How could I go about automating a search of this site's database? 
I'm not interested in all the details they present on the output form, just  
the bare basics. 
That is, trucking company name, city location, and zip code and a couple of  
other fields 
With over a million records, manual searching is out of the question. 
Every trucking company is required to have, and display, a USDOT number.  
Using that field as a starting point, one might be able to extract the rest  
of the information. 
Going by a name search, the site only returns 500 matches and does not care  
where in the name the field appears. 
 
I'm open to suggestions.
