FMCSA New Trucking Carrier Leads (USDOT census)

New trucking companies from the official US DOT carrier census: company, officer, phone, email, address, fleet size and operation type. Filter by registration date, state and power units. Leads for truck insurance, factoring, ELD, dispatch, fuel cards and fleet services.

What you can use it for

• Truck insurance agents: new authorities need coverage before they can haul.
• Factoring and fuel-card companies: reach carriers in their first month.
• Dispatch services and ELD vendors: owner-operators with 1 to 5 trucks.
• Market research: new carrier registrations by state, week over week.

Why this one

• Official government open data only: no logins, no scraping of private sites, nothing that breaks.
• One clean, flat format you can drop into a spreadsheet, CRM or Zapier/Make.
• Pay only for results: $2.50 per 1,000 carriers. No monthly fee.

Input

• Registered in the last N days (registeredWithinDays)
• States (2-letter) (states): Leave empty for all states.
• Operation (operation)
• Min power units (trucks) (minPowerUnits)
• Max power units (trucks) (maxPowerUnits)
• Only carriers with an email (requireEmail)
• Only carriers with a phone (requirePhone)
• Max carriers (maxResults)

Schedule it

Run it daily or weekly with an Apify schedule and send new rows to Google Sheets, Slack or your CRM through Apify integrations.

How much it costs

You pay per result (pay-per-event), nothing per month and nothing when a run returns nothing. The price is $2.50 per 1,000 carriers on the Free plan, with automatic discounts on paid plans (Bronze −5%, Silver −10%, Gold −15%, Platinum −20%).

Worked examples:

• 100 carriers → $0.25
• 1,000 carriers → $2.50
• 10,000 carriers → $25.00
• Plus $0.001 per run start.

Platform usage (compute, storage) is included in the price: the actor runs at a small memory setting by default, so a typical run of 1,000 carriers finishes in well under a minute.

FAQ

Can I call or email these carriers?

The data is public FMCSA registration data, but many rows are sole proprietors with personal phone numbers: cold calls and texts fall under the TCPA and state rules. Use it lawfully.

Why are some fields empty?

A field is null when the source does not publish it for that row. The output keeps every column so your spreadsheet or integration always sees the same shape.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules (daily, hourly, cron) and connect the run to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, a webhook or the API. Each run writes a dataset you can download as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Is there a free trial?

The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit, enough to try this actor on a few hundred results at no cost. There is no subscription for the actor itself.

Can an AI agent use this?

Yes. The actor is available through Apify's MCP server and the API, so LLM agents (Claude, ChatGPT, LangChain, CrewAI) can call it as a tool with the same input.

What happens if something fails?

Runs log every skipped item with a reason. If the source is down, the actor stops cleanly and you are only charged for the results it returned.

Integrations

• API: start a run with POST /v2/acts/larkmoor~fmcsa-new-carriers/runs and read the dataset with GET /v2/datasets/{datasetId}/items?format=csv. Client libraries exist for JavaScript and Python (apify-client).
• No-code: Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets connectors are built into the Apify Console (Integrations tab of the actor).
• Webhooks: fire a URL when a run finishes.
• AI agents: available as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

Changelog

• 2026-10-18 — Lower price with Bronze/Silver/Gold discounts; smaller default memory (cheaper runs); clean table view of results; FAQ and cost examples; input defaults reviewed.
