New trucking company leads for factoring and fuel cards

Why new carriers need factoring in the first 60 days

Brokers commonly pay carriers on Net 30 terms, and some on Net 45. Meanwhile the carrier has already spent $800 or more on fuel for the load, and the insurance premium and truck payment are due now (First 90 days as a new carrier).

Rough math: a carrier that hauls its first load in week one sees the first broker check around day 40 on Net 30, or around day 55 on Net 45. Every load in between is fuel paid out of pocket. That gap is the first 60 days.

A factor closes it: it buys the invoice and pays within about 24 hours of delivery (same guide). It looks at whether a creditworthy broker or shipper owes the invoice, not at how long the carrier has been in business. Many new carriers qualify shortly after their authority goes active, once they are registered and insured (Freight factoring for new authorities). So the weeks right after registration are when a new carrier picks its factor, and usually its fuel card with it.

What is in the file

Each Monday's file has every carrier registered in the last 21 days that was not in an earlier file. For example, our file for 2026-10-15 to 2026-10-21 had 1,866 carriers, 1,845 of them in the 50 states and DC, and every row had a phone number and an email address, as the carrier filed them. This week's counts are on the this-week page.

• For-hire: 1,320. 798 of them run interstate, and 635 of those 798 list general freight. The other 522 for-hire carriers run in-state only.
• Private fleets: 466. Businesses that haul their own goods, not for hire. They still buy fuel, but they have no freight invoices to factor.
• No operating type filed: 80.
• Small fleets: 513 of the 798 interstate for-hire carriers reported one truck, and 689 reported one or two.
• Trucks: the 1,320 for-hire carriers reported 2,607 trucks between them; the whole file, 4,560.

Columns: USDOT number, legal name, DBA name, company officer, street address, city, state, ZIP, country, mailing city and state, phone, cell phone, email, operation (interstate or intrastate), hazmat, carries passengers, trucks, drivers, date registered, cargo carried, operating type (for-hire, private, exempt) and a link to the carrier's FMCSA safety record.

You get a zip with the CSV, the same rows as JSON, and a plain-English guide to every column. A new file lands every Monday morning (US time) at the same download link, and each carrier appears in one file only.

Five real rows from our Oct 15-21 file

Phone numbers and emails are shortened here; the file has them in full. All five are interstate, for-hire general freight carriers with one or two trucks. Click a USDOT number to check that carrier on its public safety record.

This week's count for every state is on the new DOT leads page.

How reps use it Monday morning

1. Download the new file

   It lands Monday morning at the same link. Open it in Excel or Google Sheets.

2. Keep the carriers that haul for pay

   Factoring: Operation = Interstate and Operating Type containing "Authorized For Hire" (798 rows in the Oct 15-21 file). Fuel cards: keep every for-hire row (1,320).

3. Filter to your states

   In the Oct 15-21 file, Texas had 85 new interstate for-hire carriers, Florida 67, California 62, Pennsylvania 52 and Illinois 49.

4. Sort by Trucks and Cargo Carried

   Put General Freight first if your program focuses on broker loads, and multi-truck fleets on top if it has volume minimums.

5. Check the FMCSA record

   Click the record link. Authority still pending means no broker loads yet: a good time to set up factoring before the first one. Active means the first invoices may already be out.

6. Scrub, then dial by hand

   Check personal-looking numbers against the National Do Not Call Registry and call between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. their local time. No autodialers or marketing texts without written consent.

7. Email the rest and follow up

   One plain email that follows CAN-SPAM to each carrier you missed. A "not now" in week one may feel the cash gap by week six, so set 30 and 60 day follow-ups.

The full routine, with the contact rules, is in our guide to finding and reaching new trucking companies.

Price vs other new-carrier lead services

Rival prices from their public pricing pages; prices checked 2026-10-25. Several do more than we do (daily updates, dashboards, dialers). Ours is one plain weekly file for every state. See the full side-by-side comparison.

Before you start

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Email [email protected] from the address you used at checkout and we cancel. There is no contract. Charged by mistake? Email within 7 days of a charge for a full refund (see our refund policy).

When am I charged?

Never, for the free 7 days: we email you the full current file and take no card. If you then subscribe, Stripe checkout starts with 7 free days and charges $29 on day 8, then once a month, unless you cancel.

Will it open in Excel?

Yes. It is a plain CSV with a header row and one carrier per row. It opens in Excel or Google Sheets and imports into most CRMs and dialers. The same rows come as JSON too.

Does it include MC numbers?

No. The file lists new USDOT numbers, the first step a trucking company takes. Operating authority comes later for for-hire interstate carriers; every row's record link shows its authority status.

Is this from FMCSA?

No. Not affiliated with FMCSA, USDOT or any government agency. Rasengan Data is a private company. We rebuild the file every week from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Census, a public federal record. Contact details are as each carrier filed them.
