A conservative activist has claimed that “hundreds if not thousands” of trucking companies in the United States are registered under the name “No Name Given.”She said the situation is linked to migrants, particularly from the Punjabi community, who do not provide their full names to US authorities. This results in entries such as “No Name Given Ankur,” “No Name Given Anjali,” or “No Name Given Anil.”The claim was made in an audio shared on X by MAGA activist Savanah Hernandez, where she described a review of the USDOT (Department of Transportation) company census file, which contains over two million entries.“These are all trucking companies that have been registered, and this is their contact name,” the first speaker in the audio says.The exchange continues with the second person confirming the scope of the claim.“And each individual one is a trucking company here in the US,” the second speaker says.“Yes, on the USDOT record, there is a primary officer. And this is the person that owns the trucking company and is responsible for the paperwork, one of the two. This is where all of these names came from. And so I pulled the list from, it’s the file for the company census file at the USDOT, two point something million rows. And so I pulled everyone that included no given name, first name unknown, last name unknown. It’s a lot, and with the no given name, I searched it on the corporate filings, it’s only trucking companies that have this.”In the recording, the second speaker clarifies the practical implications of these registrations.“And again, I just want to clarify, these are the primary contacts of these companies here in the US. These people have active trucking companies.”“Yes,” the first speaker responds and agrees.The audio concludes with the suggestion that companies registered in this way are able to operate heavy trucks on American highways which might be dangerous for American citizens.It says: “And can actively have 18 wheelers or semis on US interstates.”Hernandez’s post said the problem came from years of alleged negligence by the US Department of Transportation (DOT). She suggested the issue started when migrants who crossed the border illegally did not give their full names to Border Patrol, which led to “No Name Given” entries on official paperwork.
