Every US trucking carrier that just got FMCSA operating authority — the highest-intent freight lead there is. New DOT numbers from the official motor-carrier census, with name, address, phone, fleet size and email. No API key.
A brand-new carrier in its first weeks of operation is the single most valuable lead in trucking: it has not yet chosen a freight broker, a factoring company, an insurance agent, an ELD/fuel-card vendor, or a dispatch service. This actor outputs exactly those carriers — the ones added to the FMCSA census inside a rolling lookback window — so you can reach them first.
This is the perishable sibling of the full FMCSA Trucking Carrier Scraper. Same official source, but filtered to just the new ones and built to run on a weekly schedule.
Data source — official, no key, no anti-bot
Pulls the USDOT Company Census File (az4n-8mr2) from the public Socrata datahub on data.transportation.gov, filtered on add_date (the date the carrier entered the census). Optional email join from the SMS Census (kjg3-diqy, ~55% coverage). No API key required.

Compliance
All data originates from the public FMCSA motor-carrier census. This actor reproduces public business-registration data keyed to a USDOT number. It does not compile or resell consumer/personal data. Verify any record against the carrier's live SAFER profile (linked per row) before acting.
