Trucking insurance lead list calculator
For insurance agents and agencies that sell commercial truck insurance from new authority lists, renewal date lists, web quote forms and aged leads: estimate how much of a list is reachable, and what the dead numbers cost you on every campaign. Every rate is editable; nothing is stored.
Why trucking insurance lead lists go bad
- New authority lists are built from registration records, and the phone on the record can be a filing service or a number the owner no longer uses.
- A new trucking company's number is called by many agents at once, and some owners stop answering or change the number.
- Renewal date lists are worked a year or more after the record was created, and small carriers close or change numbers in that time.
- Web quote forms can carry a fake or mistyped number from someone who only wanted to compare prices.
- A trucking list can mix office landlines, VoIP lines and cell phones, and a text send to a landline is paid for and never arrives.
- Numbers that are disconnected get reassigned, so an old lead can ring a stranger.
How to get your real numbers
- Pull a random sample of 500 to 1,000 numbers from your trucking lead list.
- Validate it against live carrier data with TrueSearch for Business.
- Enter the dead, landline and VoIP percentages you get back above.
- Repeat per source (new authority, renewal date, web quote, aged) to see which one holds the most bad numbers.

Are the default rates typical for trucking insurance lead lists?
No. They are editable placeholders, not industry statistics. Bad-number rates depend on where the list came from and how old it is. Validate a sample of your own list and enter what you find.
Can I clean a trucking lead list from my lead vendor or CRM?
Yes, if it is a CSV or Excel file. Upload it to TrueSearch for Business and download it back with each number marked valid or dead, with its line type (mobile, landline, VoIP or toll-free) and carrier.
Should I remove landlines from a trucking insurance list?
Not automatically. A carrier's office line can be a landline or a VoIP business line and still be the right number for a phone call. Standard landlines cannot receive SMS, so they should come out of a text send. The line type column lets you split the list by channel instead of deleting rows.
Does validation tell me the number belongs to the person on the lead?
No. A validation check covers the phone number itself: whether it is valid, its line type and its carrier. It does not confirm who answers it. A valid number can still reach a dispatcher, a filing service or a new owner instead of the person who buys the insurance.
Does a valid result mean I am allowed to call or text the lead?
No. Validation checks the phone number, not consent or permission to contact. Calls and texts are covered by federal and state telemarketing rules, including the TCPA, and many owner-operators use a personal cell phone as the business number. Confirm your program with counsel.
Does this check consent or Do Not Call lists?
No. The calculator only estimates reachability, and a validation check covers validity, line type and carrier. It does not verify consent or check a number against Do Not Call or litigator lists. Keep your own opt-out records and use the official National Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov) where it applies.
This guide is general information, not legal advice. TrueSearch for Business checks validity, line type and carrier from licensed telecom data. It does not check the National Do Not Call Registry, state DNC lists or the FCC Reassigned Numbers Database. Not a consumer reporting agency; not for FCRA purposes.
