CarrierOk vs Rookiefeed
Reviewed · Numbers are Rookiefeed analysis as of , updated daily
CarrierOk is a carrier-intelligence platform covering every FMCSA registrant, with safety, fraud signals, monitoring, an API and a new-entrants directory. Rookiefeed does one job: a 7am email and CSV of every carrier granted authority the day before, with contacts and insurer. If you vet carriers as well as prospect them, CarrierOk does more. If you just want the daily list, Rookiefeed is simpler.
The short version
We read CarrierOk's public pages on October 2, 2026. We didn't use a logged-in trial, so features inside the app may exist that we couldn't see. Prices and features change; check their pricing page before you decide.
| CarrierOk | Rookiefeed | |
|---|---|---|
| What it covers | Every FMCSA registrant, 300+ fields | Carriers granted for-hire authority the previous day |

| Contacts | Primary contact, phone, cell, email, addresses | Officer names, phone with cells flagged, email, address |
| Insurance | Policy-level BIPD, cargo, bond, insurer, cancellations, lapse history | Insurer, BIPD coverage and effective date on file |

When CarrierOk is the better pick
- You vet carriers as well as sell to them. Brokers, 3PLs and factoring underwriters checking safety scores, fraud signals and insurance history get far more from CarrierOk. We don't do vetting at all.
- You want monitoring. CarrierOk alerts on changes to carriers you track. We only cover the day a carrier is granted.
- You need an API, a Chrome extension on DAT or Truckstop, or bulk feeds. We send email and CSV.
- You prospect established carriers too. CarrierOk covers every registrant; we only cover new grants.
- You need every state at the entry price. CarrierOk Pro is $149 a month for all states, with a 500-export cap. Our $149 plan covers one state.
When Rookiefeed is the better pick
- You want the list to come to you. Rookiefeed arrives in your inbox at 7am with nothing to set up. CarrierOk's directory is a saved filter you go back to.
- You want every new carrier in a big territory without counting exports. We tracked 5,591 new for-hire carrier grants in the last 30 days. CarrierOk Pro's 500 exports a month covers a fraction of that nationally, so a national export means the Team or Business tier or the API.
- You want first-time vs returning and days from application to grant on the row. We couldn't find either on CarrierOk's public pages.
- Your team shares one list. We don't price by seat.
Same source, different packaging
Both products track the same FMCSA registrations. CarrierOk says new registrants appear the day FMCSA records them, and Rookiefeed sends the new grants every morning. Neither can be fresher than FMCSA itself, so freshness shouldn't decide this.
What should decide it is the job. If your day is underwriting or vetting with some prospecting, CarrierOk's depth is worth it. If your day is calling and emailing carriers that were granted authority yesterday, a complete daily list with the owner's name, equipment and insurer is the part you'll use.

Trying Rookiefeed
Rookiefeed is $59 a month for one state once a week, $149 for one state every day, $299 for up to 8 states and $599 for every state, and you can cancel any time. Build a free list of carriers in your states to compare rows side by side with a CarrierOk trial. For other comparisons, see the TruckerDB alternative page.
Questions
- Is CarrierOk better than Rookiefeed?
- For carrier vetting, monitoring, safety data, an API or prospecting established carriers, yes: CarrierOk does far more. For a daily list of every newly granted carrier delivered by email with no export caps or seats, Rookiefeed is simpler. Pick by the job you do every day.
- How much does CarrierOk cost?
- On October 2, 2026 CarrierOk's pricing page listed Pro at $149 a month (1 user, 500 exports), Team at $349 (5 users, 3,000 exports), Business at $499 (10 users, 7,500 exports) and custom Enterprise pricing, with a 14-day trial that requires a card.
- Does CarrierOk have a new authority list?
- Yes. CarrierOk has a new entrants directory you can filter by state, grant date and authority age, and it separates authority grants from new USDOT registrations. It works as a saved filter in the web app rather than a list delivered to your inbox.
