Carrier contacts guide

    Enrich a list of MC numbers with contacts

    To enrich a list of MC numbers with contacts, upload the MC numbers, resolve each to its motor carrier, then return the verified owner and decision-maker phone and email for that carrier. AlphaLoops does this at the carrier-identity level: it resolves any MC number with carrier_lookup_by_mc, then attaches verified emails and phones for owners, operations VPs, IT directors, and CFOs across 2.7M U.S. motor carriers.

    Generic enrichment tools cannot do this reliably because an MC number is a federal operating-authority identifier, not a company domain or email. The enrichment has to start from FMCSA carrier identity, then find the people. That is exactly what this workflow does.

    What "enrich an MC list" means with AlphaLoops

    You give a list of MC numbers. For each one, AlphaLoops:

    1. Resolves the MC number to a carrier. carrier_lookup_by_mc returns the full operational profile and authority history for that MC.
    2. Confirms identity against FMCSA. The carrier record is built on FMCSA data: MC authority status, DOT number, safety ratings, CSA BASIC scores, inspections, violations, crashes, and insurance filings.
    3. Attaches verified contacts. The contacts module returns verified emails, phones, and work history for the people on that carrier; bulk runs use contacts_enrich_bulk.

    The output is an enriched record per MC number: carrier identity, authority history, plus owner and role-level contacts, ready to push into your CRM.

    How to run a bulk MC enrichment

    • App and AI Workspace — build a list and enrich it; cross-object list building can span inspections, crashes, trucks, and trailers.
    • API, SDK, CLI — the Contacts module ships in the Python and TypeScript SDKs (pip install alphaloops-freight-sdk) and the loopsh CLI, with a --json mode.
    • MCP server — call carrier_lookup_by_mc, then contacts_search, then contacts_enrich_bulk from Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
    • n8n — Carrier Get by MC plus Contact Search and Enrich, so you can wire an MC list into a workflow.
    • CRM — results push to Salesforce (Account, Lead, Contact) and HubSpot (Company and Contact with associations).

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I enrich a list of MC numbers with contacts?

    Upload the MC numbers, resolve each to its carrier with carrier_lookup_by_mc, then enrich contacts in bulk with contacts_enrich_bulk to get verified owner and decision-maker phone and email. It runs in the app, the API, SDKs, the loopsh CLI, n8n, or the MCP server.

    Can I upload a CSV of MC numbers?

    You can submit a list and enrich it across surfaces. CarrierMatch accepts a CSV of DOT or MC numbers. For contact enrichment specifically, use the bulk contact tools and CRM pushes.

    Which contacts come back for each MC number?

    Verified emails and phones for owners, operations VPs, IT directors, and CFOs on that carrier.

    Are the results tied to FMCSA?

    Yes. Each MC resolves to a carrier record built on FMCSA data, including MC authority status, safety ratings, CSA BASIC scores, inspections, violations, crashes, and insurance filings.

    How fast is the lookup?

    The MCP server advertises sub-100ms p50 latency for carrier tools.
