DOT compliance, managed

Your compliance,
handled.
Your trucks, moving.

Former DOT auditors run your driver files, your hours and your quarterly filings — and you watch the whole thing in one place, instead of asking who has the folder.

What We Handle

Everything we take off your plate.

Each of these is work we do for you, in one system you can see into — run by people who have sat on the other side of the audit table.

HOS Compliance Audits

Line-by-line review of driver logs to catch form-and-manner errors, false logs, and pattern violations before FMCSA does.

IFTA / Fuel Tax Reporting

Quarterly mileage and fuel reconciliation so your IFTA filings match your ELD data — no red flags, no re-filings.

DOT Audit Prep & Defense

Mock audits, file remediation, and an auditor sitting beside you when FMCSA shows up for a New Entrant or CR audit.

Driver Qualification File Mgmt

DQF builds, gap audits, and renewal tracking for MVRs, medical cards, and annual reviews — nothing expires unnoticed.

Drug & Alcohol (DER) Support

Designated Employer Representative support, random pool enrollment, Clearinghouse queries, and reasonable-suspicion training.

ELD Compliance Consulting

Device setup, malfunction handling, edit policies, and driver training so your ELD data holds up under scrutiny.

CSA Score Monitoring

Monthly BASIC tracking with alerts before a score crosses an intervention threshold, plus a corrective action plan.

Safety Training Programs

Driver and dispatcher training on HOS rules, inspection prep, and seasonal hazards — delivered in plain, practical terms.

Integrations

Works with the systems you already run.

Your ELD, your shop software and your compliance provider hold pieces of the same operation. We are wiring IFTAX into them so the miles, inspections and documents reach us on their own, instead of being re-keyed by somebody in your office.

Why It Matters

A missed log entry costs more than the fine.

Violations compound — into out-of-service orders, higher premiums, and lost contracts with brokers who check your record before they check your rates.

$1K–$16K
Per Violation

Typical FMCSA civil penalty range for HOS and record-of-duty-status violations, before any out-of-service order is issued.

1 in 5
Roadside Inspections

Rough industry rate at which a vehicle or driver is placed out of service during a roadside inspection — each one a lost dispatch.

Up to 40%
Premium Impact

Insurance premium increase carriers commonly report after a serious CSA BASIC deterioration or a preventable-accident finding.

How We Work

Four steps. No surprises.

Same process whether you're a 5-truck fleet or a 500-truck carrier — scaled to what your operation actually needs.

STEP 01

Assess

We pull your CSA scores, ELD data, and DQ files to build a real picture of where you stand.

STEP 02

Audit

A full compliance audit against current FMCSA regulations, flagging every gap by severity and BASIC category.

STEP 03

Fix

We correct files, retrain drivers and dispatch, and file any corrective documentation required to close the gaps.

STEP 04

Monitor

Ongoing monthly monitoring with alerts before a score crosses a threshold — so fixes stay fixed.

Regulatory Watch

Straight from FMCSA & DOT.

Current rule changes and enforcement updates, linked directly to the official federal source — not a paraphrased rumor mill.

FMCSA Newsroom

Three ELD models are off the registered device list

FMCSA removed the PSS ELD, Black Bear ELD and RT ELD Plus from its approved list. A carrier still running one of them is treated as operating with no ELD at all — which means an out-of-service order at the roadside, not a warning.

Federal Register

Electronic DVIRs are compliant

Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports may be completed and kept electronically alongside HOS records. This was a grey area that came up repeatedly in compliance reviews; it is not one any more.

FMCSA Regulations

Brokers and freight forwarders: financial responsibility applies

FMCSA's updated financial responsibility requirements for brokers and freight forwarders are mandatory, filed through the agency's registration system. The extension that once applied has passed.

Each item links to FMCSA.gov, which is the authority — rules change, and a page is never the place to verify one. Check there before making a filing decision.

FMCSA Updates

Hours of Service, as your dispatchers have to apply them

The 11-hour drive limit, the 14-hour window and the 30-minute break decide what a load can be scheduled against. Section 2 of the checklist lists every check we run against them.

HOS Rules

The split sleeper berth, and where it goes wrong

Splitting the ten hours is legal and routinely logged wrong. The pairing has to be 8/2 or 7/3, and neither period counts against the 14-hour window — miss that and a compliant rest reads as a violation.

Seasonal Safety

Adverse conditions: the two extra hours, and the note that defends them

Adverse driving conditions extend driving by up to two hours — but only for weather that could not have been known at dispatch, and only if the driver's annotation says what it was. An unexplained long day is a violation.
