What this server can do
9 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
carrier_lookup(dot)- Full safety + contact profile for one carrier by USDOT number: identity, fleet, authority status, roadside safety record, FMCSA rating, email/phone. Required: dot.
carrier_risk_lookup(dot)- Risk-screen one carrier by USDOT number for insurance underwriting / factoring vetting: out-of-service rate vs national average, inspection history, FMCSA rating, authority + insurance status, flags. Honest-null with a 'no roadside inspection history' flag for brand-new carriers. Alias of safety_screen. A transparent triage signal from public FMCSA data, not a guarantee — verify against SAFER for underwriting decisions. Required: dot.
chameleon_check(limit, state, minScore)- Chameleon / reincarnation entity-resolution: new authorities that share a phone or physical address with a recently-DEACTIVATED carrier (a likely reincarnation of an outfit that lost authority). Filing-agent / registration-service clusters are down-weighted. Returns a 0-100 score + match basis. A review signal, not proof of fraud.
new_authority_feed(limit, since, state, forHire, insured, hasEmail, financeable, maxPowerUnits, minPowerUnits)- Return US trucking carriers newly granted FMCSA operating authority, newest first. The broker/factoring lead signal: each carrier just became able to legally haul. Pre-qualified for factoring: each carrier carries financeable (GO/WAIT/NO/UNKNOWN), forHire (has broker/shipper receivables to factor), authorityStatus (Active/Pending), insuranceStatus + insurer (BIPD on file), and owner/principal name — derived from the FMCSA census + L&I authority/insurance datasets. Filter by state, fleet size, since-date, has-email, forHire, financeable verdict, and insured.
new_carriers(limit, since, state, forHire, insured, hasEmail, financeable, maxPowerUnits, minPowerUnits)- Newly-authorized US motor carriers (FMCSA new entrants), newest first — the new-carrier LEADS feed for trucking insurance agents, factoring companies, and ELD/fuel-card/equipment vendors selling to new carriers. Each row: USDOT, legal/DBA name, address, phone, EMAIL (where on file), fleet size, authority type/status, plus factoring pre-qualification (forHire, financeable, authority/insurance status) and the safety layer (out-of-service rate / inspection history where the carrier already has a roadside record; honest-null with a 'no inspection history yet' flag for true new entrants). Alias of new_authority_feed. Filter by state, fleet size, since-date, has-email, forHire, financeable, insured. Leads from public FMCSA census — verify before outreach; respect DNC / CAN-SPAM.
regrade_list(carriers)- Re-grade a list of carriers (USDOT numbers and/or MC/docket numbers) against the live FMCSA/L&I record plus our switch-signal and chameleon layers. Each carrier returns a triage verdict and flags: already-factored, authority-revoked, insurance-lapsed, chameleon, virgin (no factor yet), or switch-lead (just terminated its factor). The 'wow' demo for factoring companies vetting their own lead list. Required: carriers.
safety_screen(dot)- Risk verdict for a carrier by USDOT number for insurance underwriting / shipper vetting: out-of-service rate vs national average, inspection history, FMCSA rating, authority status, flags. A transparent triage signal from public FMCSA data, not a guarantee. Required: dot.
search_carriers(limit, since, state, forHire, insured, hasEmail, financeable, maxPowerUnits, minPowerUnits)- Search the new-authority carrier set by state, fleet size, since-date, has-email, forHire, financeable verdict (GO/WAIT/NO), and insured. Returns pre-qualified, lead-ready carrier rows. For an arbitrary DOT use carrier_lookup.
switch_signal(type, limit, state)- The real-time factor-SWITCH lead feed — the edge RigDig's static annual UCC buckets cannot show. PRIMARY = VIRGIN: a fresh authority with NO factor UCC-1 lien on record yet — the populated everyday flow, first factor to call wins (no factor yet — live). SECONDARY = TERMINATED: a UCC-3 termination just hit the carrier's factor lien (carrier now factor-free — highest-value lead). UCC-3 terminations are genuinely RARE — surfaced when they occur; an empty terminated list is honest, not a dead feed. Omit type to get the default (leads with `primary`=virgin, carries `secondary`=terminated). UCC coverage is partial and marked HONESTLY per state (uccCoverage); a carrier in a non-covered state is never labelled 'virgin'. Filter by type and state.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
