Good questions. Clear answers.

A state pack ($149) or nationwide pack ($699) is a one-time purchase of the current snapshot. The nationwide daily feed is $99/month; State is $29/month, Regional $59/month, and Team $199/month and provides newly discovered US carriers and new authority events while your subscription is active. It does not include the full database.

The FMCSA Company Census and Motus open datasets on data.transportation.gov. One row per active USDOT number; state packs use the physical address state. Active registration is not proof that a company is currently operating.

The pipeline checks FMCSA daily. Registration dates, snapshot differences and new operating-authority grants identify new records. Federal data can post late and some days have no new source version. Each feed shows the data date and publication date.

The subscription feed assigns each discovered carrier a stable USDOT ID and publishes it once. The file includes first-seen date and event labels. Registration, reactivation and authority events are distinguishable; downloads from overlapping date ranges may include the same ID.

Email addresses are syntax-checked, not inbox-verified. Shared filing-agent emails are flagged. Phone fields may be personal wireless numbers. Public registration does not give consent to contact; check applicable outreach rules and suppression lists.

Packs are delivered through a private download page after payment confirmation. Save the files locally within 48 hours. Subscribers receive a private feed dashboard and can manage or cancel renewals through the billing portal. Keep your private link secure.
