We audit your HOS logs, fix your DQ files, and stand next to you in a DOT audit — real former auditors doing the work, not a dashboard you're left to interpret alone.
Every service below is done by people who've sat on the other side of the audit table — not a script reading your ELD data back to you.
Line-by-line review of driver logs to catch form-and-manner errors, false logs, and pattern violations before FMCSA does.
Quarterly mileage and fuel reconciliation so your IFTA filings match your ELD data — no red flags, no re-filings.
Mock audits, file remediation, and an auditor sitting beside you when FMCSA shows up for a New Entrant or CR audit.
DQF builds, gap audits, and renewal tracking for MVRs, medical cards, and annual reviews — nothing expires unnoticed.
Designated Employer Representative support, random pool enrollment, Clearinghouse queries, and reasonable-suspicion training.
Device setup, malfunction handling, edit policies, and driver training so your ELD data holds up under scrutiny.
Monthly BASIC tracking with alerts before a score crosses an intervention threshold, plus a corrective action plan.
Driver and dispatcher training on HOS rules, inspection prep, and seasonal hazards — delivered in plain, practical terms.
Violations compound — into out-of-service orders, higher premiums, and lost contracts with brokers who check your record before they check your rates.
Typical FMCSA civil penalty range for HOS and record-of-duty-status violations, before any out-of-service order is issued.
Rough industry rate at which a vehicle or driver is placed out of service during a roadside inspection — each one a lost dispatch.
Insurance premium increase carriers commonly report after a serious CSA BASIC deterioration or a preventable-accident finding.
Same process whether you're a 5-truck fleet or a 500-truck carrier — scaled to what your operation actually needs.
We pull your CSA scores, ELD data, and DQ files to build a real picture of where you stand — usually within 48 hours.
A full compliance audit against current FMCSA regulations, flagging every gap by severity and BASIC category.
We correct files, retrain drivers and dispatch, and file any corrective documentation required to close the gaps.
Ongoing monthly monitoring with alerts before a score crosses a threshold — so fixes stay fixed.
Real client growth over the years we've supported their compliance program — from a handful of trucks to full-scale fleets.
Scaled from a 3-truck operation to a 100-unit fleet, with compliance built in at every stage of growth.
From opening day to a 130+ truck fleet — safety and compliance in place before the growth, not chasing after it.
Tripled in size in three years without a compliance program that had to be rebuilt from scratch along the way.
Current rule changes and enforcement updates, linked directly to the official federal source — not a paraphrased rumor mill.
FMCSA pulled the PSS ELD, Black Bear ELD, and RT ELD Plus from its approved list. Carriers still running these devices past the grace period are now treated as operating with no ELD at all, which means an out-of-service order at the roadside.
