The Official Federal Motor Carrier Database

The FMCSA — Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration — maintains a public census of every active motor carrier registered to operate commercially in the United States. This database, known as the FMCSA DOT Census or MCMIS (Motor Carrier Management Information System), is the authoritative government source for U.S. trucking company data.

Every major trucking data provider — from enterprise platforms to smaller list brokers — sources their data from this same federal database. There is no separate premium source. The FMCSA DOT Census is the source. Carrier Data USA gives you direct access to this data as a clean CSV download for a one-time $99 payment, with no subscription required.

The current database contains over 1.6 million active motor carrier records across all 50 states, covering every carrier type registered with the federal government: general freight, specialty, construction, refrigerated, oilfield, agricultural, and dozens more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FMCSA carrier database public?
Yes. The FMCSA DOT Census is a federal government public database. It is maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration under the U.S. Department of Transportation. Anyone can access individual records through the FMCSA SAFER system, and the bulk dataset is available for commercial use.
How current is the data?
The Carrier Data USA dataset is pulled directly from the FMCSA DOT Census and reflects active carrier registrations. Carriers that have voluntarily revoked authority, been placed out of service, or gone inactive are excluded. The FMCSA updates its records on a rolling basis as carriers file changes.
Can I filter by carrier type or state?
The full national list includes all carrier types and all 50 states in one CSV. You can filter by state or carrier type yourself in Excel, Google Sheets, or your CRM. We also offer 30 pre-filtered vertical lists on our Industry Lists page if you prefer a pre-segmented file.
Is this legal to use for marketing?
Yes. The FMCSA DOT Census is a public federal dataset. Using publicly available B2B business contact information for commercial outreach is standard and legal practice under CAN-SPAM, provided you include an unsubscribe mechanism and your physical address. Every major trucking industry vendor does exactly this.
How do I receive the file?
Immediately after payment through Stripe, you receive a secure download link by email. The CSV file is ready to import into Mailchimp, HubSpot, Salesforce, ActiveCampaign, or any other platform without reformatting.
What makes this different from pulling FMCSA data myself?
Pulling, cleaning, deduplicating, and formatting raw FMCSA data requires significant technical work. Carrier Data USA has already done this — the result is a clean, deduplicated, CRM-ready CSV with all relevant contact fields, delivered instantly for a one-time $99.
