Carrier tool
How new is this carrier's authority?
Authority age is the single best predictor of whether a carrier will take your call. Enter a USDOT number to see how long they've been authorized and what that means for your outreach.
Why authority age decides your reply rate
A motor carrier's operating authority is granted on a specific date, and the first sixty days after that date are the only stretch where the owner has no established freight relationships. That is when a dispatcher's cold email is a solution rather than an interruption. Once a carrier has been running for a year, they already have brokers they trust and a rate they accept, so the same email reads as noise.
The MCS-150 date is the companion signal. Carriers must refresh that biennial filing, and a fleet that let it go stale is frequently one that has parked its trucks.
Check a carrier before the conversation
Use the federal record to check authority, insurance, and safety; then prepare a relevant first call.
