Built by a commercial insurance agent tired of stale lead lists

DOTnow was created by Joel Gonzalez, a commercial insurance agent in Miami, Florida. After years of buying lead lists that turned out to be graveyards of disconnected numbers and carriers that had already bound coverage, he built the tool he wished existed.

The idea is simple: FMCSA publishes every new trucking authority filing as public data. Instead of waiting for a lead vendor to package, mark up, and resell that data weeks later, DOTnow pulls it directly and puts it in front of agents the same day — with verified phone numbers and renewal estimates attached.

Why it exists

Commercial trucking insurance agents are some of the hardest-working producers in the industry. But too many agents spend their mornings dialing stale numbers from recycled lists while brand-new carriers — guaranteed buyers within a 3–7 day window — sit in a federal database no one showed them. DOTnow closes that gap.

How it is different

No recycled leads. No resold data. No "exclusive" lists that every competitor also bought. Just live FMCSA filings, verified phone numbers, and tools to build both a new-authority pipeline and a renewal pipeline — in one subscription priced for independent agents.
