Our Data

Unifying the Fragmented Landscape of Transportation Data

The trucking industry generates massive volumes of data across dozens of disconnected systems—from federal safety databases to state inspection records, from carrier registrations to insurance filings. At AlphaLabs, we've built the infrastructure to unify these disparate sources into a coherent, queryable intelligence platform that reveals the true state of American trucking.

Government Data: The Foundation

We start with the complete universe of FMCSA and DOT data, ingesting and normalizing information from:

  • Safety Measurement System (SMS) records tracking carrier safety performance across seven BASICs
  • Inspection databases containing millions of roadside inspection records with vehicle, driver, and violation details
  • DOT registration files covering 3+ million registered motor carriers with fleet sizes, equipment types, and operational authorities
  • Crash records documenting preventable accidents, fatalities, and injury incidents
  • Insurance and bond filings showing coverage levels and carrier financial responsibility
  • Operating authority data revealing active/inactive status, cargo types, and geographic operating regions
  • Company snapshots with ownership structures, DBA names, and corporate relationships

But raw government data tells only part of the story. These databases were built for compliance, not insight—scattered across different systems, updated on different schedules, with inconsistent identifiers and data quality issues. We've spent years building the pipelines to clean, match, and reconcile these sources, creating unified carrier profiles that connect the dots between a company's safety record, operational scope, and business relationships.

Proprietary Data: The Competitive Edge

Where public data ends, our proprietary partnerships begin. We layer on exclusive data streams that reveal how fleets actually operate:

Telematics Intelligence

Our database maps telematics and ELD provider adoption across fleet segments, identifying which carriers use Geotab, Samsara, Motive, Omnitracs, Trimble, and dozens of other platforms. By analyzing provider relationships across different fleet sizes and operational types—from long-haul to last-mile—we understand technology sophistication, compliance approaches, and investment priorities that indicate carrier growth trajectories and operational maturity.

Fleet Management Software

We track technology adoption across the industry, identifying which TMS, dispatch, routing, and maintenance platforms each fleet uses. By monitoring software deployments—from enterprise systems like McLeod and TMW to emerging platforms like Samsara and KeepTruckin—we understand carrier sophistication levels, technology investment patterns, and digital transformation readiness that correlate with operational performance and growth potential.

Fuel Card Analytics

We track fuel card adoption across fleet segments, identifying which carriers use Comdata, EFS, WEX, Fuelman, and other payment networks. By analyzing fuel card provider relationships across different fleet sizes and types—from owner-operators to large enterprises—we understand payment preferences, network coverage requirements, and the financial partnerships that reveal carrier creditworthiness and operational sophistication.

Truckstop Data

Comprehensive location mapping of truckstop facilities nationwide, including available services, amenities, and accepted payment providers. We maintain detailed profiles of fuel stops, maintenance facilities, and rest areas to understand infrastructure density, service gaps, and regional capacity constraints that impact route planning and operational efficiency.

The AlphaLabs Difference

Our data platform doesn't just aggregate—it enriches. We've developed proprietary algorithms to:

  • Entity resolution: Matching carriers across databases despite variations in names, addresses, and identifiers
  • Network analysis: Mapping relationships between carriers, brokers, shippers, and affiliated companies
  • Anomaly detection: Identifying unusual patterns that may indicate fraud, safety risks, or rapid changes in operations
  • Predictive scoring: Calculating forward-looking risk scores, growth probabilities, and market positioning metrics
  • Geographic intelligence: Converting raw location data into actionable insights about lane density, facility locations, and service territories

Coverage and Scale

Our unified database covers:

  • 2.3 million registered motor carriers
  • 12 million inspection records
  • 800,000 active commercial fleets
  • 4 million commercial vehicles with detailed VIN-level specifications
  • 2.5 million trailers with VIN-level specifications
  • 15k fleets with detail technology and fuel card break down
  • 5+ years of historical trend data

Built for Analysis at Scale

Every data point is indexed, normalized, and made queryable through our analytics infrastructure. Whether you're tracking a single carrier's safety trajectory, analyzing electric vehicle adoption across the industry, or identifying emerging transportation corridors, our data platform provides the foundation for insight at any scale.

We believe the future of transportation requires breaking down data silos. By unifying public records with proprietary intelligence, we're creating the single source of truth for understanding America's trucking industry—one that serves fleet operators making equipment decisions, insurers pricing risk, regulators crafting policy, and investors allocating capital.
