New Trucking Companies: FMCSA new carrier leads (new USDOT numbers)

Get a fresh list of new trucking companies that just registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA): every new USDOT number added in the last day, week or month, with the business name, DBA, MC number, fleet size (power units and drivers), cargo carried, interstate or intrastate operation, business address and business phone.

About 9,000 new motor carriers register with FMCSA every month. This Actor turns the official US DOT open data into a clean new carrier list you can filter by state, ZIP, fleet size, cargo and for-hire status, then download as Excel, CSV or JSON, or schedule as a daily new DOT number feed.

Free to try: Apify's free plan ($5/month in credit, no card needed) covers about 3,300 records a month. Price: $1.50 per 1,000 results, below typical FMCSA tools in the Store.

No browser, no proxies, no login, no API key. Data comes straight from the FMCSA Company Census File on data.transportation.gov (US DOT's official open-data portal), so runs take seconds.

What's in the new trucking companies list?

• Business name, DBA and entity type
• USDOT number, MC docket, date added
• Power units, trucks, drivers, CDL drivers
• Cargo carried, hazmat, for-hire classification
• Business address, city, state, ZIP and business phone

Source: FMCSA Company Census File, US DOT open data (data.transportation.gov).
How fresh is it? FMCSA updates the Company Census File on US DOT open data daily; new carriers usually appear a day or two after they register.

Privacy by design

• Businesses only. Carriers registered under a personal name (owner-operators without an LLC, Inc or similar) are always left out, so no individual's name is returned.
• No officer names, emails or cell phones are requested from the source.
• Apartment-style addresses are withheld (city, state and ZIP stay).

Tips

• FMCSA posts new registrations with a lag of a day or two. For a daily feed, schedule the Actor every morning with withinDays: 3 and dedupe on dotNumber.
• New carriers often get their MC number a few weeks after the USDOT number. Use forHireOnly to focus on carriers that will need cargo and liability insurance.
• RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store shows how many records were scanned and how many individuals were skipped.

Data: FMCSA Company Census File (US DOT open data, public domain). Not affiliated with or endorsed by FMCSA or US DOT. Always verify a carrier on SAFER before acting.
