The whole dataset, in one spreadsheet

Every carrier on file in one workbook — authority status, safety rating, fleet and driver counts, cargo authorisations and the state on record.

  • One sheet per table, with the same field names the API uses
  • Header rows frozen and a filter on every column
  • Named ranges, so a formula in your own sheet can point straight at it
  • The same file for every subscriber — download it as often as you like

Rebuilt every Monday. The workbook on offer today holds data collected up to 2026-09-08.

What the free tier gets

Every carrier page, the basic PDF record and three advanced searches a day, with no account. The charts, the peer comparison and the full PDF are paid.

One record, once

If you need a single full record and nothing else, buy it outright for $4.99 from the record itself — the PDF, dated, no account and no plan.

Cancellation

Plans can be canceled at any time through the billing portal, effective at the end of the current billing period.

A plan attaches to a Keelhelm account — one account across every Keelhelm service. You will be asked to sign in at checkout, and you will come straight back to CarrierHelm.
