FMCSA New Trucking Carrier Leads: daily new USDOT registrations with email

Every motor carrier that registered a new USDOT number in your window, read from FMCSA's official Company Census File. Each record carries the owner or officer names, phone, cell, email (junk values removed), address, fleet size, drivers, interstate or intrastate operation, for-hire class, hazmat flag and a decoded cargo list. Turn on onlyNew and a daily schedule never charges you twice for the same carrier. No browser, no proxy, no API key. $2.50 per 1,000 leads.

Who buys new-carrier lists

A brand-new trucking company needs, within its first 30–90 days: commercial truck insurance, factoring, an ELD, a dispatcher, fuel cards, drug and alcohol consortium enrollment, IFTA/IRP and BOC-3 filings, and often a load board and truck financing. FMCSA registers about 400–500 new USDOT numbers on a typical weekday (measured from the census, late September 2026). Getting to those carriers first is what this list is for.

From a live run on 2026-10-04, using filters for-hire only and email required:

{
  "dotNumber": "5505792",
  "legalName": "ALL THINGS TOWING",
  "registeredDate": "2026-10-02",
  "status": "active",
  "officers": ["J•••• A•••••"],
  "phone": "806•••••••",
  "email": "j•••••@allthingstowing.com",
  "city": "LUBBOCK", "state": "TX", "zip": "79423",
  "operation": "intrastate non-hazmat",
  "isForHire": true,
  "powerUnits": 3, "drivers": 2,
  "cargo": ["Drive/Tow away"],
  "safetyUrl": "https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&query_string=5505792"
}

That run scanned 270 registrations from 3 days and returned 200 for-hire carriers with a valid email (it hit the cap). Run again with onlyNew, it skipped those 200 and delivered the next 200.

What makes it different

Junk emails removed	The census email field often holds a company name, NONE or a typo. Anything that isn't a syntactically valid address comes back as null, so requireEmail means a usable address.
Decoded cargo	The 30 FMCSA cargo checkboxes become readable classes (Refrigerated Food, Building Materials, Household Goods...). Filter on them with cargo.
onlyNew for schedules	Delivered USDOT numbers are remembered for 120 days in a named key-value store in your account. Daily runs pay only for carriers you haven't seen.
Normalized	Phones are reduced to digits, dates are ISO, and operation, status and for-hire are plain words and booleans.
Linked	Every row links to the carrier's FMCSA SAFER snapshot.

Input

Field	Default	What it does
lookbackDays	3	USDOT registration dates in the window ending at endDate. The census lags about a day.
states	all	Physical-address states.
requireEmail, requirePhone	false	Keep only reachable carriers.
forHireOnly, interstateOnly, hazmatOnly	false	Narrow to your buyer.
minPowerUnits, maxPowerUnits	0 / 100000	Fleet size.
cargo	any	Substring of a cargo class, e.g. Refrigerated.
includeInactive	false	Include inactive or pending registrations.
onlyNew	false	Skip carriers already delivered to you.
maxResults	500	Hard cap on leads, and so on cost.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0025 per carrier lead delivered. Rows you filter out, and carriers already delivered in onlyNew mode, are free. A daily run of all new for-hire carriers with email (about 150–250 a weekday) costs about $0.40–$0.60.

Data source and limits

• The source is the FMCSA Company Census File, published by US DOT on data.transportation.gov (dataset az4n-8mr2, updated daily). Fields are as the carrier filed them on its MCS-150.
• MC numbers (operating authority dockets) are usually still empty on a brand-new registration. They appear once authority is granted, and dockets fills when they do.
• Insurance filings and out-of-service orders aren't included. Use the SAFER link for those.
• Respect the CAN-SPAM and TCPA rules that apply to how you contact these carriers.
