Free FMCSA data vs CarrierLeads
You can pull new authorities yourself from FMCSA's public files for free. It works, but it takes hours a week, the phone numbers are often stale, and every other dispatcher is reading the same file.
| Free FMCSA data (SAFER, census files) | CarrierLeads | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | $29 once for 25 leads, or Growth at $19/mo |
| Time | Download, filter and clean files yourself | Ready in your state the minute you pay |
| Contact data | Census phone, often outdated | Verified phone numbers included |
| Exclusivity | Public to everyone | Each carrier locked to one member for 30 days |
| Workflow | None | CRM, onboarding portal, document vault and expiration alerts (Growth) |
If your time is free, use the FMCSA files. If an hour of your time is worth more than $29, buy the pack and spend that hour calling.
