Look up a USDOT from the tender
Census state is the state on the physical address the carrier filed on MCS-150 — not a catalog of trucks for hire. OOS (out of service) flags sit on the USDOT. Search the number on the tender.
Why state matters here
Census physical state
FMCSA’s census phy_state is the state on the physical address the carrier filed on MCS-150. It is self-reported and stale. It is not a filter for who hauls your lane.
OOS (out of service) is on the USDOT
Live OOS is a 365-day unrescinded heuristic on that USDOT. We do not invent a per-state OOS ranking.
Statewide scans stay on Search
State links below prefill the search. They do not auto-run. Click Search carriers when you intend a statewide query.

Questions
Does ClearTheTender list carriers in a city?
No. We vet a USDOT you already have. Census city and state are the physical address on MCS-150, not a local catalog. City search requires a state.
What does the state filter actually search?
FMCSA census phy_state — the state on the physical address the carrier filed. It is not the states they haul, and we do not invent an OOS flag for that state.
Why does a state link open ClearTheTender without results?
A statewide scan can be hundreds of thousands of rows. State links prefill the search. Click Search carriers when you mean to run it. City-only searches are blocked because census city is not indexed.
What happened to old city pages?
Old Texas city URLs redirect into a ClearTheTender search for that city and Texas. They are not listing pages.
