It's a list of trucking companies whose FMCSA operating authority (their MC number) just went active, meaning they can legally haul freight for hire across state lines. Factoring companies, dispatchers, insurance agents and fuel card sales reps use it to reach carriers in their first weeks of business. ### How many new trucking companies get authority each day? FMCSA granted for-hire operating authority to 5,123 trucking companies in the 30 days ending November 15, 2026, about 208 per business day. Another 7,635 carriers filed new applications in the same window, and 319 freight brokers were granted authority. ### How long does it take FMCSA to grant MC authority? Across the 4,904 first-time carriers FMCSA granted authority to between October 17, 2026 and November 15, 2026, the median time from application to active authority was 23 calendar days. Half took between 15 and 49 days, and 90% were active within 84 days. Authority can't go active until the carrier's insurance (BMC-91/91X) and process agent (BOC-3) filings are on record, so a slow filing stretches the wait. ### How is the list put together? Every morning Rookiefeed picks up the carriers FMCSA granted authority to (and the new applications), adds the owner contact, fleet and insurance details for each one, cleans up names and addresses and removes duplicates. Each carrier reaches you once. ### When does the email arrive? Around 7am Central on any day with new filings. FMCSA publishes most grants on business days, so weekend emails are lighter, and a day with nothing new sends nothing. ### Can I call and text these numbers? You are responsible for your outreach. Manual calls and compliant cold email are fine for most businesses. Autodialed or prerecorded calls and marketing texts to cell numbers need prior express written consent under the TCPA, even for business owners, and commercial email must follow CAN-SPAM. Cell numbers are flagged in the CSV for that reason. ### What's the difference between a granted authority and a new application? A new application means the carrier filed with FMCSA and is waiting, usually three to six weeks. A grant means the authority is active and the carrier can take loads. The feed defaults to grants; you can switch on new applications in the dashboard to reach carriers even earlier. ### Is there a free trial? There's a free sample: download ten real rows from the latest day, unmasked, in the same CSV format the paid feed uses. To get the daily email for your own state first, the 7-day trial is $19, then it becomes the State plan at $149 a month unless you cancel before it ends. You can cancel any time from the billing page. ### How much does it cost? Weekly is $59 a month (one state, one email every Monday), State is $149 a month (one state), Regional is $299 a month (up to 8 states), Nationwide is $599 a month (every state). Yearly billing gets two months free. Every plan has the same data and filters; the daily plans differ only in the number of states. One signed carrier usually covers a year of it. ### Can I get only brokers, or only certain states? Yes. The dashboard filters by state, fleet size, first-time authority and whether there's an email, and can add broker authorities and new applications. The daily email follows your saved filters. ### Who runs Rookiefeed? Great Work LLC, a small independent software company. There's no call center between you and the people who build the feed: email hello@greatwork.company and we reply within one business day. We aren't affiliated with FMCSA, USDOT or any factoring company, and we don't sell or share subscriber data. ### Can I cancel? Cancel any time from the Billing button on your dashboard, with no contract or call. You keep access until the end of the month you paid for. On the 7-day trial, cancel before day 7 and the $19 is all you pay. ### Is the list exclusive to me? Not on the regular plans: every subscriber who covers a state gets the same new carriers that morning. The exception is the founding offer for the first 10 insurance agents, where we won't sell your state to another insurance agent. What you get is the list by 7am Central the morning after the grant, with the owner contact, fleet and insurer already matched. ### How do you know which numbers are cell phones? A number is flagged as a cell when the carrier itself listed it as a cell phone when it registered with FMCSA. A cell entered as the main business number isn't flagged, and that's most of them: in a sample of 200 main numbers checked in November 2026, about 9 in 10 were cell phones. So treat every number as a cell: no autodialed or prerecorded calls or marketing texts without prior express written consent. ### How accurate are the emails and phone numbers? They are what the carrier filed with FMCSA when it registered, usually a few weeks before the grant. In a check of 30 days of grants in November 2026 (5,889 carriers), 99.6% of emails were on a domain set up to receive mail, and only 4 emails and 12 phone numbers appeared on more than one carrier, so these are the carriers' own contacts and not a filing service's. We don't test each mailbox, so some emails will still bounce and some numbers will have changed. Tell us about a bad row at hello@greatwork.company. ### Can my team use one subscription? Yes, inside your own business. The terms allow use by your team and in your CRM, so forward the email or share the CSV with coworkers. Each subscription has one login and one daily email; if your team needs several recipients or separate territories, email hello@greatwork.company and we'll set it up. Reselling or republishing the feed isn't allowed. --- Rookiefeed is a Great Work LLC product. Not affiliated with FMCSA or USDOT. Contact: hello@greatwork.company
