[All snapshots](/data/equipment/archive) ## Analysis · as of August 15, 2026 ### Highlights - Freightliner holds 29.8% of the FMCSA-registered truck fleet, more than Kenworth and Peterbilt combined at 25.1%. - The fleet-wide weighted average model year is 2016, meaning the typical registered truck is approximately 10 years old. - Dry van trailers account for 1,546,790 units, representing 42.8% of the 3,610,546 total registered trailers. - RAM trucks carry the newest average model year among high-volume manufacturers at 2019, three years newer than the fleet average. - Over 530,000 FMCSA-registered trucks are 19 years old or older, based on model year 2007 and earlier counts in the age distribution. The most counterintuitive pattern in the FMCSA equipment registry is not Freightliner's dominance but the volume of pre-2010 trucks that remain active. Model year 2007 alone accounts for 142,915 trucks, the largest single-year cohort among vehicles 10 or more years old, and trucks from model years 2006 and 2007 together total 246,127 units still registered with carriers. That 2007 spike likely reflects the surge in Class 8 purchases ahead of the EPA's 2007 emissions standard implementation, which pushed buyers to lock in pre-compliant inventory, and those units have simply remained in service at smaller carriers with fewer resources to replace aging equipment. The fleet-wide weighted average model year of 2016 means the median truck is a decade old as of the data cut date of August 15, 2026. Trailer stock skews somewhat newer on the high end, with 2022 model year trailers representing 251,298 units compared to 306,077 trucks of the same vintage, but trailers extend further back in the age tail, with 35-year-old 1991 model year units still appearing in the registry at 2,174 units. Manufacturer concentration is notable at the top: Freightliner's 29.8% share is more than double Kenworth's 13.2%, and the top three manufacturers together account for 54.9% of all registered trucks. Volvo, at 7.7% market share, reaches that level with only 85,925 distinct carriers, compared to Ford's 7.8% share spread across 156,339 carriers, a divergence that likely reflects Volvo's concentration in large fleets versus Ford's penetration among small and owner-operator carriers running lighter commercial vehicles. The RAM fleet's average model year of 2019 stands out as the newest among manufacturers with more than 100,000 registered units, consistent with that brand's growth in the lighter commercial segment during a period of post-2018 fleet expansion. Dry van remains the dominant trailer type at 1,546,790 units, more than twice the combined count of flatbed and reefer, underscoring the continued centrality of general freight in the FMCSA-registered carrier population. Viewed across the full age distribution, the data shows a fleet that absorbed two major buying cycles, roughly 2018 to 2020 and again in 2022 to 2023, without retiring its oldest units at a commensurate rate, a pattern that has persisted across the trailing decade. ### Key Statistics 4,448,027 Total FMCSA-registered trucks across all manufacturers As of 2026-08-15 3,610,546 Total FMCSA-registered trailers across all types As of 2026-08-15 29.8% Freightliner share of all registered trucks As of 2026-08-15 312,641 Number of distinct carriers operating at least one Freightliner truck As of 2026-08-15 54.9% Combined market share of top three manufacturers: Freightliner, Kenworth, and Peterbilt As of 2026-08-15 1,546,790 Dry van trailers registered with FMCSA carriers As of 2026-08-15 472,430 Refrigerated (reefer) trailers registered with FMCSA carriers As of 2026-08-15 142,915 Registered trucks with a 2007 model year, the largest single-year cohort among vehicles 10 or more years old As of 2026-08-15 2019 Average model year for RAM trucks, the newest among manufacturers with 100,000 or more registered units As of 2026-08-15 244,553 Tank trailers registered with FMCSA carriers, with an average model year of 2012 As of 2026-08-15 98,817 Trucks registered with a 2026 model year As of 2026-08-15 66,255 Western Star trucks registered across 28,631 carriers, averaging a 2017 model year As of 2026-08-15 Cite this data AlphaLoops.
