All notable changes to FMCSA Carrier Data: US Trucking Company Directory. The output is versioned with schemaVersion on every item: fields are only added, never renamed or removed.
0.3.0 — 2026-11-06 (schemaVersion: 3)
- Free lead score (
leadScore 0–100, leadTier hot/warm/cold, leadScoreFactors) on every carrier, at no extra charge: how good a sales prospect the carrier is for insurance, factoring, freight, BOC-3, ELD or dispatch services (new or pending authority, direct vs shared phone, company email, small fleet, insurance change coming, no BOC-3 yet...). Every point has its reason. Pro's riskScore is unchanged.
- Insurance history (
insuranceHistory): the 25 most recent cancelled or replaced filings (insurer, policy, coverage, effective and cancellation dates, kind: cancellation / replacement / name change) from FMCSA Motus InsHist and the legacy L&I InsHist.
- Announced cancellations (
upcomingInsuranceCancellation): the nearest cancellation or replacement already filed with a future effective date, with daysUntil; and insuranceCancellationsLast12Months. Monitor mode alerts when one is announced (upcomingInsuranceCancellation change, category insurance).
- Out-of-service rates vs the national average (
safety.vsNationalAverage): vehicle and driver OOS rates compared with the national averages published on SAFER (above / below and difference in points).
- BOC-3 from both systems:
boc3OnFile / processAgent now also read the legacy L&I BOC3 file (large fleets filed there: XPO, UPS, Amazon...). boc3OnFile is now false (instead of null) when the carrier has a docket and no BOC-3 is on file in either system — typical of brand-new authority still pending.
distanceMiles (radius search) and authorityEvent (authority events mode); null in the other modes.
- Radius search (
nearLocation + radiusMiles): carriers within N miles of a ZIP (75201) or a city (Dallas, TX), using US Census ZIP and place centroids bundled in the Actor (no extra calls, no third-party geocoder). Combines with every filter (fleet size, cargo, new carriers, authority...).
- Authority events mode (
authorityEvents + authorityEventsWithinDays): daily feed from FMCSA's authority history — authority granted, new applications (pending), reinstated, suspended, revoked/inactivated, withdrawn, out of service — with the event attached. Combines with state, radius, fleet and cargo filters; with monitor mode, each scheduled run delivers only what is new.
includeInsuranceHistory (default on, free).outputFormat: "leader-compatible" now fills leadScore with our free score (it was null).
- Prices, events and every existing field (only additions).
0.2.0 — 2026-11-04 (schemaVersion: 2)
- Safety block (
safety) — like SAFER's "Inspections/Crashes In US", last 24 months: roadside inspections (vehicle/driver), out-of-service counts and rates, crashes (fatal / injury / tow-away) and the 5 public BASIC measures with acute/critical flags (FMCSA SMS monthly snapshot). On by default (includeSafety), no extra charge.
- Pending MC numbers of brand-new carriers: FMCSA Motus authority is now joined for every carrier, not only the ones with a docket in the census. New registrations show their pending MC (and
authorityStatus: "pending") days or weeks before the census lists it — in our test sample, 19 of 25 new Texas carriers.
- Authority history: each authority has
statusDate, statusReason and grantedDate; authority adds grantedDate, lastStatusChangeDate, lastStatusChangeReason.
revocations: authority suspension and revocation orders (served and effective dates).processAgent / boc3OnFile: BOC-3 process agent filed in Motus.- Contact quality:
phoneSharedCount, emailSharedCount, phoneIsShared, emailIsShared (10+ USDOT records share it — usually a permit agent) and dataQualityFlags sharedPhone / sharedEmail.
- Email repair:
email fixes common filing errors (spaces, two addresses in one field, a name before the address); the original text is kept in emailAsFiled. Addresses no mail server accepts (name@aol..com) are no longer output.
- Census extras:
interstateDrivers, intrastateDrivers, equipment (owned / term-leased / trip-leased trucks, tractors, trailers), recordableCrashRate, priorRevokedDotNumber (reincarnated-carrier signal), ageInDays, isNewEntrant.
- One-line fields for spreadsheets/CRMs:
cargoCarriedText, authoritySummary, insuranceSummary.
rawCensus with includeRawData (every census column as filed).- Pro mode (
proMode, extra pro-result event): riskScore 0–100 + riskLevel + riskFactors, insuranceRenewal (estimated), whyNow, trend (with monitor mode) and insight (one-sentence AI summary). In monitor mode, Pro also alerts on safety changes (crashes, out-of-service rates, acute/critical violations).
- Company website combo (
enrichCompanyWebsite, extra company-website event): website emails, phones, contact page, social profiles, technologies and hiring status for carriers that use their own email domain.
outputFormat: "leader-compatible": adds the field names used by other popular FMCSA scrapers (never replaces ours).
- Input field names of other FMCSA scrapers are accepted (
registeredWithinDays, registeredAfter, carrierOperation, companyName, activeOnly, hazmatOnly, includeEmail, enrichAuthority, monitorStoreName, statuses, carrierOperations, addedAfter, usDotNumbers, mcMxNumbers).
maxResultsPerState; savedListName + saveList (remembered USDOT/MC watchlist); checkSharedContacts.- Empty input (
{} from the API or an AI agent) returns a 25-carrier sample of the newest interstate carriers instead of an error.
- Cost estimate logged at the start of every run; visual run dashboard (
DASHBOARD record, link in SUMMARY), free.
0.1.0 — 2026-11-04 (schemaVersion: 1)
- First version: USDOT/MC lookup and census search (state, city, ZIP, name, entity type, operation, cargo, fleet size, dates, status, safety rating), authority per docket (Motus + legacy L&I), insurance filings, out-of-service orders, SAFER-style power units, normalized phones/emails/addresses, monitor mode with field-level changes and Slack/webhook alerts, pay per valid result.
