AlphaLoops knows the carrier. Apollo.io has one of the best B2B contact databases on the market and a native sequencer that freight tech teams genuinely use. But it has no FMCSA data, no carrier tech stack detection, and no freight intelligence of any kind. For teams selling into trucking, that's the whole job. [Book a Demo](/contact)[See the Comparison](#comparison) Apollo has **275M+ B2B contacts**. It cannot tell you which carriers run Samsara, which have been adding trucks, or which have authority-for-sale flags. **AlphaLoops can — and it feeds those lists directly into your sequences.** Two tools. One stack. AlphaLoops ### The freight data layer — who to target and why AlphaLoops profiles 2.4M+ US carriers with FMCSA data, fleet size, tech stack, growth signals, risk monitoring, and verified contacts. It tells your team which carriers match your ICP, why they're a fit, and which ones are actually in-market right now. Think of it as the carrier intelligence engine. It answers: who should we be talking to? Apollo.io ### The outreach engine — how to reach them at scale Apollo.io gives you 275M+ contacts, email sequencing, a built-in dialer, AI personalization, and CRM sync in one platform. It's one of the strongest outbound execution tools available for B2B sales teams — genuinely useful for freight tech teams that need to run campaigns at volume. Think of it as the outreach execution layer. It answers: how do we reach them efficiently? Feature Comparison ## What each platform covers Apollo is honest about what it is: a general B2B database with outreach tools. The freight gaps are structural — not bugs, just a different market.

Better together ## Most freight tech teams use both AlphaLoops and Apollo are complementary. AlphaLoops finds and scores the right carriers. Apollo executes the outreach at scale. Here's how the stack works together. 🎯 ##### Find and score AlphaLoops filters 2.4M carriers by fleet size, tech stack, and ICP fit AlphaLoops 👤 ##### Enrich contacts AlphaLoops surfaces the right decision-makers at each target carrier AlphaLoops ⚡ ##### Build sequences Export to Apollo and run personalized multi-touch outreach campaigns Apollo.io 📈 ##### Monitor and refresh AlphaLoops tracks fleet changes and risk signals to keep your list current AlphaLoops The core gap ## Apollo has 275M contacts. Zero of them know what TMS a carrier runs. Apollo's database is built from the B2B internet — LinkedIn, company websites, job postings. That works brilliantly for SaaS companies, agencies, and professional services firms. Motor carriers are different. Their digital footprint is an FMCSA filing and a DOT number. Their tech stack doesn't show up on BuiltWith. Their fleet size isn't in their LinkedIn bio. Apollo can find a contact at a carrier — it cannot tell you anything meaningful about the carrier itself. 📋 #### No FMCSA data Apollo has zero DOT authority records, safety scores, CSA BASIC data, inspection history, or crash records. For freight GTM teams, **these are the primary qualification signals** — and they simply don't exist in Apollo's database. 🔧 #### No freight technographics Apollo's technographics are strong for SaaS-to-SaaS selling — Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach. Freight-specific software like **Samsara, Motive, McLeod, WEX, and EFS** are outside Apollo's coverage. You can't filter by what telematics platform a carrier runs. 🚛 #### No fleet intelligence Apollo has no truck counts, no trailer data, no fleet growth signals. **Fleet size is the most fundamental ICP filter** for most freight tech vendors — and Apollo has no way to surface it. A 5-truck owner-operator and a 500-truck fleet look identical in Apollo. 👤 #### Thin carrier contact coverage Apollo's 275M contacts skew heavily toward white-collar B2B professionals. Owner-operators, fleet managers, and small carrier decision-makers have limited LinkedIn presence and thin coverage in Apollo's database. **Many of your best prospects simply aren't there.** ⚠ #### No freight risk signals Apollo monitors hiring signals and funding events. It has no visibility into **MC authority-for-sale activity, equipment liquidation, shell carrier patterns, or FMCSA enforcement actions** — the signals that matter for freight-specific sales and risk management. 📈 #### Intent data without carrier context Apollo tracks topic-level intent signals from the B2B content network. Even when a carrier visits your site, Apollo can identify the company — **but not what their fleet looks like, what technology they run, or whether they match your ICP**. AlphaLoops layers all of that onto every visit. Which tool for which job ## When to use AlphaLoops, when to use Apollo These tools answer different questions. Most freight tech teams need both. ##### I need to build a list of carriers running a competitor's telematics platform Apollo has no freight technographic data. AlphaLoops tracks 100+ freight-specific technology providers across 2.4M+ carriers and can filter by installed platform, fleet size, and geography in a single query. Use AlphaLoops ##### I have a list of target carriers and want to run a multi-touch email and call campaign Apollo's sequencer is strong — multi-step automation, A/B testing, a built-in dialer, and CRM sync. Once AlphaLoops gives you the right list and contacts, Apollo is a solid execution layer for the campaign itself. Use Apollo ##### I want to know which carriers are visiting my website and whether they match my ICP AlphaLoops provides person and company-level deanonymization with carrier context — fleet size, tech stack, and ICP score alongside each visit. Apollo's intent data doesn't include carrier-specific intelligence. Use AlphaLoops ##### I sell into both trucking and non-trucking industries and need one outreach tool for everything Apollo's 275M+ contact database and native sequencer covers all B2B industries well. For non-trucking accounts, Apollo is the right prospecting and outreach tool. For carrier accounts, feed AlphaLoops lists into Apollo sequences. Both — complementary ##### I need to monitor my book of business for carrier risk signals and churn indicators Apollo doesn't monitor FMCSA events, authority status, or freight-specific risk signals. AlphaLoops tracks MC authority-for-sale activity, equipment liquidation, and financial distress continuously across your account list. Use AlphaLoops ##### I want to embed carrier intelligence into AI agent workflows and internal tools AlphaLoops ships an MCP server compatible with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client — 30+ tools covering carrier lookup, contacts, fleet, safety, prospecting, and risk. Apollo has a REST API but no MCP server. Use AlphaLoops ## The freight data layer Apollo doesn't have. FMCSA intelligence, freight-specific tech stacks, fleet signals, and risk data — delivered into your CRM and Apollo sequences.
