FMCSA New Carrier Leads – New Trucking Companies with Email, Phone & Owner Name

Every weekday, 300 to 500 new trucking companies get a USDOT number from FMCSA. In their first weeks they shop for truck insurance, factoring, an ELD, a dispatcher, fuel cards, IFTA and permit help. The vendor that reaches them first usually gets the deal. The ones that call later hear "already sorted".

This Actor gives you those new carriers straight from FMCSA's official Company Census File (data.transportation.gov, updated daily) as clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

Test run on 28 Oct 2026: 1,877 carriers registered in the previous 7 days, pulled in 30 seconds. All 1,877 had an email address and a phone number on file. 1,338 were for-hire. Top states: Texas 213, California 178, Florida 166.

Who uses it

• Commercial truck insurance agents: new authorities need insurance filed before they can haul. Filter forHireOnly + operation: Interstate.
• Freight factoring companies: new owner-operators (maxPowerUnits: 1) are short on cash flow from load one.
• ELD, fleet software, fuel card and dispatch services: reach fleets before they pick a vendor.
• Compliance and permit services: BOC-3, UCR, IFTA, drug and alcohol programs.
• Freight brokers: build a capacity list of new carriers in your lanes (states, cargoTypes).
• AI agents: works as a tool through Apify MCP. Ask "new for-hire carriers in Texas hauling refrigerated food this week".

FAQ

Where does the data come from? FMCSA's public Company Census File on data.transportation.gov (US DOT open data). We are not affiliated with FMCSA or US DOT.

Is the email verified? It is the email the carrier filed with FMCSA. We don't change it or guess it.

Is it legal to contact these carriers? The data is public. You are responsible for following CAN-SPAM, TCPA and do-not-call rules when you contact anyone.

Why do weekend days have fewer rows? FMCSA processes most registrations on weekdays.
