FreshAuthority / Compare / HaulerCheck
The closest comparison in this category — both services deliver daily FMCSA new-carrier files with renewals and lapses included, a free 7-day trial, and a free 25-carrier sample. The real differences are delivery time, price, and who stands behind the data. Here they are, straight.

If you work the list in the morning, FreshAuthority is in your inbox up to three hours earlier (6 AM ET vs ~8 AM CT), costs $10–$70/mo less per tier, and is the only one of the two that guarantees the data: if fewer than 95% of rows have a working phone or email, the month is free. In our October 29 build run, 99.97% of grant rows carried a phone or an email.
HaulerCheck folds new USDOT registrations into the same file and links every row to a full carrier report with risk level and change history — closer to a research platform than a pure lead file. If you vet carriers (brokers, factoring risk teams) as much as you prospect them, that breadth is genuinely useful, and their free carrier check covers 750,000+ companies.
