New trucking companies.
Every week.

What this list is

Every motor carrier operating in the United States must register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and receive a USDOT number. FMCSA publishes that register, and a new entry means a company that did not exist as a carrier the week before.

TriggerRank reads the census every week, matches each record against the authority and insurance filings behind it, and ranks what it finds. This page is the count from that run, with the identities removed.

Why new authority carriers are worth watching

A carrier in its first months buys nearly everything at once: insurance, factoring, dispatch, compliance filings, fuel cards, maintenance. Almost none of those relationships exist yet, and the ones formed in the first weeks tend to last. Calling a carrier in its first month is a different conversation from calling one three years in.

The stage on each card says how far along the carrier is. A company that has only a DOT number needs different things from one whose authority is pending, and one whose insurance has just lapsed needs a policy within roughly thirty days or loses the authority entirely.

What it is not

It is not a motor carrier leads list you can act on for free. Names, filing contacts and verified websites stay inside the paid feed. Nor is it a complete census: records that cannot be matched to a state, or that fail the quality checks, are held back rather than published with a guess.

Every number on this page comes from one weekly publication and is dated accordingly. Where a figure could not be verified, the figure is absent. Nothing here is filled in.

Carriers whose insurance filing has already been cancelled are not on this page. They have their own clock and their own list: truck insurance leads.

If you are weighing this against buying a database of a few hundred thousand carriers, the comparison is written out in the guide to trucking company email lists, numbers included.

Selling insurance rather than a service? The two weeks when a carrier has no choice but to buy are set out in the guide to insurance agent lead generation.
