Lead Field Reference

Carrier Leads Pipeline turns FMCSA registration, authority, and insurance records into lead events. A blank field usually means the source did not provide the value or it does not apply to that lead type; it does not automatically mean No, Inactive, or zero.

Event Date

The business date of the event that produced the lead. It is not the date Carrier Leads Pipeline downloaded the record.

Lead type	What Event Date means
Insurance Renewal	The date the insurance cancellation becomes effective.
Authority Application	The application or authority-status event date supplied by FMCSA.
Insurance Due	The authority-application event date behind the signal.
New DOT Number or New Entrant	The dated registration event. For Census records, FMCSA's source date may mean created, reactivated, or system-updated, so it is not guaranteed to be the original USDOT issuance date.

Detected Date

The source snapshot date on which Carrier Leads Pipeline detected the event. Use Event Date for the real-world event and Detected Date for data-arrival timing.

Access

Shows whether sensitive lead details are locked for your team. Unlocking reveals available company, identifier, contact, and policy details. A team is charged only for its first billable unlock of a lead.

Lead Type

The Carrier Leads Pipeline classification of the event, such as Authority Application, Insurance Renewal, Insurance Due, New DOT Number, or New Entrant. Lead Type is derived from FMCSA evidence; it is not a field published verbatim by FMCSA.

An Insurance Due lead indicates that an authority applicant appears to need a financial responsibility filing. It is not proof that the applicant is uninsured.

Company

The carrier's legal name from the best available FMCSA carrier record. A separately reported DBA name can appear in exports and integrations.

DOT

The FMCSA USDOT number. It identifies the safety-registration entity and is not the same as an MC, MX, or FF docket number.

Docket

The FMCSA operating-authority docket when available, commonly an MC, MX, or FF identifier. One carrier may have both a USDOT number and a docket number.

State

The state in the carrier's physical or principal business address, not necessarily its mailing address.

Carrier Operation

The FMCSA operating scope: Interstate, Intrastate hazardous materials, or Intrastate non-hazardous materials. This field usually comes from Company Census and can be blank for authority events that do not have Census enrichment.

Operation Classification

The carrier's reported business classifications, such as authorized for hire or private property. A carrier can have several classifications. On an authority lead without Census classification data, this field can instead show the authority type.

Drivers

The total driver count reported in the FMCSA source snapshot. It is not a live employment count.

Power Units

The number of power units reported in the FMCSA source snapshot. It excludes trailers and is not a live telematics count.

Cargo

The cargo categories the carrier reports to FMCSA. Passenger operations can appear as Passengers. When the carrier checks an Other category, the source's description is used when available.

Safety

FMCSA's Satisfactory, Conditional, or Unsatisfactory safety rating. It is not an SMS BASIC score. A blank value commonly means the source supplied no rating.

Cancel Date

The date an insurance cancellation becomes effective. It is not the date the cancellation was filed, received, published, or detected. Insurance Renewal leads require this date, and it also serves as their Event Date.

Insurer

The insurance company name on the FMCSA policy record. The administering branch can have a different name.

Policy

The policy number reported to FMCSA. It remains hidden until the lead is unlocked.

Insurance Type

FMCSA's human-readable insurance or filing description. Use Form, Type Code, Type Indicator, and Class when you need the source's more specific categories.

Filing Status

Why the policy appears in FMCSA insurance history. It is not the carrier's overall authority status and does not, by itself, mean the carrier currently lacks insurance.

Value	Meaning
CANCEL	The policy was cancelled.
TERM/REPL	The policy was terminated or replaced. These rows are not published as Insurance Renewal leads.
NAMECHG	The filing changed because of a name change.

Older records can be blank, and FMCSA also allows a transferred-policy reason.

Coverage Max

The insurer's stated maximum coverage amount, normalized to dollars. It is not a recommended limit. A blank value means the source did not supply that amount; zero can be valid for filing types that do not use a BI&PD coverage amount.

Phone

The best available business phone or cell phone from FMCSA carrier data. It remains hidden until the lead is unlocked.

Email

The contact email in the available FMCSA carrier data. It remains hidden until the lead is unlocked.

Additional insurance fields

These fields appear in filters, exports, or integrations even when they are not shown as table columns.

Insurance Effective Date

The date the policy became effective. It is not the event detection date or the start date of the carrier's business.

Form

The FMCSA insurance filing form. Carrier Leads Pipeline normalizes numeric source codes to labels such as BMC-91 or BMC-34.

Type Code

FMCSA's insurance category code: 1 BI&PD, 2 Cargo, 3 Bond, or 4 Trust Fund.

Type Indicator

FMCSA uses a blank value for BI&PD and * for non-BI&PD filings.

Class

For BI&PD, P usually means primary and E means excess. Some active-policy records use 1 or 2 for statutory full-security limits.

Coverage Min

The policy's stated minimum coverage amount, normalized to dollars.

Underlying Limit

For excess BI&PD coverage, the underlying or primary layer beneath the excess policy, normalized to dollars.

Additional source fields

These source-style fields can appear in exports, integrations, or support work.

status_code

For Company Census data, A means Active, I means Inactive, and P specifically means a Mexico-domiciled company's U.S. operating-authority application is under review. This is not a safety rating or insurance status. For a Motus-only authority lead, the field can instead contain authority-status text.

pointnum

FMCSA's primary-record marker, not a score. P means primary and S means a secondary record associated with a primary record. Carrier Leads Pipeline uses primary Census records for customer-visible Census leads and resolves or excludes secondary rows to avoid duplicates.

carship

FMCSA's entity-role code. It can contain several letters when more than one role applies.

Letter	Entity role
C	Carrier
S	Shipper
B	Broker
R	Registrant that registers vehicles but is not a carrier
F	Freight forwarder
I	Intermodal equipment provider
T	Cargo tank facility

carship is different from Carrier Operation, which describes interstate or intrastate scope.
