boom years. By contrast, model year 2021 trucks total only 223,540, a drop of roughly 117,000 units compared to 2020 that is consistent with the supply chain disruptions and OEM production constraints documented industry-wide during that period. The fleet did not simply age uniformly; there is a visible dip in the 2021 cohort sandwiched between two larger ones, suggesting purchasing patterns were distorted rather than gradual. Among manufacturers, the divergence between carrier penetration and unit count is worth noting. Ford ranks sixth by truck count at 309,177 units but is distributed across 144,215 carriers, a ratio of roughly 2.1 trucks per carrier, far lower than Freightliner's 4.1 trucks per carrier across 301,897 carriers. This likely reflects Ford's concentration in smaller, non-CDL commercial fleets rather than large truckload or LTL operations. Peterbilt carries the oldest average model year among the top-five OEMs at 2015, one to two years behind Freightliner and Volvo, both at 2017, which may indicate slower replacement cycles among Peterbilt-heavy fleets or a larger base of legacy equipment that has not yet turned over. On the trailer side, tank trailers average a 2012 model year against reefer and flatbed-tag averages of 2017, a five-year gap that is consistent with the longer service lives typical of tank equipment. Across the full dataset, the weighted average truck model year of 2016 means a large share of the active fleet is approaching or beyond ten years of service as of the data cutoff in April 2026, a position the fleet has held for most of the past decade. ### Key Statistics 4,163,388 Total FMCSA-registered trucks across all manufacturers As of 2026-04-17 3,196,333 Total FMCSA-registered trailers across all types As of 2026-04-17 30.0% Freightliner share of total FMCSA-registered trucks As of 2026-04-17 55.4% Combined market share of top three manufacturers (Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt) As of 2026-04-17 1,384,845 Dry van trailers registered with FMCSA As of 2026-04-17 434,800 Reefer trailers registered with FMCSA As of 2026-04-17 220,323 Tank trailers registered with FMCSA As of 2026-04-17 2012 Average model year of FMCSA-registered tank trailers, the oldest among major trailer types As of 2026-04-17 341,459 FMCSA-registered trucks with a 2020 model year, the largest single-year cohort in the active fleet As of 2026-04-17 223,540 FMCSA-registered trucks with a 2021 model year, the lowest annual cohort in the 2018–2024 range As of 2026-04-17 144,215 Number of FMCSA carriers operating at least one Ford truck As of 2026-04-17 2016 Fleet-wide weighted average model year across all FMCSA-registered trucks As of 2026-04-17 Cite this data AlphaLoops.
