## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## FMCSA New Carrier Leads — newly registered trucking companies, daily

Get every motor carrier that registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation in the last few days, with the **phone, cell, email, company officer, truck count and cargo types** they filed. Official FMCSA data, refreshed daily, delivered as clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

New carriers need insurance, factoring, ELDs, fuel cards, load boards, compliance help and trucks. This feed tells you who they are the week they start.

### Who uses this

- **Freight factoring and financing** — reach owner-operators before their first invoice.
- **Trucking insurance agencies** — new authority means new policies.
- **ELD, fuel card, dispatch and TMS vendors** — the fleet is choosing tools right now.
- **Load boards and brokers** — onboard fresh carriers by state and lane.
- **Compliance and DOT consultants** — new entrants face audits within 12 months.

### What you get per lead

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| dotNumber | 6363373 |
| legalName / dbaName | KRUDMEAS TRUCKING LLC |
| addDate | 2026-09-22 |
| phone / cellPhone / email | (559) 285-5758 / (559) 515-5799 / joey@example.com |
| officer1 / officer2 | JOEY SOK |
| powerUnits / totalDrivers | 1 / 1 |
| fleetSize / fleetSizeCode | 2 to 3 / B |
| carrierOperation | Interstate |
| classification / authorizedForHire | AUTHORIZED FOR HIRE / true |
| cargoTypes | \["Refrigerated Food", "General Freight"] |
| physical and mailing address | street, city, state, zip |
| hazmat, priorRevokeFlag | false / false |
| saferUrl | link to the carrier's SAFER snapshot |

About 2,000 active carriers register every week nationwide, and nearly all list an email.

### Filters

- **Registered within the last N days** or an explicit **since date**
- **States** (physical address), e.g. TX, CA, FL
- **Operation type**: interstate, intrastate hazmat, intrastate non-hazmat
- **Authorized for hire only** (skip private fleets)
- **Min / max power units** — target owner-operators (1) or small fleets (2 to 10)
- **Require email**, **require phone**
- **Maximum results** to cap your spend

### How to run

1. Click **Try for free**.
2. Set the days back and any states you care about.
3. Run. Download results from the **Output** tab as CSV, Excel or JSON, or connect a Google Sheets, Zapier or Make integration to receive leads automatically.

Schedule the Actor daily to receive only new registrations each morning. Set **days back = 1**.

### Pricing

You pay per lead returned. There is no charge for filtering, and runs that return nothing cost nothing beyond the platform's start fee. Use **Maximum results** to cap any run.

### Data source and compliance

Data comes from the FMCSA Company Census file published on the DOT open-data portal (dataset `az4n-8mr2`), which is public domain and updated daily by 12:00 PM Eastern. No website scraping is involved, so this Actor does not break when a site changes.

You are responsible for how you contact these businesses. Follow TCPA, CAN-SPAM and your state's telemarketing rules.

### FAQ

**How fresh is it?** The DOT publishes the census daily. Carriers that registered yesterday appear today.

**Does it include MC numbers?** The census carries USDOT numbers and docket prefixes where filed. The SAFER link shows the full authority record.

**Can I get only carriers with more than one truck?** Yes, set minimum power units.

**Rate limits?** Large pulls (tens of thousands of rows) run faster with a free Socrata app token, which you can paste into the optional field.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
