How do I get a list of these carriers with emails and phone numbers?

Where do these numbers come from?

They are counts from the FMCSA Company Census as last observed by TruckerFetch. Active means Census status A. Carriers are placed by their reported physical address, cargo by the cargo codes they report and add dates by the Census add date. Carriers that asked to be removed from TruckerFetch are excluded.
