🚛 FMCSA Trucking & Moving Company Leads — Verified Email + Phone

2,200,000+ active USDOT-registered motor carriers nationwide — trucking companies, household-goods movers, freight haulers — pulled live from FMCSA's own Company Census File open-data API, not a fragile scrape of SAFER or a login-gated lookup tool. Every record includes the owner/officer name, direct phone, cell phone, and email address straight from the federal registration filing — no separate enrichment pass required. Filter by state, interstate/intrastate operation, hazmat authority, or fleet size, and flag brand-new carriers for the hottest possible outreach list.

Why this actor is different

The only other FMCSA scraper on the Store (parseforge/fmcsa-carrier-safety-scraper, 75 users, no reviews yet) is built for safety/inspection records — it doesn't surface contact info at all. Every generic "trucking leads" list sold elsewhere is a stale CSV that's already been resold hundreds of times to the same insurance agents and factoring reps.

	This actor	Safety-record scrapers	Resold CSV lead lists
Data source	First-party FMCSA open-data REST API	Same API, different fields	Unknown provenance, often years stale
Owner phone + cell + email	✅ Included, every record	❌ Not returned	Sometimes, unverifiable
Freshness	Live query, current DOT filing	Live query	Static file, resold repeatedly
New-carrier hot-lead filter	✅ Built-in is_new_carrier flag	❌	❌
Hazmat / fleet-size targeting	✅ Server-side filter	Partial	❌
Breakage risk	None — a public federal API	None	N/A (static)
Proxy/CAPTCHA needed	No	No	N/A

No login, no CAPTCHA, no anti-bot handling — this is a clean REST integration against a dataset the US Department of Transportation publishes specifically for public reuse.

Why this data is valuable

Every newly-registered or actively-operating motor carrier is a live buying opportunity for:

• Trucking insurance agents & MGAs — new-authority carriers need coverage immediately
• Factoring companies — new/small carriers are the classic factoring customer
• Fuel card & fleet-card providers — fleet-size filter targets the right tier
• ELD / telematics vendors — every carrier needs compliant hardware
• Freight brokers & dispatch services — recruiting owner-operators and small fleets
• Equipment finance & leasing companies — power-units filter finds growing fleets

The is_new_carrier flag (carriers that registered in the last N days, default 30) is the single hottest segment — these businesses are actively shopping for insurance, factoring, and equipment right now.

What you get per record

• legal_name, dba_name, dot_number, mc_number (MC/FF authority number, when issued)
• owner_contact_name, phone, cell_phone, email — straight from the federal filing
• address_street/city/state/zip + combined full_address
• carrier_operation (Interstate / Intrastate / Both), classification (e.g. "Authorized For Hire", "Private Property")
• is_hazmat — hazardous-materials authority flag
• power_units, truck_units, total_drivers, fleet_size_code
• status (Active / Inactive / Pending)
• registration_date, days_since_registration, is_new_carrier — renewal/new-lead targeting built in
• source — always states the origin dataset for audit trails

How to use it

New-carrier hot leads in a state (best converting segment):

{ "states": ["TX", "OK"], "newCarriersOnly": true, "newCarrierWithinDays": 30 }

Small owner-operator fleets for factoring/fuel-card outreach:

{ "maxPowerUnits": 5, "states": ["FL"], "maxResults": 2000 }

Hazmat carriers for specialty insurance:

{ "hazmatOnly": true, "maxResults": 1000 }

Search by name:

{ "nameContains": "MOVING", "states": ["CA"] }

Leave every filter empty to pull nationwide, newest registrations first (5,000-record cap per run keeps each run fast and predictable — paginate by state for full coverage).

Pricing

Pay-Per-Result — you're charged only for carrier records actually returned, nothing for platform overhead. See the actor's Pricing tab for the current tiered rate; heavier usage tiers get a lower per-record price automatically.

FAQ

Is this legal? Yes. FMCSA publishes this Company Census File specifically as open data for public reuse under the US DOT Open Data Program — no authentication is bypassed and no protected system is accessed.

Is the data current? FMCSA updates the underlying dataset on a rolling basis as carriers file their MCS-150 registration/renewal; this actor always queries it live, so results reflect the current published snapshot at run time.

Does every record have an email and phone? Most active carriers list a phone; email coverage is high but not 100% (a small share of legacy registrations predate the email field). email/phone/cell_phone are returned exactly as filed — empty string if FMCSA has none on record. No contact is ever fabricated.

Can I get all 2M+ records in one run? Each run caps at 5,000 records to keep runs fast and predictable. Split a full national pull across multiple runs by state (or narrow with newCarriersOnly/maxPowerUnits).

What's the difference between phone and cell_phone? Both come directly from the FMCSA filing — some carriers list only one, some list both. Use whichever is populated.
