The moment

A DOT number is the first public document in the life of a trucking company. It carries the fleet: power units, drivers, the cargo the operator ticked and whether operating authority has been granted.

Almost every new registration is one person and one truck. The ones that show up with four trucks or more buy a program: a fleet policy, a factoring line, ELDs by the seat, fuel cards, dispatch. Those decisions get made in the first 90 days, and they're hard to move after. The Dock keeps only those fleets.

Who it's for

  • Commercial truck insurance agents and MGAs
  • Freight factoring companies
  • ELD, telematics and TMS vendors
  • Fuel card programs
  • Dispatch and back-office services
  • Truck and trailer dealers and lessors
  • Permit, compliance and drug-testing consortia

What you get

  • New for-hire fleets with four or more power units
  • Power units, drivers and cargo, as the operator filed them
  • Operating authority status, checked for the top of the list
  • Inspections and crashes on file for the top of the list
  • One-truck registrations, private fleets and big national carriers set aside

The outcome

Your agents quote a fleet policy in the carrier's first month instead of chasing the renewal a year later. Your factoring team calls while the carrier is still setting up how it gets paid for loads.

Questions buyers ask

Is this new authority or new DOT numbers?
Both, marked. The DOT number comes first. Operating authority runs on its own clock, so a new carrier may still be waiting on it, and the list says which.
Why four trucks or more?
A one-truck operator takes one policy and one ELD. A four-truck fleet takes a program, and that's a much bigger account for everyone who sells to it.
Are the fleet numbers checked?
They're what the operator wrote on its own filing. When a driver count can't match the fleet on the same form, we flag the row and keep it out of every total.
