A DOT audit can happen at any time. Being unprepared can lead to major violations and fines. Our compliance experts help you prepare for DOT safety audits, organize required documentation, and resolve compliance gaps before inspections occur.
Every motor carrier operating under FMCSA authority must file a BOC-3 designation of process agents. We handle your BOC-3 filing quickly and correctly, ensuring your authority remains active and compliant.
FMCSA requires trucking companies to maintain a drug and alcohol testing program for safety-sensitive drivers. We enroll your drivers in a fully compliant DOT drug & alcohol consortium, including random testing program management.
Fuel tax reporting can be complicated and time-consuming. Our team manages your IFTA reporting and filings, ensuring accurate tax submissions and avoiding penalties.
Motor carriers must update their MCS-150 form every two years to maintain FMCSA compliance. We ensure your MCS-150 updates are filed correctly and on time.
Annual Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is required for most trucking companies operating interstate. We manage your UCR filings and renewals, preventing costly compliance violations.
Driver safety records are a critical part of DOT compliance. We help trucking companies monitor MVR reports and driver records to maintain compliant driver qualification files.
