New Motor Carriers: Newly Registered Trucking Companies

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), or any government agency. No government seals or logos are used.

Export every USDOT number added to the public carrier census file in a date window, newest first. It's for freight brokers screening new entrants, truck insurance, ELD, fuel-card and factoring providers sizing new markets, and analysts tracking new-carrier formation by state.

Input: a window on the USDOT add date (daysBack, or since / until), states, for-hire class, operation, entity type, hazmat and fleet size.

Output: one row per new USDOT record: USDOT number, legal and DBA name (see Privacy), add date, status, operation, entity types, for-hire classification, MC dockets, city / state / ZIP5, fleet size, cargo classes, hazmat flag and vetting flags.

New USDOT records often have no operating authority or insurance yet. Confirm on the official SAFER company snapshot and licensing & insurance records before doing business with a carrier.

Input

• daysBack: 1 to 366 (default 7), or since and until as YYYY-MM-DD (window up to 366 days)
• forHire: yes (AUTHORIZED FOR HIRE only), no, or any
• states, usdotStatus, operation, entityType, hazmat, minPowerUnits, maxPowerUnits
• maxResults: up to 50,000

The census file usually trails new registrations by about one day, so today's registrations appear tomorrow.

Privacy. This is a business feed, not a contact list. Officer names, phone, fax, cell phone, email and D&B numbers are never returned. The street line and ZIP+4 are withheld on every record (city, state and ZIP5 stay). For records that look like individuals or sole proprietors, the legal and DBA names are withheld too. Registered names of individuals are available only through an exact USDOT or MC lookup.
