FleetSeek Alternative: ProsperFleet
Seeking FleetSeek? FleetSeek was acquired years ago by one of its competitors, and isn’t available anymore as a database under its own brand.
We created an alternative, ProsperFleet, when our fleet supplier customers’ sales and marketing teams asked for fleet data, in addition to our analytics. We offer trucking and fleet data that our customers weren’t finding anywhere else:
Light-duty commercial vehicles
ProsperFleet data includes light-duty fleets:
- Field sales and executive fleets
- Motor pool sedans and SUVs
- Contractor pickups and cargo van fleet owners
- “Non-DOT” fleets and “white van fleets”
This allows you to reach the vast market of field service and facility service fleets, contractors like plumbers and electricians, and vans and truck fleets that are doing last mile and local delivery.
This chart gives you an idea of the size of the light-duty market compared to medium and heavy duty.
Number of U.S. commercial vehicles, in millions, owned or leased by companies and government agencies that have 5+ vehicles.
Many contacts for a fleet
Most fleet data sources like FleetSeek provide only one or a few contacts. Databases with data solely from the FMCSA often have only the FMCSA contact. These are often general emails like “safety@” and these contacts receive a constant avalanche of cold email because they’re easily publicly available.
In addition, at medium and large fleets, there are many decision-makers and influencers that evaluate fleet vendors. Our data has many contacts to reach buying committees: fleet, transportation, maintenance, general managers, operations, safety, DOT compliance, driver training, driver recruiting, HR, finance, procurement/purchasing, public works, etc. As well as owner, president and CEO which are great for small fleets.
Focus on larger fleets
About half of companies with vehicles have one vehicle. In FMCSA data, the vast majority of data is owner-operators with one Class 8 tractor. If you are looking for owner-operators, data is plentiful. But many of our customers are looking for fleets with more vehicles. Our data begins with 5+ vehicles. There’s no wading through mostly very small fleets, to find the fleets you want.
Enhancements to FMCSA DOT data
Few trucking databases do significant enhancements to the DOT data from FMCSA, in a way that meets needs for sales and marketing. Most FMCSA data sources are designed for freight brokers who need to drill into the risk profiles and other details of a small number of specific motor carriers.
But for email campaigns, outbound calls, and field sales visits, you need to quickly choose many trucking companies that fit your ideal customer. Our data filters are designed with sales and marketing needs in mind, which differ from the data that shippers and freight brokers want to see.
Company hierarchy
Enterprise sales teams are often looking for company hierarchy – parent companies and their subsidiaries, divisions and sister companies. This is useful if you’ve sold into one division, and want to explore fleets at other divisions and newly-acquired companies.
Search from very local to nationwide
Our plans aren’t geographic based, so you can search wherever you want. Search anywhere nationally, down to 5 miles around a ZIP code.

What fleet data is right for you?
Not all fleet data is the same.
If you use the wrong data for your needs, you miss selling to many fleets in your market. Assess your specific needs, and get a course of action.
