๐ North Carolina against the country37 of 1,214.

Published Jul 29, 2026, covering Jul 20, 2026 to Jul 26, 2026. Average priority score 97 of 100 against 97 nationwide. Every ranked carrier in the country carries an official filing contact, so there is nothing to separate North Carolina on that count. A filing contact is the phone or email the carrier itself gave FMCSA, never a contact we claim to have verified on a website.
