France Road Transport Companies: Hauliers, Coaches, Forwarders

Get every licensed road transport company in France from the official national registers kept by the Ministry of Transport (DREAL):

• Goods hauliers (transport routier de marchandises): about 59,000 establishments
• Passenger carriers: coach, bus, taxi and shuttle operators (transport routier de voyageurs): about 12,000 establishments
• Freight forwarders (commissionnaires de transport): about 20,000 establishments

The registers are updated by the administration every Monday and Thursday. Each run downloads the latest official files, so you always get fresh data.

Who uses it

• Truck, van and coach dealers, leasing and rental companies: find carriers by fleet size and region.
• Fuel cards, telematics, tyres, insurance, factoring, driver training: build lead lists of hauliers with 5, 20 or 100+ vehicles.
• Shippers and freight platforms: check that a carrier holds a valid licence before booking it (KYC / subcontractor checks).
• Market studies: count carriers per department, EU-licensed carriers, last-mile van operators.
