FMCSA Carrier Scraper — DOT Lookup & Trucking Leads API
Search the official FMCSA Company Census by trucking-company name or exact USDOT number. The source is published through the U.S. Department of Transportation Open Data program, requires no API key, and is refreshed daily from an approximately 24-hour-old FMCSA database.
What it returns
- USDOT number, legal name, and DBA name
- Active, inactive, or pending registration status
- MC/MX/FF operating-authority docket numbers and status codes
- FMCSA safety rating and review dates when available
- Power units, trucks, buses, drivers, CDL drivers, mileage, and fleet size
- Phone, cell phone, fax, email, physical address, and mailing address when reported
- Hazardous-material indicator and reported cargo classifications
- Official DOT source URL and record freshness fields
Quick test
{"carrierName": "Swift Transportation","statusCode": "A","maxResults": 10}
Exact USDOT lookup:
{"dotNumber": "54283"}
Search active Texas carriers by name:
{"carrierName": "Transport","state": "TX","statusCode": "A","maxResults": 25}
Common workflows
- Freight-broker and shipper carrier onboarding
- Commercial-auto insurance and transportation risk review
- Trucking-company lead generation and fleet-size segmentation
- USDOT/MC authority enrichment for CRM or vendor records
- Carrier registration-status and contact-data checks
Input
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
carrierName | One of name/DOT | Searches legal and DBA names. |
dotNumber | One of name/DOT | Exact USDOT lookup; takes precedence over name. |
state | No | Two-letter physical-address state filter. |
statusCode | No | A active, I inactive, or P pending. |
maxResults | No | Total response cap, 1–100. |
If no carrier name or DOT number is supplied, the Actor uses the deterministic Swift Transportation USDOT 54283 fixture so first runs and Store quality tests return useful output quickly.
Data scope and caveats
This Actor uses the official Company Census File, not the retired keyed QCMobile API. It does not claim CSA BASIC scores, real-time insurance filings, or complete crash/inspection history. Safety ratings and authority fields are returned only when present in the official census record. FMCSA says the daily file is approximately 24 hours behind and may differ from systems with other refresh schedules.
