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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Trucking & Moving Company Leads — Verified Email + Phone ![FMCSA Trucking & Moving Company Leads — filter by state/fleet-size, get owner email+phone back](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/1ztQFHwG8acESTazI/records/fmcsa-motor-carrier-leads-hero.png) **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):** ```json { "states": ["TX", "OK"], "newCarriersOnly": true, "newCarrierWithinDays": 30 } ```` **Small owner-operator fleets for factoring/fuel-card outreach:** ```json { "maxPowerUnits": 5, "states": ["FL"], "maxResults": 2000 } ``` **Hazmat carriers for specialty insurance:** ```json { "hazmatOnly": true, "maxResults": 1000 } ``` **Search by name:** ```json { "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). *** ### Real output example (live data, captured 2026-07-11) ```json [ { "dot_number": "5028224", "legal_name": "ORTEZ TRUCKING LLC", "dba_name": "", "owner_contact_name": "LIZETTE ORTEZ", "phone": "8329602811", "cell_phone": "2148925389", "email": "LIZORTEZ@ICLOUD.COM", "mc_number": "", "address_street": "7400 HILLMONT ST", "address_city": "HOUSTON", "address_state": "TX", "address_zip": "77040-6440", "full_address": "7400 HILLMONT ST, HOUSTON, TX, 77040-6440", "carrier_operation": "BOTH", "classification": "LOCAL GOVERNMENT;AUTHORIZED FOR HIRE", "is_hazmat": false, "power_units": 4, "truck_units": 2, "total_drivers": 4, "fleet_size_code": "C", "status": "ACTIVE", "registration_date": "2026-07-08", "days_since_registration": 3, "is_new_carrier": true, "source": "FMCSA Company Census File (data.transportation.gov, dataset az4n-8mr2)" } ] ``` The run summary (Key-Value Store → `summary`) gives you aggregate counts: ```json { "total_records": 5, "hazmat": 0, "new_carriers": 5, "with_email": 5, "with_phone_or_cell": 5, "states_covered": ["TX"], "source": "FMCSA Company Census File (data.transportation.gov, dataset az4n-8mr2)" } ``` *** ### 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. *** ### Other GoCreative data tools - **[Email Verifier — 8-Layer Deliverability Check](https://apify.com/store)** — validate this list before you send - **[Website Contact & Email Extractor](https://apify.com/store)** — turn any carrier's website into additional verified contacts - **[Google Maps Lead Extractor](https://apify.com/store)** — cross-reference carrier addresses with local business listings *** *Need help or have a feature request (e.g. a specific commodity/cargo filter)?

Leave empty for all states. ## `carrierOperation` (type: `string`): Restrict to interstate-authorized, intrastate-only, or both. Leave empty for all. ## `hazmatOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only return carriers registered to haul hazardous materials. ## `minPowerUnits` (type: `integer`): Only return carriers with at least this many power units (trucks/tractors). Leave empty for no minimum. ## `maxPowerUnits` (type: `integer`): Only return carriers with at most this many power units — e.g. set to 5 to target small owner-operators, a prime segment for factoring/fuel-card/insurance outreach. Leave empty for no maximum. ## `nameContains` (type: `string`): Case-insensitive substring match on the carrier's legal name (e.g. "MOVING", "LOGISTICS"). ## `activeOnly` (type: `boolean`): Restrict to carriers with FMCSA status = Active. Uncheck to include inactive/pending too. ## `newCarriersOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only return carriers registered within the New Carrier window below — a ready-made hot-lead list for insurance/factoring/fuel-card/ELD outreach on businesses that just got their authority. ## `newCarrierWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Every returned record gets an is\_new\_carrier flag if registered within this many days. Also used as the hard filter when "New Carriers Only" is checked. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of carrier records to return this run (cap: 5,000). Split larger pulls across multiple runs/state filters. Results are newest-registration-first by default. ## Actor input object example ```json { "states": [ "TX", "CA", "FL" ], "carrierOperation": "", "hazmatOnly": false, "nameContains": "", "activeOnly": true, "newCarriersOnly": false, "newCarrierWithinDays": 30, "maxResults": 1000 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `carrierRecords` (type: `string`): No description ## `summary` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
