Three new ways to build a prospect list on Carriers: the month a policy renews, tow and recovery companies, and sand, gravel and dirt haulers. The Carrier File's fleet, inspection and risk figures now read from the whole record.
Market Tracker
Filter Carriers by the month a policy renews: November lists every carrier whose estimated renewal falls in November. The month is always the next one to come, so a saved October view moves on to next October by itself. The add-filter menu offers the next few months as one-click chips.
A new Segment filter, Towing & recovery, finds tow companies. FMCSA records no tow-truck equipment type, so it reads the legal and DBA name (towing, tow, wrecker, rollback, roadside, repo); typing "tow" in the add-filter menu lands on it.
Cargo now includes what carriers wrote under Other on their MCS-150: dump and aggregate haulers show as Sand & Gravel and Dirt & Fill, and as Building Materials or Lumber when the text names them. The Carrier File marks these and shows the text as filed.
The Cargo filter has a search box, and the Cargo, Operation and Operates in counts follow the other filters you have set. A cargo type with a comma in its name ("Machinery, Large Objects") filters as one type.
The Carrier File's fleet figure adds the trucks inspections have seen when that is clearly more than the carrier reported, as in "18 filed · 41 seen".
Inspection totals on the Carrier File count every inspection in FMCSA's rolling 36-month file, not only the latest 250 the list shows.
The risk score counts a safety category our ISS estimate puts over FMCSA's intervention threshold, so a carrier with an estimated alert no longer reads Low, and the Carrier File shows the estimated percentiles.
Owners and admins see the team's invoices (with PDF download) and the card on file on the Subscription page, without opening the billing portal.
MCP connector
A new carrier_profiles tool opens up to 50 carriers in one call, each counted as one lookup, so a search followed by its profiles no longer takes one call per carrier.
Platform and data
Cargo insurance, cargo bonds and broker surety filed in FMCSA's live record no longer count as BI/PD, so a carrier insured only for cargo stops reading as BI/PD on file.
Insured carriers are now verified against FMCSA's live registration record too, renewal dates follow the policy anniversary even when a filing posted months late, and the filing history shows how each policy ended and the limit that was filed. Texas intrastate carriers insured on a Form E count as insured.
Platform and data
Texas intrastate carriers whose BI/PD liability is filed with the Texas DMV on a Form E, rather than with FMCSA, now count as insured: about 32,000 carriers, with their insurer and the policy anniversary as the estimated renewal. Their carrier pages say where the filing sits. Insurer rankings and the public no-filing report still count federal filings only.
Carriers FMCSA's own authority record lists with BI/PD on file are now checked against its live registration record whatever their authority status, so filings the public feeds missed on inactive-authority or inactive-USDOT carriers are found too.
Insured carriers are now checked against FMCSA's live MOTUS record as well, not only the ones that look uninsured, and again after each policy anniversary. A renewal or insurer switch that no public FMCSA dataset carries now shows up as the current policy, a filing MOTUS has ended stops reading Active, and a Carrier File opened more than a day after its last check is checked again on the spot. The file shows the date as Verified in MOTUS on.
Renewal dates follow the policy anniversary when a filing posted months after the policy took effect (a reinstatement or a late filing), instead of landing a year after the posting date. Filings whose posting date was too old to estimate from now get an anniversary renewal date too.
Market Tracker
The 7-day free trial now starts with a card on file, and opens the whole web app from day one, exports and carrier phone and email included. The connector is included too, with 50 lookups for the team during the trial. Nothing is charged until the 7 days are up, and cancelling before then means you are never charged.
The Carriers grid's default view now includes the carriers whose USDOT reads inactive only because the biennial MCS-150 update is overdue, while their operating authority and BI/PD filing are live: about 27,500 insured, operating carriers. Each is labelled Inactive USDOT · MCS-150 overdue in the grid, the peek and exports, and MCS-150 overdue is its own value in the Status filter; leave only Active checked to set them aside.
The Carrier File's filing history shows one row for each time a policy ended, marked Replaced or Cancelled as FMCSA recorded it, with the limit that was actually filed rather than the carrier's current required minimum. A policy that ended more than once shows every ending, and one FMCSA ended without publishing a date says so instead of reading Active.
Census facts read the way FMCSA means them: fleet size follows FMCSA's own size codes (a 9-truck fleet no longer shows 101 to 500 power units), drivers listed as both interstate and intrastate are counted once, and the recordable crash rate only appears when FMCSA published one. A power-unit total the carrier's own equipment lines do not add up to is noted beside it.
When a carrier's census says it does not haul hazmat, the Carrier File shows any hazmat evidence on its record: roadside inspections with hazmat violations, and a BI/PD minimum at FMCSA's level for oil and hazmat cargo.
The new-carrier section of Leads is now called New USDOT registrations, which is what it lists: carriers by the date they registered, usually before any operating authority is granted. In Carriers exports, the column with that date is now headed USDOT Registered (it was Authority Date).
Carrier directory
Public carrier pages call the census registration date USDOT registered, count drivers listed as both interstate and intrastate once, and show when the carrier's insurance was last verified in FMCSA's live record.
A new Insurers tab ranks every writing paper and shows who is winning and losing carriers to whom. Insurance status is reconciled with FMCSA's live registration record, renewal dates follow the policy anniversary, and the carriers the public feeds hid come back into view.
Market Tracker
A new Insurers tab: every writing paper ranked by carriers on file, with the carriers it won and lost, and to whom, over the switching window. Open an insurer for its book by state, fleet, haul range, risk and cargo, the insured-carrier trend, the switching flows in and out, the latest moves, and renewal windows on its book that open the Carriers grid ready to work. The writing-paper column on Carriers and the Top insurers panel on Trends link straight to a profile.
Switching counts include the moves the public filing feed reported as a cancellation and a later re-entry on different paper, and a publish that brought re-verified carriers back into the index is marked on the trend as a coverage step, not as growth.
Platform and data
FMCSA moved carrier registration to a new system this year, and after May the public filing feeds stopped carrying most renewal filings. Every carrier that shows active authority with no filing is now checked against the live registration record daily, so a carrier that renewed on its anniversary reads as insured and the public no-filing report counts only carriers that are actually bare.
Operating authority no longer flips between active and inactive as three federal sources disagree: one precedence rule decides, and the change journal ignores the blips. Watch List authority alerts stop repeating.
Carriers whose USDOT number reads inactive only because the biennial MCS-150 update was missed, while their authority and insurance are live, are included in Leads, the lead pulls and the state lead pages with an MCS-150 overdue badge.
Market Tracker
Renewal dates for policies that never re-file: a continuous BI/PD filing older than a year now carries its next policy anniversary as the estimated renewal, labelled as an anniversary estimate. Exports, lead pulls, Watch List renewal alerts and the connector carry the basis (filing, anniversary or transaction).
A phone or email that many carriers list (a registration service, a permit filer, a fleet office) is marked as shared in the grid, on Leads and in exports, so a call list does not lead to the same front desk twenty times. Placeholder numbers render as a dash.
Three new export columns: Renewal Basis, Phone Shared By and Email Shared By, plus USDOT Status.
Start a trial without a card: the product opens on signup, and exports plus the connector unlock once a card is on file. Carrier phone and email show once a card is on file as well. (Retired on Sep 23 2026: trials now start with a card on file.)
Carrier directory
Public carrier pages say whether "no filing on record" was checked against the live federal record, and when.
Agents can request a quote on a carrier page, save the carrier file as a PDF and watch the carrier in one step; the public snapshot masks phone and email until you are signed in.
New public pages for trucking insurance leads: X-date leads, DOT leads, cancellation leads, new-venture leads and the motor carrier database, with state pages.
The by-state lists of new carriers now say what they are: every USDOT number registered this month, with each carrier's operating-authority status (active, pending or none on record) next to its insurance status, on the page, in the CSV and in the monthly email. Nearly all of these carriers are registered but not yet granted authority, which is what makes the list worth working.
Free tools
The ACORD tools offer to connect your agency management system after a download.
The insurance cost estimator page has been retired; the ACORD tools point at the services offer instead.
Docs
Documentation for the Insurers tab: the league table, the switching window and what a profile shows.
Docs and guides updated for the live-record check, anniversary renewal dates, shared contacts and MCS-150 overdue carriers; the verification guide explains what the public feed has missed since May 2026.
Filed cancellations before they take effect, the footprint down to the county, and any single inspection opened up in full.
Market Tracker
Filed cancellations: a cancellation an insurer has filed with a future effective date shows on the carrier, in Leads and in Watch List alerts before the coverage actually ends.
Filter and report the operating footprint by metro area and county, not only by state.
Open any inspection from the Carrier File to see every violation recorded on it, with the detail behind each one.
The intrastate non-hazmat safety population is now covered, so an intrastate carrier gets its BASIC measures and an ISS estimate scored against the right peer group.
Monthly teams can switch to annual billing from the subscription page.
Fixed: the Display menu scrolled inside a second scrollbar.
Free tools
A free underwriter report on any carrier: authority, insurance, safety and footprint on one printable page.
MCP connector
Connector users on the free tier are told what was withheld and why, instead of a bare failure, and refused calls are logged so the answer explains itself.
Carrier directory
Carrier removal requests are honoured at the read layer: a removed carrier stays out of the public directory, the lists and the sitemaps.
Where a carrier actually runs, drawn from its own inspection record, plus the first public documentation for the platform.
Market Tracker
The operating footprint map now draws at county resolution instead of state shading, so a regional carrier no longer looks national because of one inspection.
A radius ring on the footprint map shows the operating radius the carrier itself filed, next to where it was actually inspected.
Drayage is now recognised as a search synonym and as its own filter.
Fixed: the "Operates in" filter showed the wrong title on the results header.
Fixed: the in-app "What's new" panel could reappear on consecutive visits after being dismissed.
Carrier directory
A new public report lists motor carriers holding active authority with no insurance filing on record, recomputed every day, with the national and per-state counts free to cite.
Docs
Public documentation at /docs/ covering the Carriers grid, the Carrier File, Leads, Watch List, Book, Trends, team seats, billing and the MCP connector, with real screenshots.
Subject-matter guides at /guides/ on X-dates, ISS scores, BI/PD filings, CSA BASIC scores, chameleon carriers and rolling a book of business.
Both are published as clean markdown for AI assistants as well as HTML, so an assistant reading the docs gets the same answer a person does.
Starting a trial from the docs or a guide now works the same way it does from a free tool.
Your own book of business became something the platform watches, and carriers stopped being islands: officer and address links now surface the operator behind a new DOT number.
Market Tracker
Book of business import: upload one CSV out of your AMS and every account is matched to its live FMCSA record by DOT number, name and address, with anything uncertain held in "Needs review" rather than guessed at.
Your imported book is watched against the same daily federal feeds as the rest of the platform, so a cancelled filing, an authority going out of service or a new crash on one of your own clients reaches you as a task with the premium at stake next to it.
A renewal desk built from your book, bucketed 90, 60 and 30 days out, with the estimated X-date checked against the real filing history.
Book concentration: how much of your premium sits with one insurer, per your records and per the current federal filing.
Related carriers: officer and address links between carriers, so a brand new DOT number can be traced back to the operator behind it.
Instant suggestions as you type a DOT number or a carrier name, rather than waiting on a full search.
One consistent way to start over: an in-row "Reset filters" control, a self-clearing search box, and a default All carriers view.
Vehicle counts now use the verified FMCSA unit-type map from the MCMIS data dictionary, so tractors, trailers and straight trucks are counted as the federal record defines them.
Invite a teammate from any page, not just the settings screen.
A lapsed team can restart on the card already on file, straight from the paywall.
Platform and data
The daily FMCSA ingest now recovers a stalled hand-off in minutes rather than waiting for the next day, so the data behind every screen stays same-day fresh.
A new signup security layer, after a wave of automated signups in mid August.
The platform became usable on a phone, the public carrier directory expanded well past per-carrier profiles, and the free tools grew two new lines of business.
Market Tracker
A proper mobile layer: the app and its admin work on a phone, with a bottom navigation bar, card lists in place of wide grids and bottom sheets in place of side panels.
Save any carrier report as a PDF, with the footprint and the safety record included.
ISS estimates are now included in exports rather than being screen-only.
A shareable trial link that lands the recipient directly in the 7-day trial.
Insurance and authority data sources updated, correcting the insurer shown on a subset of carriers.
Carrier directory
The public directory expanded beyond per-carrier profiles: newly authorised carrier pages, cargo segment hubs, per-state browse pages and an insurer directory, each with its own list you can subscribe to.
A safety record peek on the public carrier page, without needing an account.
Free tools
A property line of business: flood zone lookup, hail history by address and a property hazard snapshot.
A workers compensation line, with an OSHA inspection lookup running live against the Department of Labor.
Tools now cross-list across lines, so a trucking search surfaces the property tool that also applies.
Platform and data
A sitewide speed pass: variable fonts, lazily loaded trackers and code-split analytics.
We are now alerted when a federal source stops publishing, rather than finding out from stale data.
The BOC-3 process agent file is mirrored as the earliest available signal that a new trucking venture is forming.
Market Tracker became something you can talk to: an MCP connector puts the whole dataset inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
MCP connector
Paste one URL into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and ask about DOT numbers, insurance, filing history, risk, ISS and renewal X-dates in plain English.
Authorisation is the OAuth flow the protocol specifies, not an API key pasted into a chat window, and every tool is read-only.
Free accounts get a small daily allowance of calls; a subscription unlocks the full data inside the assistant too.
Market Tracker
Export any filtered list of carriers.
DOT and MC number search merged into the single carrier listing, so an MC number no longer needs a different screen.
The operating footprint is now part of the carrier report.
The Crashes tab reads from one source with a visible sync stamp, so the crash count on the report and the count on the tab always agree.
Wider ACORD 126 coverage on autofill.
Restart a cancelled subscription yourself, with a banner in the app rather than an email to support.
Faster carrier grid loads on large filtered sets.
Free tools
Metered tools now say plainly what is being withheld and why, instead of showing a blank field.
A lookup that returns nothing no longer counts against your daily allowance.
The carrier universe went from 468,000 to 4.4 million: every USDOT registration in the federal census, not just the insured subset. Risk scoring and ISS estimates landed on top of it.
Market Tracker
The carrier index now covers the full FMCSA census (about 4.4 million registrations) rather than the 468,000 carriers with insurance on file. Insurance became an enrichment on that universe instead of the gate into it.
ISS estimates, reconstructed from the published ISS-CSA algorithm over public SMS data, as a default column on the grid.
Historical ISS stored as a time series, so you can see a carrier trending into or out of the Inspect band.
Loss-risk tiers computed from the raw inspection record.
A Leads tab, saved searches that rescan on a schedule and email you the new matches, and insurer profiles.
A shopper score: which carriers look like they are in the market for coverage this week.
Lead pulls: ready-made lists for renewals, cancellations, an insurer's book and fleet growth.
Free tools
Four new tools: DOT number lookup by name, MC number lookup, an ISS score checker and an X-date lookup.
Renewal alerts offered on the highest-traffic tools, so a one-off lookup can become a standing watch.
