Trucking/Shipping filing shape

Only 107 organizations filed on Trucking/Shipping (TRU) in 2023-2024, a narrow filer set where a handful of names dominate the disclosure stream.

FEDEX CORPORATION leads this issue's filer table with $27.1M in all-issue lobbying; filings remain spread across 10 named organizations rather than collapsing into one registrant.

With fewer filers on Trucking/Shipping, each quarterly disclosure carries more weight, and a small shift in registrant count can change the visible lobbying picture quickly.
