FMCSA Carrier Leads – New US Trucking Companies (USDOT Census)

Get fresh US trucking company leads from the official FMCSA Company Census File: USDOT number, legal/DBA name, phone, email, address, power units (trucks), drivers, cargo types, hazmat flag and date added to FMCSA. Filter by state, operating status, fleet size and registration date. Schedule it daily with New since last run and you only get carriers you haven't seen yet.

No API key, no login, no scraping. The data comes from the U.S. DOT open-data portal (data.transportation.gov, dataset az4n-8mr2), which is updated daily.

Who uses it

• Truck insurance agents: reach new authorities in their first weeks.
• Factoring, fuel card and ELD vendors: build a daily feed of new fleets.
• Freight brokers: find carriers by state, fleet size and cargo type.
• Compliance / DOT filing services, dispatch services, truck dealers, market researchers.

Features

• Filter by state(s), status (active/inactive), date added range or rolling added in the last N days, min/max power units, interstate/intrastate operation, hazmat only, email required and name contains.
• New since last run: the DOT numbers you've already received are stored in a named key-value store (per stateKey), so scheduled runs return only new carriers.
• Clean, normalized JSON: ISO dates, numbers instead of strings, cargo list in plain English, a SAFER snapshot link.
• Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or use the API, Zapier, Make or Google Sheets.
