LEADS
Find the carriers you need. Verified the week you get them.
No load today. You are building a book: a carrier bench, a call list, a certified roster for the RFQ. Have a load right now? That is Diligence Search. The lead and vetting market resells the free FMCSA census file. Nobody re-verifies at the moment of use. A Carso list is live-verified against the record, screened, and delivered with an evidence dossier for every name. Every fact carries its source and its date.
Tell us the carrier you want: lane, equipment, cargo, state, fleet size, safety history, authority age, and set-aside status. Words for the kind of carrier, filters for the facts.
Every name is re-checked against the record the week the list ships: authority status, insurance on file, inspections, crashes, and the connected entities at the same address, phone, or officer.
An indexed list with a dossier per carrier: what the sources showed, on what date, with the link to the source. Dead entries are removed, not resold.
Lookup tools find the name you already know. This finds the carriers you are describing.
- Live-verified. Checked against the record when the list is built, not when the census file was published.
- Screened. Federal exclusion and sanctions lists checked for every entry.
- Evidence-dossiered. One dossier per carrier, every fact sourced and dated.
- Connected. Other carriers at the same address, phone, or officer are shown. Chameleon carriers are found by connections, not by name.
- No scores, no opinions. The list shows what the record contains. The decision stays with you.
- Upgrade any name. A Certified Diligence Report on any carrier in your list: investigated, signed, time-stamped. $325 each, or $275 each on lists of 100 or more.
Three tiers. One record.
A Record List is for building a bench: filtered to the spec, current, sourced. A Verified Lead is for picking up the phone: everything in the list, plus the owner confirmed reachable, the connections checked, and the date provable. A CDR is for the name you are about to trust.

Filter by set-aside status, from the carrier's own federal registration.
Shippers, primes, and agencies that must meet small-business and set-aside goals can ask for carriers by designation. The designation comes from the carrier's SAM.gov entity registration, with the registration date and expiration shown, so the list can be defended.
- 8(a) Business Development. Socially and economically disadvantaged small business, SBA-certified.
- Women-owned small business, and EDWOSB: economically disadvantaged women-owned.
- Veteran-owned small business, and SDVOSB: service-disabled veteran-owned.
- HUBZone. Historically underutilized business zone.
- Minority-owned, as designated in the registration: Black American, Hispanic American, Native American, Asian-Pacific American, Subcontinent Asian American.
- Small business, by the NAICS size standard on the registration.
Combine with the record: an SDVOSB reefer carrier in Texas with active authority, insurance on file, and zero fatal crashes is one request.
Leverage the tax benefits of hiring small businesses. Find them at Carso.
Several states pay you back on the state return for spend with certified small and disadvantaged carriers on state-funded work, and federal buyers count that spend toward goals they must meet. A verified list of certified carriers turns the incentive into a purchase order, with the registration to prove it.
- Georgia. Deduct 10% of payments to DOAS-certified minority subcontractors on state contracts from Georgia taxable income, up to $100,000 a year (O.C.G.A. § 48-7-38).
- South Carolina. Income-tax credit of 4% of payments to certified socially and economically disadvantaged small-business subcontractors on state contracts, up to $50,000 a year, for ten consecutive years (S.C. Code § 12-6-3350).
- Federal contracting. Primes file subcontracting plans and report spend with small, women-owned, service-disabled-veteran-owned, and HUBZone firms against government-wide goals (FAR Part 19). Freight moved by a certified carrier counts. Department of Defense primes can receive a 5% rebate on subcontracts to Indian-owned enterprises (DFARS 226.104).
- Ask your tax advisor. Which benefit applies depends on the contract, the state, and the certification. We supply the carrier and the record. Nothing on this page is tax advice.
Dispatchers, brokers, shippers, factoring companies, insurance agents, truck financing, DOT compliance, and the providers who sell to new carriers.
Prospecting and vetting from the same record. The carriers you find are the carriers you can defend hiring.
