Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## FMCSA New Trucking Carrier Leads – Phone & Email A deduplicated lead list of **newly-registered US motor carriers** — trucking companies that just got their USDOT number. Each record has the legal name, **phone (near-100% fill), email, and physical address**, plus fleet size and operation type. With dedup on, a **scheduled run only returns carriers that are new since your last run** — a fresh daily lead feed. ### Who uses it Commercial **trucking-insurance agents** (a new carrier legally must carry insurance before operating — the highest-intent lead there is), freight **factoring** companies, **ELD**/telematics vendors, compliance and permitting services, and anyone selling to brand-new trucking businesses. ### Why this is worth charging for The FMCSA census is public, but it's a raw government table: text-encoded dates like `14-MAY-26`, a DOT-number column stored as a string (so a naïve sort puts "999999" above "5000000"), and no notion of "what's new since I last looked." This actor sorts carriers newest-first correctly, parses the fields, keeps only what a salesperson needs, and deduplicates across runs so your schedule bills only for new carriers. ### Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | `states` | Two-letter state codes to include (physical address), e.g. `CA`, `TX`. Empty = all states. | | `forHireOnly` | Keep only carriers authorized for hire (exclude private fleets). | | `minPowerUnits` | Keep only carriers with at least this many trucks. | | `maxPagesToScan` | Pages of newest carriers to scan per run (page size configurable). | | `onlyNewSinceLastRun` | Recommended for schedules — skips carriers already returned by a previous run. | | `maxItems` | Stop after this many normalized records. | ### Output Each dataset item is one normalized carrier lead: ```json { "dotNumber": "4582560", "legalName": "ATS AUTO TRANSPORT SERVICES LLC", "dbaName": null, "phone": "(786) 788-4043", "email": "haulwithats@gmail.com", "phyCity": "PEMBROKE PINES", "phyState": "FL", "phyZip": "33027-5060", "carrierOperation": "Intrastate (Non-Hazmat)", "authorizedForHire": true, "hazmat": false, "powerUnits": 1, "drivers": 1, "registeredDate": "2026-05-14", "saferUrl": "https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?...query_string=4582560", "source": "FMCSA" } ```` ### Pricing (Pay-Per-Event) - **`query`** — charged once per run for the census poll. - **`carrier-record`** — charged per normalized carrier pushed. This is the primary event. - `apify-actor-start` (Apify-managed) — covers baseline compute per run. A daily run filtered to your state returns just that day's new carriers for pennies; a first backfill pull is a larger one-time run you control with `maxPagesToScan` and `maxItems`. ### Source & reliability Data comes from the public FMCSA Motor Carrier Census on `data.transportation.gov` (Socrata). No API key, no proxy needed. The census refreshes on FMCSA's schedule (typically within weeks of registration). Run `npm test` for the offline self-test covering date parsing, boolean/number coercion and operation-code mapping. ### FAQ **How "new" are these?** Carriers are returned newest-first by USDOT number (assigned sequentially at registration). The census refreshes periodically, so the leading edge tracks recent registrations; run on a schedule with `onlyNewSinceLastRun` to catch each new batch. **Is phone always present?** On recent registrations phone fill is near-100%; email is present on roughly half. Both come straight from the carrier's MCS-150 filing. *** *SEO keywords: FMCSA leads, new trucking company leads, motor carrier leads, USDOT new registrations, trucking insurance leads, freight factoring leads, ELD leads, carrier phone list, MCS-150 data* # Actor input Schema ## `states` (type: `array`): Two-letter state codes to include (physical address), e.g. CA, TX, FL. Leave empty for all states. ## `forHireOnly` (type: `boolean`): Keep only carriers authorized for hire (exclude private fleets). ## `minPowerUnits` (type: `integer`): Keep only carriers with at least this many power units. Leave blank for all sizes. ## `pageSize` (type: `integer`): Rows fetched per API page (max 1000). ## `maxPagesToScan` (type: `integer`): Pages of newest carriers to scan per run. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many normalized records have been pushed. Leave blank for no limit. ## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`): Recommended for scheduled runs. Uses persisted state to skip carriers already returned earlier, so a recurring schedule only charges for genuinely new registrations. ## Actor input object example ```json { "states": [], "forHireOnly": false, "pageSize": 100, "maxPagesToScan": 5, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
