Can I buy a one-time trucking leads list?

Not as a one-off file. The list is new every morning, so it's sold by month: $59 for one state weekly up to $599 for every state daily, cancel any time. The free list builder gives 25 carriers to judge it first.

Is it legal to call and email these leads?

Manual calls and CAN-SPAM compliant cold email to business contacts are fine for most sellers. Autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell numbers need prior express written consent under the TCPA, which is why cells are flagged.

Every for-hire carrier FMCSA granted operating authority to since the last email, with the owner contact, fleet and insurance details Rookiefeed adds to each one. We aren't affiliated with FMCSA.

Trucking leads: a daily list of carriers that just got authority

Reviewed October 8, 2026 · Numbers are Rookiefeed analysis as of October 19, 2026, updated daily

Rookiefeed's trucking leads are the for-hire carriers FMCSA granted operating authority the day before, about 237 per business day, sent by 7am Central with the owner's name, phone, email, fleet size, equipment and insurer. Below: what kinds of trucking lead lists exist, real volumes by state, and what each lead costs.

Four kinds of trucking lead lists

They track different moments in a carrier's start and suit different sellers. Pick the one that matches the moment your customer buys.

List	What it is	Monthly volume	Best for
New USDOT registrations	Every new DOT number, for-hire and private, interstate and intrastate	About 15,000 (TruckerDB's figure)	DOT compliance, ELD and services every new fleet needs
New MC authorities (this list)	For-hire carriers whose operating authority was just granted	5,591 in the 30 days to October 19, 2026	Factoring, dispatch, truck insurance, fuel cards
New applications	Carriers that applied for authority but aren't active yet	8,044	Getting in before the authority is granted
Established carrier databases	Every active carrier, with safety and inspection history	The full FMCSA register	Renewals, vetting, selling to fleets with a track record

What's on each lead, as of October 19, 2026

Last 30 days: 5,591 new for-hire carriers. 99.8% had an email on file, 100% a phone, 98.9% liability insurance filed, and 97.9% were first-time authorities rather than returning carriers.

Legal and DBA name, MC and USDOT numbers, grant date, days from application to grant, first-time or returning
Owner and officer names, business phone, cell (flagged for TCPA), email, street address
Power units, drivers, interstate or intrastate, hazmat, an equipment guess from registered cargo
Insurer, BIPD coverage and effective date from the FMCSA filing

How many leads a month, by state

New for-hire MC authorities in the 30 days to October 19, 2026. The State plan is $149 a month for one state, so the cost per lead is the plan price over that count.

State	New carriers, 30 days	Cost per lead on the State plan
Texas	642	23 cents
California	578	26 cents
Florida	435	34 cents
Illinois	344	43 cents
Ohio	287	52 cents
Pennsylvania	282	53 cents
Georgia	207	72 cents
North Carolina	204	73 cents

Price per lead, compared fairly

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. Nationwide works out to about 11 cents per new carrier.

TruckerDB is cheaper per row: its Starter plan is $49 a month for about 15,000 new DOT registrations, under a cent each by its own math (checked October 8, 2026). Those rows include private and intrastate fleets and carry no fleet size, equipment or insurer. If you sell to every new DOT holder, that's the better buy; if you sell to carriers that can haul for pay this week, a granted authority is the better signal. Full comparison.

Leads by what you sell

Freight factoring: factoring leads, first-time authorities with 1 to 5 trucks
Truck insurance: truck insurance leads, with the insurer already on file
Dispatch: owner-operator leads, one or two trucks and the freight they haul
Hotshot: hotshot trucking leads, small non-tractor flatbed and car-hauler outfits
