The Bureau of Transportation
Statistics' Motor Carrier Financial and Operating Statistics (F&OS) Program
collects annual and quarterly data from motor carriers of property and passengers
that meet the applicability requirements listed in the table below. The program
collects balance sheet and income statement data along with information on tonnage,
mileage, employees, transportation equipment, and other related items, but there
are no explicit safety data items. The Motor Carrier F&OS forms are not
currently a part of the FMCSA compliance review process. The F&OS data are
used by the U.S. Department of Transportation, other government agencies, trucking
associations, insurance companies, consultants, law firms, academia, trade publications,
and others. Under 49 CFR 1420.10, unless otherwise provided by law, "the
data contained in the report[s]...shall be made publicly available." ApplicabilityAny motor carrier of property,
