FMCSA New Trucking Companies: Daily New DOT Carrier Leads

Get every newly registered US trucking company (new USDOT numbers) straight from the official FMCSA Company Census, the U.S. DOT open data that is updated daily. Each record includes the company name, officer, phone, email, physical address, fleet size, drivers and cargo types. Filter by registration date, state, fleet size, operation type and email availability.

About 3,700 new carriers registered in the first 10 days of October 2026. Reach them in their first weeks, when they are shopping for insurance, factoring, ELDs and fuel cards.

Who uses this

• Commercial truck insurance agents: new carriers need liability and cargo coverage before they can haul.
• Freight factoring and fintech: new fleets need cash flow on day one.
• ELD, dashcam and telematics vendors: new carriers need an ELD to comply with the mandate.
• Fuel cards, truck dealers, leasing, parts: buyers with new fleets.
• Compliance and permitting consultants: UCR, IFTA, drug and alcohol programs, BOC-3.
• Load boards, dispatchers and brokers: onboarding new capacity.
• Researchers and journalists: tracking how many new trucking companies form, by state.

Quick start

1. Set Registered in the last N days (e.g. 7) and pick States (e.g. TX, FL).
2. Optional: Min power units = 2 to skip one-truck owner-operators, and Only records with email = on.
3. Run, then export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull results through the API.
4. Daily feed: add a Schedule (e.g. every morning, daysBack = 1) and connect it to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Zapier, Make or a webhook.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? FMCSA publishes census updates daily. New USDOT numbers usually appear within 1–3 days of registration.

Does it include MC numbers or authority status? Not yet. This feed is keyed on the USDOT registration date. Use the SAFER link to check operating authority.

Why do some records have no email or officer? Carriers aren't required to file every field. Turn on Only records with email to filter.

Can I get historical data? Yes. Set daysBack up to 365.

Can I use it with AI agents? Yes, through the Apify API or MCP server. The output schema is documented field by field.
