This is carrier recruiting in the freight sense — sourcing capacity by finding the right fleets and reaching their decision-makers. It is not staffing, HR recruiting, or finding drivers. Filter 2.7M U.S. motor carriers by equipment type, geography, fleet size, authority age, and safety profile, then enrich each with verified contacts. [Book a demo](/contact)[Talk to sales](/contact) CAPACITY MATCH · FLATBED · TX LONE STAR DECK LLC DOT 3520148 · MC 1188204 FLEET 32 power units 36 drivers 44 flatbed trailers SOURCING PROFILE Equipment Flatbed · step-deck Domicile Dallas, TX · regional Authority age 3 years · for-hire Safety snapshot Clean inspection history SOURCING SIGNAL · NOT A VETTING DECISION DECISION-MAKER MT Marcus Tran Owner · Ops VP VERIFIED SECTION 02 · SOURCING SIGNALS ## Source capacity by the attributes that matter Carrier recruiting works when you can match a fleet's profile to your freight. AlphaLoops turns 'find me carriers to recruit' into a precise list query. 1 Equipment type Reefer, flatbed, tanker, dry van, step-deck, and more — match a fleet's equipment to the freight you need to cover. ✓ COVERED 2 Geography and domicile Filter by state, region, and carrier domicile to find capacity based where your lanes originate and deliver. ✓ COVERED 3 Fleet size and power units Right-size your network. Match small owner-operators or mid-size fleets to the lanes and volume you can commit. ✓ COVERED 4 Authority age Reach new-authority carriers early, while they're still building their broker relationships and looking for freight. ✓ COVERED 5 Safety and inspection profile CSA BASICs, inspection history, crashes, and OOS rates per carrier — a sourcing and prioritization signal, not a vetting verdict. ✓ COVERED 6 Cargo and operating segment LTL, drayage, household goods, construction, waste, and more — segment by the operations that fit the freight you move. ✓ COVERED SECTION 03 · SOURCING PLAYS ## Source the capacity you actually need Recruiting teams use AlphaLoops to turn capacity gaps into targeted carrier lists, then route them straight into onboarding. MATCH FREIGHT Equipment-matched capacity Need flatbed in the Southeast or reefer out of California? Filter by equipment and region to build a list of fleets that fit the freight, then enrich and reach out. LANE COVERAGE Capacity where your lanes are Find fleets domiciled where your loads originate and deliver. Source standing capacity for recurring lanes instead of re-posting to a board every day. NEW AUTHORITY Reach fleets early New-authority carriers are actively building broker relationships. Filter by authority age and reach them before your competitors do. ONBOARDING FEED Always-on capacity pipeline Save a sourcing ICP and have newly authorized carriers in your target states flow into onboarding automatically via Slack, email, or webhook. EQUIPMENT DEPTH Specialized and hard-to-source Tanker, hazmat, heavy haul, and other specialized capacity is hard to find on a board. Filter the full carrier universe to the fleets that run it. LOAD BOARDS Supply-side onboarding Load boards and digital marketplaces use AlphaLoops to source carriers to onboard — a filterable list of fleets to invite, not a directory of listings. SECTION 04 · DATA RECORD ## The carrier intelligence record What's in the AlphaLoops record for carrier recruiting and capacity sourcing. Equipment and VIN-level fleet Power units, drivers, tractors, and trailers, with VIN-level specs on 4M commercial vehicles. Sleeper vs day cab, reefer, flatbed, tanker, and hazmat. Operating authority status and age Active, pending, and revoked authority, authority type, and authority age from the FMCSA registry, refreshed daily — the basis for the new-authority feed. Geography and operating profile Domicile, operating radius, interstate vs intrastate, and cargo and operating segment for lane- and region-based sourcing. Safety and inspection snapshot CSA BASICs, inspection history, crashes, and OOS rates — a sourcing and prioritization signal, not a vetting decision. Decision-maker contacts PROPRIETARY Verified emails and direct phones for owners, ops VPs, IT directors, and CFOs — the people who decide whether a fleet joins your network. Alerts and saved lists PROPRIETARY Save a sourcing ICP and have newly authorized carriers in your target states flow in automatically via Slack, email, or webhook. What we don't include BY DESIGN A vetting verdict or tendering recommendation (the decision remains the broker's). Safety ratings. Driver-level identity data beyond aggregate counts. SECTION 05 · BY EQUIPMENT ## Source by the equipment your freight needs AlphaLoops segments the carrier universe by equipment type so recruiting teams target only the capacity that matches the freight. REEFER Refrigerated carriers Temperature-controlled capacity for produce, food, and pharma lanes. Segment by region and season to match harvest and demand cycles. FLATBED Flatbed and step-deck Open-deck capacity for steel, building materials, and machinery. Filter by domicile to source near your origins. TANKER Tanker and hazmat Specialized, compliance-heavy capacity that's hard to source on a board. Filter the full carrier universe to fleets that run it. DRY VAN General truckload The largest and most available segment. Use geography, size, and authority age to find the right standing capacity, not just whoever's posting. DRAYAGE Drayage and intermodal Port and ramp capacity for container moves. Source fleets domiciled near the terminals you serve. HEAVY HAUL Specialized and oversize Permitted, oversize, and heavy-haul capacity for project freight. Reach the small number of fleets equipped for it.

[MCP server →](/mcp) WEBHOOKS, BATCH ENDPOINTS, AND ALERTS AVAILABLE ON ENTERPRISE SECTION 07 · PROBLEMS WE SOLVE ## Three problems recruiting teams solve with AlphaLoops Where a precise, filterable carrier list beats browsing load boards and directories one listing at a time. PROBLEM 01 Turning "find carriers" into a precise list query Load boards answer "which load boards exist" and let you browse listings. They don't hand a recruiting team a filtered list of the fleets that match your freight, your lanes, and your size band. AlphaLoops makes carrier recruiting a list query: equipment, geography, fleet size, and authority age across 2.7M carriers, enriched with the contacts you need to reach out. PROBLEM 02 Sourcing standing capacity where your lanes are Re-posting to a board every day is a treadmill. The fleets you want are the ones domiciled where your freight originates and equipped for what you haul — and you want a relationship, not a one-off cover. Filter by domicile and equipment to build a list of standing capacity for recurring lanes, then enrich and recruit the decision-makers directly. PROBLEM 03 Reaching new-authority capacity first New-authority carriers are actively building broker relationships and looking for freight. Reaching them early earns the relationship before they're committed elsewhere. AlphaLoops tracks authority age and can feed newly authorized carriers in your target states into a saved list automatically, so onboarding starts during the window that matters. Safety data informs prioritization; the vetting and tendering decision remains yours.
