ComparisonCarrier Software DOT Leads vs Market Tracker

Licensed state by state,
or every state on one seat.

Carrier Software’s DOT Leads (the login at dot-leads.com) is the product most of the trade means when it says “DOT leads”. It is sold on a demo call and priced by the states you license, so working a second territory means paying for a second state. Market Tracker is one per-seat price with all fifty states and DC included, reads more of the record (filed cancellations, lapsed filings, MOTUS contacts) and adds insurance filed with the states themselves, starting with Texas, California and Washington. Here is the honest comparison, including where DOT Leads is ahead.

Feature by feature

Where they match,
where they differ.

Both products start from the public FMCSA record: census, licensing and insurance, authority, SMS and inspections. The differences are how the territory is priced, how much of the record reaches you with each carrier, and whether state filings sit beside the federal ones.

FAQ

DOT Leads or Market Tracker, answered.

What does DOT Leads cost?

Carrier Software does not publish a price for DOT Leads on carriersoftware.com or dot-leads.com as of October 2026. It is quoted on a demo call and priced by the states you license, so the bill grows with your territory. Market Tracker is $99 per user per month, or $69 per user per month on yearly billing, with all fifty states and DC on every seat and a self-serve trial.

What is dot-leads.com?

dot-leads.com is the customer login for DOT Leads, the prospecting product from Carrier Software (carriersoftware.com). The site has no public pages beyond the sign-in, so this comparison uses Carrier Software’s own product pages.

What data does Market Tracker have that DOT Leads does not?

Insurer-filed cancellations with the effective date, the day they post; active authorities with no BI/PD on file; every carrier’s filing history with the insurer and limit; MOTUS registration contacts; all 4.4 million registered USDOT numbers rather than 2.3 million; and insurance filed with the states. Texas intrastate carriers insured on a TxDMV Form E (about 32,000 of them, invisible in the FMCSA insurance file) show their insurer and renewal, California DMV permit insurers and Washington contractor insurance sit on the carrier file, each labelled with where it was filed.

Is Market Tracker a full alternative to DOT Leads?

For finding and qualifying motor carriers, yes, with more of the record attached to each one. DOT Leads is ahead in two places: lead assignment and tracking inside the product, and a longer list of search filters. If your team manages its pipeline inside the leads tool, DOT Leads earns that; Market Tracker expects you to export to the CRM you already run.

Can I try Market Tracker before paying?

Yes. The 7-day trial is self-serve with no demo call (a card starts it, but you pay $0 today and nothing until the week is up), and the free tools and public carrier directory let you check the data on carriers you know before you sign up.
