Services to Motor Carriers

TSS performs many services directly for the motor carrier industry.  Throughout the United States, there are approximately 625,000 motor carriers in various categories including private carriers, common carriers and contract carriers which are authorized by the Federal Department of Transportation to operate in interstate commerce.
