Motor carrier lead types

Newly registered carriers
Newly authorized carriers
Carriers whose insurance was cancelled
Carriers with a suspension warning
Carriers with a renewal coming up

All of these come from FMCSA public records. They show company name, location and fleet size. Contact details for the owner are on the paid list.

Which to work first

Work the carriers with a hard date first. After that, newly authorized carriers that have no insurance on file, then new USDOT numbers, then renewals.
