DOT Compliance Services for Every Type of Carrier
From your first USDOT filing to your first safety audit, here’s what we handle at each stage — and who it’s built for.
FMCSA Filing & Registrations
Every carrier starts here. This covers your USDOT number and MC operating authority, BOC-3 process agent filing, UCR registration, SCAC filing for carriers using EDI or customs documentation, and the biennial MCS-150 update that keeps your USDOT number active. Filing incorrectly — or missing a renewal — can expose your business to fines, delays, or a deactivated USDOT number.
Who it’s for: new trucking companies and owner-operators applying for their first authority, and existing carriers adding vehicles, expanding into new states, or due for their MCS-150 renewal.
Next step: Apply for your DOT number or call +1-877-358-3976 to confirm which filings your operation needs.
DOT Compliance Programs
Once you’re operating, FMCSA requires ongoing programs to stay road-legal. This includes DOT drug and alcohol testing, driver qualification file management, Clearinghouse compliance queries and reporting, Hours of Service support, and ELD compliance for your logging devices. These aren’t optional add-ons — they’re federal requirements that FMCSA can audit at any time.
Who it’s for: any FMCSA-regulated company with CDL drivers or safety-sensitive employees — trucking companies, bus and passenger carriers, and hazmat transporters alike.
Next step: Enroll your drivers and fleet in the programs that apply to your operation.
CSA Score Management & Safety Audit Prep
Every new carrier is assigned a DOT auditor within 3–6 months of their initial filing. Our CSA score management tracks and improves your safety rating before it draws scrutiny, and our DOT safety inspection support reviews your records and trains your team ahead of that audit. Staying ahead of it means fewer surprises during roadside inspections and a lower chance of losing your operating authority.
Who it’s for: carriers approaching their audit window, or any business seeing violations creep into their CSA score.
Next step: Talk to a specialist about where your CSA score stands today.
