Are FMCSA leads and motor carrier leads the same thing?

Yes. Both describe carriers registered with FMCSA under a USDOT number. TruckerFetch builds them from the FMCSA Company Census and publishes new registrations daily.

Can I filter by operation type?

Yes. Filter interstate, intrastate hazmat and intrastate non-hazmat operations, plus classification such as authorized for hire, exempt for hire or private property.

Are the emails and phone numbers verified?

They are the business contacts the carrier reported to FMCSA. We check the format and apply removal requests, but we don't test whether a mailbox or phone line works. Carriers sometimes report an outdated or shared contact, so plan for some bounces.

Why do I see companies that aren't trucking companies?

Any U.S. business that operates certain commercial vehicles needs a USDOT number, so the registry also includes contractors, landscapers, movers, tow operators and more. Use the niche, classification and cargo filters to keep only the carriers you serve, or to target those trades on purpose.

Can I see the data before paying?

Yes. A free account opens a real published daily edition as a sample, with the same fields and filters as the paid workspace.

No. Starter is $49 per month and Pro is $99 per month, billed monthly. Cancel anytime from the billing portal. There are no per-contact credits.

Motor carrier leads

Motor carrier leads straight from FMCSA records.

Motor carrier leads, FMCSA leads and DOT leads all start with the same public registry. TruckerFetch keeps it current, adds filters that match how you sell and publishes the new carriers every morning, with the email and phone each carrier reported.

Why TruckerFetch

The registry is public. Working it shouldn't be a project.

FMCSA publishes the data, but turning it into a call or email list means large downloads, cryptic codes and a lot of cleanup.

The old way

Multi-gigabyte Census files and field codes
Looking up carriers one at a time on SAFER
No easy way to see what changed since last month

Motor carrier, DOT and FMCSA leads: the same records, different names

A motor carrier is any business that operates commercial motor vehicles, and FMCSA tracks them by USDOT number. Sellers call the resulting lists motor carrier leads, DOT leads or FMCSA leads, but they all come from the same Company Census. What differs between providers is how fresh the data is, how well you can filter it and whether you get contact details the carrier reported.
