How buyers work the Colorado file
Insurance agents
2,320 of the 3,264 active Colorado carriers registered since October 1, 2025 are authorized for hire. When those Colorado carriers haul general freight interstate in trucks of 10,001 pounds or more, 49 CFR 387.9 sets their minimum liability at $750,000; the 272 that marked hazmat face the higher tiers.
Factoring companies
978 Colorado carriers in the file have an MC docket, the operating authority a for-hire carrier files for to haul for others across state lines. MC docket plus for-hire is where the Colorado factoring list starts.
Dispatch services
2,142 Colorado carriers report one power unit or none, the single-truck operators a dispatch service works for. Sorting the Colorado file by registration date puts the newest of them first.
ELD and fleet software
The interstate carriers among Colorado's 3,264 registrations since October 1, 2025 are inside the 18-month new entrant monitoring period set by 49 CFR 385.307.
Truck and trailer dealers
General freight is the cargo Colorado's new carriers checked most often in the last 90 days (352 carriers), which tells a dealer which trailers to show first.

Calling and emailing new carriers
Most new carriers are owner-operators, and the phone on their registration is often a personal mobile. The TCPA and the National Do Not Call Registry apply to sales calls and texts: scrub every list first, dial by hand, and do not use autodialers, prerecorded or AI voices, or texts without consent. Email falls under CAN-SPAM (a working opt-out and your postal address in every message). Mail is the lowest-risk first touch. This is not legal advice; the Terms set the rules for using the file, and the calling rules guide explains the TCPA and Do Not Call rules in more detail.
