MC Authority Lead Feed | Daily Carrier Prospect Data for Freight Factors

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

Land 30 of the ~400 US freight factors at $400/month and you're at $144k ARR - real money, but FMCSA data is free, the pond is tiny, and you have a 22% shot at getting there in year one.

Go-to-market motion

Cold email + LinkedIn to VP Sales / Business Development at 300-400 US freight factoring companies, targeting mid-size factors (50-500 clients) most likely to have a dedicated prospecting budget and no in-house data team.

Key risks

FMCSA new-authority data is free and public - any technically capable buyer can self-serve the same daily feed with a few hours of Python, permanently capping perceived value and pricing power
Total addressable buyer universe is only ~400 US freight factors; even aggressive penetration tops out at a lifestyle-business ceiling of ~$1.8M ARR with no natural expansion path
New MC authority contact data (phone, email) is notoriously incomplete or fraudulent - if lead-to-contact rate is poor, churn hits fast once factors realize the data quality doesn't justify the subscription
