Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![FMCSA New Motor Carrier Leads: new authority, owner email and phone](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/9BAn0msnxToXlD9TO/records/fmcsa-banner.png) ## FMCSA New Motor Carrier Leads (with email + phone) Get **newly registered US trucking carriers** the week they get their authority, with the owner's **email and phone already included**, straight from the official FMCSA record. Built for truck insurance agents, freight factoring, ELD/dashcam, and dispatch services who need to reach new carriers in their first 30-90 days. ### What you get - Carriers whose FMCSA authority was registered in the last N days (you choose the window) - **Email and phone on the record** (no enrichment guesswork, no bounced patterns) - USDOT number, legal name + DBA, physical and mailing address, fleet size (power units), driver and CDL counts, and the SAFER snapshot link - Deduped by USDOT across runs, so a daily/weekly schedule only ever returns genuinely new carriers - Clean CSV, JSON, or webhook into your CRM ### Why the contact data is good These fields come from the carrier's own FMCSA filing, not a scrape-and-guess. On a live sample of the 200 newest active carriers (measured June 2026): **100% had an email, 100% had a phone, and 100% of those emails were on a mailbox-accepting (MX-valid) domain.** Most are owner-operators on a direct inbox, which is exactly who you want to reach. ### Who uses this - **Truck insurance agents** working new authorities before the competition - **Freight factoring** companies signing carriers early - **ELD / dashcam / TMS vendors** onboarding new fleets - **Dispatch services** building their carrier book ### Input | Field | What it does | |---|---| | `states` | Limit to specific states (e.g. `["TX","MI"]`), or leave empty for all US | | `daysBack` | Only carriers registered in the last N days (use 1-3 for a daily feed) | | `onlyNewSinceLastRun` | Skip carriers returned in a previous run (clean recurring feed) | | `requireEmail` | Only return carriers that have an email on file | | `requirePhone` | Only return carriers that have a phone or cell on file | | `carrierOperation` | `any`, `interstate`, or `intrastate` | | `minPowerUnits` | Minimum fleet size | | `maxResults` | Hard cap per run | | `socrataAppToken` | Optional free Socrata token to dodge shared-pool throttling on big pulls | | `webhookUrl` | Optional. POST each batch of leads to your endpoint as JSON | | `webhookBatchSize` | Records per webhook POST (default 100) | ### Output (one row per carrier) `legal_name, dba_name, usdot, email, phone, cell_phone, street, city, state, zip, mailing_*, power_units, total_drivers, total_cdl, business_type, carrier_operation, carrier_operation_label, registered_date, safer_url` Grab it three ways: export the Apify dataset as **JSON / CSV / Excel**, pull it from the dataset API, or set `webhookUrl` and we'll POST batches straight to your CRM as `{ source, count, records: [...] }`. Phone numbers come back normalized to `+1XXXXXXXXXX`. ### Example output One row per new carrier (sample, fields trimmed for readability): ```json [ { "legal_name": "RIO GRANDE HAULING LLC", "dba_name": null, "usdot": "4123987", "email": "dispatch@riograndehauling.com", "phone": "+19565550142", "cell_phone": "+19565550199", "city": "Pharr", "state": "TX", "power_units": 2, "total_drivers": 2, "business_type": "LLC", "carrier_operation_label": "Interstate", "registered_date": "20260618", "safer_url": "https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?query_string=4123987" } ] ```` ### Pricing Pay per result. You're charged once per **new** carrier lead delivered (deduped by USDOT), so a recurring schedule never bills you twice for the same carrier. Run it once to try it. ### Freshness New carriers register with FMCSA every day (hundreds nationwide). Schedule this daily with `daysBack: 2` and you get a steady flow of brand-new authorities with contact info, the moment they go active. ### FAQ #### How do I get new motor carrier leads every day? Schedule the actor daily with `daysBack: 2` and `onlyNewSinceLastRun` on. You get only the carriers that filed new authority since your last run, contact info included, no repeats. #### Where does the FMCSA carrier data come from? The official FMCSA carrier census (`data.transportation.gov`), public record, logged out. No gated or personal-consumer data. #### Are the carrier emails verified? They're the email the carrier filed with FMCSA, and we confirm the domain accepts mail (MX-valid). For hard inbox verification, run them through your own verifier or ask about an enriched tier. #### Can I pull new carriers for just one state? Yes, set `states` (e.g. `["TX","MI"]`). Leave it empty for all of the US. #### Will it return the same carrier twice? No. It dedupes by USDOT across runs, so a recurring schedule only ever shows genuinely new authorities. ### About Built and maintained by a team that runs lead pipelines daily. Questions or a broken field? We respond fast in the Issues tab. # Actor input Schema ## `states` (type: `array`): Limit to these states, e.g. \["MI","TX"]. Leave empty for all US states. ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): Only return carriers whose FMCSA add\_date is within the last N days. Use a small number (1-3) for a daily fresh feed. ## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`): Skip any carrier (by USDOT number) already returned in a previous run of this actor. Turn this on for a clean recurring feed. ## `requireEmail` (type: `boolean`): Drop records that have no email on file. ~100% of brand-new carriers have one. ## `requirePhone` (type: `boolean`): Drop records that have no phone or cell on file. ## `carrierOperation` (type: `string`): Filter by how the carrier operates. ## `minPowerUnits` (type: `integer`): Only carriers with at least this many trucks. 0 = no minimum. Most new authorities are 1-5 trucks. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on records returned this run. ## `socrataAppToken` (type: `string`): Free Socrata app token (data.transportation.gov) to avoid shared-pool throttling on big or frequent pulls. Can also be set via the SOCRATA\_APP\_TOKEN env var. ## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`): If set, delivered leads are POSTed here as JSON in batches: { source, count, records: \[...] }. Leave empty to only use the Apify dataset (JSON/CSV/Excel export). ## `webhookBatchSize` (type: `integer`): How many records per webhook POST. ## Actor input object example ```json { "states": [], "daysBack": 7, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true, "requireEmail": true, "requirePhone": false, "carrierOperation": "any", "minPowerUnits": 0, "maxResults": 1000, "webhookUrl": "", "webhookBatchSize": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
