FMCSA New Carrier Feed — Fresh Trucking Authority Leads (Daily)

Get every newly registered motor carrier — legal name, location, phone, USDOT and MC numbers, fleet size, and operation type — pulled directly from the official FMCSA registration data and normalized into a clean lead schema. Run it daily and you receive only the carriers added since your last run: deduplicated, incremental, pay-per-result.

New authorities are the highest-value moment in a carrier's life. Factoring companies, insurance agencies, brokers, dispatch services, ELD and fuel-card vendors all compete to reach a carrier in its first weeks of operation — before its phone starts ringing. This feed exists to put you first in line, every morning, automatically.

Who uses this feed

• Freight factoring — new authorities need cash flow before their first invoices clear. Day-one outreach wins the account.
• Trucking insurance agencies — every new authority needs liability and cargo coverage to operate.
• Freight brokers & dispatchers — build carrier networks from the newest entrants before competitors onboard them.
• ELD, fuel card, and compliance vendors — new carriers are buying their entire operating stack right now.
• AI sales agents — stable JSON schema and incremental output make this feed safe to wire directly into automated outreach pipelines.

Quick start (the 2-minute setup that pays for itself)

1. Run once with the default lookback window — you'll get a backfill of recent new carriers so your first run is never empty.
2. Create a daily schedule (Schedules → new schedule → pick this Actor). Every morning the feed delivers only carriers added since yesterday.
3. Connect the output — download CSV, or push rows automatically to Google Sheets, your CRM, or anywhere else via Apify integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n) or the API.

You are billed per carrier record delivered. No subscription, no seat licenses, no minimums — a quiet day costs you almost nothing.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? The feed reads the official federal registration data, which updates on business days. Running on a daily schedule keeps you within roughly one business day of a carrier's registration — earlier than typical purchased lead lists reach the market.

Will I get duplicates? No. The feed tracks previously seen USDOT numbers and emits each carrier once. Every row in your dataset is a new carrier.

Do I need an API key or account with FMCSA? No. The Actor handles the source directly. Press run.

Can I filter by state or fleet size? Every record carries state and power_units, so you can segment in your sheet or CRM. Native input filters are on the roadmap — open an issue on this page and tell me which filter you need first; user requests set the priority.

How is this different from buying carrier lead lists? Lead-list brokers typically resell this same public data on a delay, at a fixed monthly fee, with no control over freshness. This feed is the primary source on your own schedule, billed per record. You own the pipeline.

What about carrier safety scores? This feed is built for new authority discovery. For safety snapshots on a specific carrier, pair it with a safety-lookup tool using the USDOT number from each record — the two workflows complement each other.

Is this legal to use? The feed reads official U.S. government open data published for public use. No login walls, no terms-of-service gray zones, no scraping fragility.
