Compare / FMCSA new carrier leads
New trucking company data and FMCSA lead APIs compared (October 2026)
Where to get newly registered US trucking companies, with or without insurance status, as of 2026-10-22.
Disclosure: this page is written by Johto Data, which makes one of the tools listed. Apify prices are each listing's pay-per-event list price for the Apify FREE plan tier, pulled from the public Apify Store API (api.apify.com/v2/store) on 2026-10-22; paid Apify plans get small tier discounts. Prices change, so check each link before buying. We list what each vendor states; we did not benchmark their data quality.
Short answer
Pick Johto Data if you want new USDOT carriers with FMCSA authority and BI&PD insurance status joined in, filterable to 'no insurance on file yet', at $0.0018 per carrier with no subscription. Pick the raw FMCSA files if you have engineering time and want everything free; pick a hosted feed (New Trucking Companies, CarrierDaily) if you want an emailed digest or a dashboard instead of an API call.
