We enrich carriers. If you sell into trucking, Clay gives you a great outreach workflow: but it doesn’t know a thing about fleets. That’s where AlphaLoops comes in. [Book a Demo](/contact)[See the Comparison](#comparison) Clay has **150+ data providers**. None of them carry fleet-level data on trucking companies — no TMS stack, no truck count, no growth signals. That data simply isn’t in Clay’s network. **AlphaLoops is.** AlphaLoops ### Carrier intelligence built for freight GTM teams Proprietary fleet data: telematics, TMS, ELD, fuel cards, growth signals, risk flags: piped directly into your CRM. Built exclusively for companies selling into trucking. Clay ### A flexible enrichment platform for general B2B outreach An aggregator of 150+ data providers with a powerful workflow builder. Excellent at contact-level enrichment for tech, finance, and SaaS sales motions. Not built for freight. Feature Comparison ## Where each tool wins Honest breakdown. Both tools are good at what they were built for. The question is whether your ICP drives a truck. Capability AlphaLoops Clay Carrier fleet size & truck count Real power unit and trailer data, not scraped estimates ✓ Yes ✗ No Telematics provider detection Samsara, Motive, Geotab, Verizon Connect, and 90+ more ✓ Yes ✗ No TMS identification McLeod, AscendTMS, TMW, Oracle TMS, and more ✓ Yes ✗ No Fuel card intelligence WEX, EFS, Comdata, Mudflap, Pilot Flying J, and others ✓ Yes ✗ No Fleet growth & contraction signals Track which carriers are adding trucks, drivers, and new lanes ✓ Yes ✗ No Carrier risk signals Authority-for-sale alerts, fraud indicators, financial distress flags ✓ Yes ✗ No Contact information Decision-maker emails, phone numbers, direct dials ✓ Yes ✓ Yes CRM integration Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, and others ✓ Yes → Yes: Growth plan ($446/mo+) required ICP filtering & list building Segment and prioritize your target account list ✓ Yes ✓ Yes Outreach workflow automation Trigger-based sequences, email automation, campaign tools → Integrates ✓ Yes General B2B data providers (150+) LinkedIn, Apollo, Clearbit, and others ✗ Not the focus ✓ Yes Built for freight & transportation teams Domain-specific data, carrier coverage, trucking-specific ICP logic ✓ Yes ✗ General purpose FMCSA data enrichment Authority, safety scores, DOT history, MC numbers ✓ Yes, and beyond → Partial via scraping API & MCP server access Build custom workflows and AI-powered carrier research ✓ Yes ✓ Yes Highlighted rows = capabilities unique to freight GTM use cases that Clay cannot cover. The Core Gap ## Clay doesn’t know what a carrier actually is. Clay aggregates contact and company data from the broader B2B world. Fleets aren’t a company with a LinkedIn page and a HubSpot form. They’re operational entities: defined by trucks, drivers, technology, lanes, and growth patterns. That data doesn’t exist in Clay’s provider network. 🚛 #### Fleet-level intelligence AlphaLoops tracks **2.4 million+ carrier profiles** with real operational data: not scraped firmographics. Fleet size, equipment, lane activity, and tech stack are updated continuously. 🔧 #### Technology stack detection We identify which **telematics, TMS, ELD, and fuel card** providers each carrier runs. Clay has no way to surface this. It doesn’t exist in any of their 150+ providers’ datasets. 📈 #### Operational signals that matter Know when a carrier adds 20 trucks, starts hiring drivers, or expands into new lanes: **before your competitors do**. These are the triggers that actually move deals. ⚠ #### Risk & fraud signals AlphaLoops monitors for **MC authority sales, shell carrier patterns, and fraud indicators** in real time. This is unique to freight: and invisible to general-purpose enrichment tools. Better Together ## Most of our customers use both. AlphaLoops and Clay aren’t competitors: they’re complements. AlphaLoops provides the freight-specific intelligence Clay can’t. Clay handles the outreach automation AlphaLoops doesn’t need to. AlphaLoops 🎯 ##### Find & prioritize carriers Filter by fleet size, tech stack, growth signals, and ICP fit AlphaLoops 👤 ##### Get carrier contacts Decision-maker names, emails, and direct dials: enriched Clay ⚡ ##### Build outreach sequences Layer in Clay’s workflow automation — Claygent can connect to AlphaLoops via MCP for deeper carrier context CRM ✓ ##### Close in your CRM Everything synced to Salesforce or HubSpot, ready to work > AlphaLoops has fleet data we couldn’t find anywhere else: intelligence that tells us which carriers actually match our ICP and why. Now our reps spend time on the right conversations instead of chasing dead ends. **Michael Kennedy**VP of Business Development, Loadsure ## Stop selling into trucking blind.
