Needing some help finding some info in the BT Universe

Does anyone know of where a list or a the mentioning of which shipping companies there are in the BT universe?
To be clear I am looking for names of companies that run the jumpships that carry commercial goods and products around the Inner Sphere. Like Ryan's Ice Ships mentioned in the House books and other places.

Skye Traders were an ancient shipping company that transformed into the Federation of Skye.
Nashan Diversified includes interstellar shipping (pg136 HSHB)
Lyran Free Traders is a shipping association (pg139 HSHB)
Meier-Star Agency (pg140 HSHB)
Free Flight, Ltd (pg155 HMHB)
Highpoint Traders (pg155 HMHB)
White Swan Trans-Stellar (pg180 / 164 HDHB)
Corean Transgalactic (pg186 / 170 HDHB)
No specific companies named in HB:MPS.
Didn't have HLHB handy to search it.
Note I only searched for "shipping," not "freight" or "passengers."
Further, I gave page numbers as listed in pdfs. I noticed a distinct difference in .pdf / hard copy pagination in the HDHB, so I listed pages as .pdf / hard copy. If that problem is also present in the HM and HSHBs, the company names should be easy enough to hunt up if you want the detailed references.

The 1980s House books are "Source books," the 2000s updates are "Handbooks," so the HB's I was tacking on were for Handbooks.
