Find operators

Find logistics companies by fleet, lane, and hiring signal

Carrier, broker, and third-party logistics are three businesses wearing one word. Sorting them is the first job, because your product fits one and not the others.

Start freeRead the docs

Ask what the company owns. A carrier owns trucks and hires drivers. A broker owns relationships and hires sales. A warehouse operator owns space and hires pickers. Each one shows up differently in job postings, on the site, and in the way the business describes itself to customers.

That is why hiring does most of the qualifying work here. Blitz API reads the postings first, with TheirStack behind it. Blitz API also reads each company's LinkedIn page for headcount and the head office, and Serper's maps search finds terminals and warehouses carrying a local listing. The contact chain starts at Blitz API, with LeadMagic behind it.

Example searches

Ask for it the way you'd say it

Each example is a request in plain words, with what it returns underneath.

  • Carrier or broker

    freight companies in the southeast that are hiring drivers rather than sales reps

    The posting mix separates asset carriers from brokerages more reliably than anything a company writes on its own homepage.

  • Warehouse footprint

    third party logistics providers with more than three warehouse locations

    Warehouse count is not a search filter, so this returns companies. Warehouses from maps listings link back to each one as rows, so a regional operator reads as one account with its sites underneath.

  • The operations owner

    find the vp of operations or the director of transportation at each company

    Dispatch and safety leads resolve here too, which matters when the operations seat is the one actually holding the budget.

Plays

Three motions you can run this week

Each one is a chain of OXYGEN primitives: the same hosted objects your workspace already has, composed.

  • Sort the three business models

    Carriers, brokers, and warehouse operators end up in three segments, not one list.

    1. Tables
    2. Knowledge Graph
    3. Records
    4. Tags
    1. 1Classify each company from its postings and site copy against definitions you wrote first.
    2. 2Promote the label onto company records and tag them, so a later table can read the split instead of redoing it.

  • Terminal and warehouse map

    A regional operator becomes one account with every site attached to it.

    1. Tables
    2. Records
    1. 1Expand facilities into rows and link them to the company record above them.
    2. 2Work the site nearest the rep and keep corporate contacts on the parent.

  • Hiring volume as a size proxy

    You rank by growth without waiting for a fleet number nobody publishes.

    1. Signals
    2. Tables
    3. Records
    1. 1Bind a weekly hiring search on these companies as a feed, so each new posting lands as a dated row in a postings table.
    2. 2Count each company's postings with a lookup column, sort on the count, save that view, and promote only the band you want to work.

Who you can reach

Roles you can find at carriers, brokers, and 3PLs

Reachability is per channel: a role marked for mobile is one the phone waterfall usually resolves, not a guarantee for every record.

Filters you can search on

  • Carrier, broker, or logistics provider
  • Fleet size band where published
  • Lanes and regions served
  • Warehouse and terminal count from site rows
  • Open driver, dispatch, or sales roles
  • Specialization such as refrigerated or flatbed
  • Systems named in job postings
  • Years operating

Company data and facilities resolve well. No source here carries fleet size, so it is inferred from hiring volume, terminal count, and the language on a careers page. Owner-operators and very small carriers are visible as listings but thin on named contacts.

Data sources

Data sources and CRM connections

  • People Data Labs

    A second company record with headcount, industry, and head office, run when you pick it by name.

  • Serper

    Google Maps listings for terminals, yards, and warehouses trading under a local address.

  • TheirStack

    Job postings, which separate an asset carrier from a brokerage faster than any description.

  • Blitz API

    Work email for operations and transportation leaders, found from each person's LinkedIn profile as the first email lane.

  • LeadMagic

    Mobile numbers for dispatch and fleet managers, who live on a phone rather than in an inbox.

Use managed credits where available, or connect a supported provider key on an eligible paid plan. Your provider bills its calls; OXYGEN adds a per-call platform fee. Signed-in CRM connections such as HubSpot have no per-call fee. Connected sending accounts reserve monthly credits. See pricing and supported integrations.

Limits

Where this stops

  • OXYGEN does not read the public US carrier register, where carriers report their power units. Every size number here is inferred from hiring, facilities, and careers copy, so keep it as a band and confirm it in conversation.

FAQ

Questions people ask first

How do you tell a carrier from a broker?
By what they hire. Driver and mechanic postings mean assets on the road; recruiter and carrier sales postings mean a brokerage. Site copy usually agrees once you know what to look for.
Can I filter by lane?
By region and terminal footprint, yes. Specific lane data is commercial and unpublished, so use the regions a company advertises and the locations it operates from as the proxy.
What is the best trigger in this market?
A hiring burst. Logistics companies staff ahead of volume, so a sudden rise in driver or dispatch postings puts you in front of an operations team already changing something.
Do owner-operators show up?
As listings, yes, usually with a phone number and no named contact. They deserve a separate segment worked by phone rather than a place in the main list.
How do I handle multi-site operators?
Link the facilities to one company record and keep the rep who works each site on the site row. The account stays whole in reporting while a rep still works something local.
Can I see what a run cost afterwards?
Yes. Every column run records credits, provider, and errors per row. The cost of a list stays inspectable after the fact instead of appearing as one line on an invoice.
