Our data
What data does AlphaLoops cover?
AlphaLoops is a carrier intelligence dataset covering 2.7 million FMCSA-registered motor carriers — combining DOT and FMCSA public records with first-party technology, fleet, and contact data collected directly from carriers. It is the single source of truth for who a carrier is, what they run, and how they operate.
The foundation
What government data does AlphaLoops cover?
AlphaLoops ingests and normalizes the complete universe of FMCSA and DOT records, then refreshes them daily. Every carrier profile starts from these named federal sources.
MCS-150Updated daily
Motor carrier census
Self-reported fleet size, power-unit and driver counts, mileage, and operation classification from the biennial census filing — the backbone of fleet sizing.
SMS BASICsUpdated daily
Safety performance
Safety Measurement System scores across all seven BASICs, tracking each carrier's safety trajectory over time against national percentiles.
InspectionsUpdated daily
Roadside inspection file
12 million inspection records with vehicle, driver, and violation-level detail — the ground truth behind a carrier's compliance posture.
L&IUpdated daily
Insurance & bond filings
Licensing & Insurance records showing active coverage, policy levels, carrier of record, and financial-responsibility status.
Crash fileUpdated daily
Crash & incident records
Reportable crashes with fatality, injury, and tow-away detail, tied to each carrier for risk and safety-trend analysis.
Proprietary intelligence · exclusive to AlphaLoops
How does AlphaLoops know what technology a carrier uses?
AlphaLoops surveys carriers directly to map the platforms they actually run — telematics and ELD, TMS, and fuel cards. None of this exists in FMCSA records; AlphaLoops built it from the ground up, and it is the single largest source of carrier technology install-base data available.

How is the data collected?
AlphaLoops doesn't just aggregate — it enriches in layers. Raw FMCSA records are transformed, then extended with large-scale web data, direct AI-agent phone surveys, and proprietary models to build the most complete picture of each fleet.
1
FMCSA transformation
Raw federal records are normalized and mined to extract fleet growth patterns, operating regions, and operational characteristics.
2
Large-scale web data
Web infrastructure gathers operational signals from public sources, job postings, and industry publications at scale.
3
AI-agent phone surveys
AI agents call fleets directly to collect first-party detail on operations, technology stack, and business needs.
4
Proprietary AI models
Collected signals feed models that infer install base, growth, and risk — producing the enriched carrier profile.

Frequently asked
Questions about the AlphaLoops dataset
How many trucking companies are in the US?
There are roughly 2.7 million FMCSA-registered motor carriers in the United States, active and inactive. AlphaLoops maintains a profile for every one of them, sourced from FMCSA and DOT records and refreshed daily.
Where does AlphaLoops get its carrier technology data?
AlphaLoops builds its technology install-base data first-party, by surveying more than 34,000 carriers directly — primarily through AI-agent phone surveys and large-scale web data. This information does not exist in any FMCSA record.
What telematics platforms can AlphaLoops see install base for?
AlphaLoops tracks 97 telematics and ELD platforms, including Samsara, Motive, and Geotab, mapped to the carriers that run them. See the full list on the telematics data page.
What TMS and fuel-card platforms does AlphaLoops track?
AlphaLoops tracks 112 transportation management systems (McLeod, AscendTMS, Trimble TMW and more) and 94 fuel-card platforms (WEX, Comdata, EFS and more) — 303 platforms across all three categories.
How current is the data?
AlphaLoops refreshes its federal sources daily, ingesting each new FMCSA publication as it posts. Every carrier profile carries a last-updated timestamp.
Which government sources does AlphaLoops use?
AlphaLoops ingests SAFER registration, the MCS-150 census, SMS BASICs safety scores, the roadside inspection file, Licensing & Insurance (L&I) filings, and the FMCSA crash file — normalized into one unified record.
How many commercial vehicles and trailers does AlphaLoops cover?
The dataset includes 4 million commercial vehicles and 3.2 million trailers at VIN-level specification — 7.2 million pieces of equipment in total — tied to their operating carriers.
Can I access AlphaLoops data in my CRM?
Yes. AlphaLoops pushes carrier intelligence into Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, and is available via the FMCSA API, an MCP server, and an n8n community node for AI-agent workflows.
What is first-party carrier data?
First-party carrier data is information AlphaLoops collects directly from fleets — technology stack, operational detail, and contacts — rather than aggregating from public records. It is the layer that distinguishes AlphaLoops from FMCSA data resellers.
Who uses the AlphaLoops dataset?
AlphaLoops powers go-to-market teams selling into trucking — telematics, TMS, fuel-payments, and insurance companies — plus brokers and 3PLs using it for carrier risk and fraud intelligence.
