## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## FMCSA & USDOT Trucking Carrier Leads Scraper (Email, Phone & Fleet Size)

Extract verified **US motor carriers, trucking companies, owner-operators, and freight brokers** directly from the official **US Department of Transportation (USDOT) / FMCSA Motor Carrier Census** with decision-maker names (`officer1`, `officer2`), **direct email addresses**, **business & cell phone numbers**, **USDOT & MC docket numbers**, **fleet size (`powerUnits`, `truckUnits`, `ownedTractors`, `ownedTrailers`, `totalDrivers`, `cdlDrivers`)**, and **cargo specializations**.

- **$1.00 per 1,000 carrier leads** (`$0.001` per carrier, **$0 start fee**) — **50% to 89% cheaper** than other FMCSA scrapers on Apify Store (`$2.00–$9.23 / 1k`).
- **Zero proxy required (`$0.00` proxy cost)** — queries the official US DOT Socrata REST API directly at high speed (`256 MB` RAM).

***

### Who Uses This Actor?

- **Commercial Trucking Insurance Agencies & Underwriters:** Pull newly registered USDOT authorities (`addedSinceDate`) or active fleets (`minPowerUnits` / `maxPowerUnits`) with direct owner emails, cell phones, and MCS-150 update dates.
- **Freight Brokers (3PLs) & Dispatch Services:** Find active authorized-for-hire carriers (`forHireOnly: true`) by state, city, fleet size, and exact cargo type (**Refrigerated / Reefer**, **General Freight**, **Intermodal**, **Auto Hauler**, **Flatbed / Building Materials**, **Oilfield Equipment**, **Hazmat**).
- **Freight Factoring, Fuel Card & Fleet Finance Companies:** Target 1–50 truck owner-operators and growing regional fleets with direct Officer/Owner contact details (`officer1`, `email`, `phone`, `cellPhone`).
- **ELD, Telematics, Dashcam & Fleet Maintenance SaaS:** Build segmented outbound lists filtered by `minPowerUnits`, `cdlDrivers`, and interstate operation status.

## MCP server setup

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
