Where does Trucking Leads get its data?
From public files the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) publishes: carrier registrations, insurance filings, cancellations, authority status and revocations. We monitor them continuously and turn them into a short, ready-to-call list every week.
Which states are covered?
All 50 states and DC. Any carrier registered with FMCSA can appear, and your list is filtered to the states on your plan.
How fresh is the data?
Each weekly list is built from the newest filings available when it is generated. Insurers' filings show up in the FMCSA files a day or two after they are submitted, so a lead can be a few days behind. Cancellation dates are exact, so you can always see how much time is left.
Are renewal dates exact?
No. FMCSA publishes when a policy starts, not when it expires. We estimate the renewal as the next anniversary of the latest policy start date, and we label every renewal date as an estimate. Cancellation dates are different: they come straight from the filing and are exact.
Does every cancellation mean the carrier needs a new policy?
No. Many carriers cancel a policy because they already bought another one, or because their insurer re-filed it. Trucking Leads checks each cancellation against the carrier's other filings and hides the ones that already have a newer policy of the same coverage, so you do not spend calls on carriers that are covered.
If a carrier has no insurance filing, is it uninsured?
Not necessarily. Only interstate for-hire carriers are required to file proof of insurance with FMCSA. Intrastate and private carriers file nothing, so their insurer is unknown. A new carrier that holds an MC number but has no filing yet is a different case: it cannot legally haul until it buys a policy.
Can I call or text the carriers on the list?
Many carrier phone numbers are owner-operators' personal mobile phones, so Do-Not-Call and TCPA rules matter for your outreach. Manual dialing is the safe default, and you are responsible for compliant contact. Trucking Leads provides data, not legal advice.
Is this insurance advice or a quote tool?
No. Trucking Leads is a data product for licensed insurance professionals. It does not recommend coverage or provide quotes.
Can I choose which leads I get?
Yes. When you subscribe you pick your states and can narrow the list by fleet size, cargo type, local or long-haul operation, hazmat, and lead type, and leave out hard-to-place risks. Reply to any list email to change them.
What do I get besides contact details?
Each carrier comes with a priority ranking, a placement read (Standard, Specialty, Hard to place or New venture), a fleet profile with truck makes and model years where available, out-of-service rates and safety rating, flags such as an overdue registration update or a past suspension, and an email check.
How do I cancel?
Reply to any list email and ask. Plans are month to month, or yearly at ten times the monthly price.
