ComparisonCarrier Software DOT Leads vs Market Tracker

The category leader,
and the newer read of the same record.

Carrier Software’s DOT Leads is the product most of the trade means when it says “DOT leads”: X-dates, CSA alerts, multi-state filters, form letters, used by more than a thousand producers. Market Tracker reads the same federal record with two lead types they do not list (filed cancellations with the effective date, and lapsed filings), the MOTUS contacts, ACORD autofill and a per-seat price you can see. Here is the honest comparison.

Feature by feature

Where they match,
where they differ.

Both products sit on the public FMCSA record: census, licensing and insurance, authority, SMS and inspection data. The differences are which signals each reads, how the carrier arrives with the lead, and how the seat is priced.

FAQ

DOT Leads or Market Tracker, answered.

What does Carrier Software DOT Leads cost?

Carrier Software does not publish pricing on carriersoftware.com or dot-leads.com as of September 2026; you request a quote. Market Tracker is $99 per user per month, or $69 per user per month on yearly billing, with every state included and a self-serve trial.

Is Market Tracker a full alternative to DOT Leads?

For finding motor carriers on federal data (X-dates, new ventures, safety, state and fleet filters) yes, and it adds filed-cancellation and lapsed-filing leads, MOTUS contacts, ACORD autofill and book monitoring. Two things DOT Leads has that Market Tracker does not: form letters and email marketing inside the product, and a longer list of search filters. If you send campaigns from the leads tool itself, DOT Leads earns that.

Do both use the same data?

Both are built on the public FMCSA record. Carrier Software cites direct DOT and FHWA data partnerships with daily updates on a 7-day refresh cycle. Market Tracker mirrors each federal dataset as it publishes (insurance and authority daily) and rebuilds the leads feed from the differences, so a cancellation filed yesterday is a lead today.

Can I try Market Tracker before paying?

Yes. The trial is self-serve with no demo call, and there are 19 permanently free tools plus a free public carrier directory, so you can check the data on carriers you know before you sign up.
