DOT Compliance Oversight
Hours-of-service, ELD, drug & alcohol, and safety programs — reviewed against your real operating posture, not the binder in the cabinet.
Compliance is the discipline most carriers learn about the hard way: during an audit, after a wreck, or when a CSA score quietly closes the door on the brokers you depended on. Most carriers we engage with have a compliance program on paper that bears no resemblance to what their drivers actually do in the cab.
DOT Compliance Oversight is a clear-eyed look at where your stated compliance posture and your operating reality diverge — and what to do about it before a regulator, an insurer, or a plaintiff's attorney does the reviewing for you.
What we actually do
Hours-of-service reality check
We pull 90 days of ELD logs and reconcile them against fuel receipts, gate-in/gate-out times, and dispatch records. Editing patterns that flag in an audit, we surface first.
Driver qualification file review
Sample audit of DQ files against current FMCSA standards. The gaps that get carriers downgraded — we find them on a Tuesday, not during an inspection.
Drug & alcohol program audit
Random pool size, consortium reporting, return-to-duty handling, and Clearinghouse query compliance.
Safety program posture
Crash review, post-crash drug screening, training records, and vehicle inspection patterns mapped to your CSA scores.
