Most EHS providers won’t touch fleet safety — the regulations are a separate world, and the exposure is enormous. We’ve held transportation safety oversight for thousands of tractor-trailers: driver qualification, hours-of-service, CSA scores, and DOT audit readiness across national operations.
Most “DOT compliance” help is paperwork processing — a service that orders MVRs, files your DQ paperwork, and runs your testing pool. Useful, but it’s administration, not leadership. It won’t sit across from your insurer, won’t own your CSA strategy, and won’t connect your fleet risk to the rest of your operation.
We’re built for the operation most providers can’t serve: the one that runs a fleet and a facility. Manufacturers, distributors, and food and industrial operations with tractor-trailers don’t need a trucking-compliance vendor for the trucks and a separate EHS firm for the plant — they need one senior leader who owns the entire cost of risk, on both sides of the dock door.
Order MVRs, manage files, run testing pools. Transactional, per-driver, volume-priced. They keep your paperwork current — nothing more.
Built for pure-play carriers, 5 to 50 trucks. Good at fleet compliance in isolation — but they don’t touch the plant, the environmental side, or the enterprise risk picture.
Senior EHS leadership that owns fleet and facility as one system. Enterprise-scale judgment, plant-and-fleet under one scorecard, one owner of your total cost of risk.
Fleet safety doesn’t run on OSHA. It runs on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the DOT, and a body of rules most safety professionals never learn — driver qualification, hours-of-service, drug and alcohol testing, and a public scoring system that follows your DOT number everywhere. Get it wrong and the consequences aren’t a citation on a wall; they’re rising insurance premiums, failed CSA scores that cost you contracts, and nuclear-verdict litigation exposure after a single crash.
Your Safety Measurement System scores are visible to shippers, brokers, insurers, and plaintiff attorneys. A bad score costs you freight and raises your premiums.
Plaintiff attorneys build cases on missing driver qualification files, hours-of-service violations, and maintenance gaps. Documentation is the defense.
A compliance review or intervention can put your operating authority at risk. Audit readiness isn’t optional — it’s the difference between staying on the road and being parked.
Carriers price on your safety data. A managed program with clean scores and documented systems is a lever on every renewal.
The full FMCSA program — built, documented, and managed to the same board-and-rhythm system we run for every engagement. Not a binder. A functioning compliance operation.
Complete, audit-ready DQ files — application, MVR, medical certification, road test, annual review — maintained and monitored, not just assembled once.
49 CFR Part 391
HOS compliance, ELD administration, log auditing, and violation trending — before they show up in a roadside inspection or a CSA score.
49 CFR Part 395
DOT testing program management — random pools, Clearinghouse queries and reporting, reasonable-suspicion training, and return-to-duty coordination.
49 CFR Part 382 · Part 40
Active monitoring of all seven BASICs, DataQ challenges on wrong violations, and a plan to drive scores down and keep them there.
Safety Measurement System
Systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance records, driver vehicle inspection reports, and the documentation that survives an audit.
49 CFR Part 396
DOT accident register, post-accident procedures, and a file structure that’s always ready for a compliance review or new-entrant audit.
49 CFR Part 390 · Part 385
This isn’t a service we added because it was trending. It’s earned experience — running fleet and transportation safety for national operations where the vehicle count runs into the thousands and the DOT number is watched every single day.
Real operating depth. Transportation safety leadership inside national foodservice distribution and global supply-chain operations — thousands of drivers, DOT compliance, and the CSA scores that get watched daily. We describe by scale rather than name out of respect for former employers; we’ll walk through the specifics on a call.
Fleet safety works two ways. Buy it on its own if transportation is your primary exposure — or add it to a Fractional Manager or Director engagement so your whole risk picture, plant and fleet, runs on one system.
Your DOT/FMCSA program owned end to end — for carriers, private fleets, and distributors where transportation is the core risk. Scoped to fleet size, terminal count, and CSA standing. Priced like our EHS tiers, on a flat monthly retainer.
Already running a Fractional Manager or Director engagement? Fold transportation safety in so plant and fleet share one calendar, one scorecard, and one action board — a single owner for your entire cost of risk.
Start with a short conversation and a light review of where your fleet compliance stands. You’ll know your top exposures whether or not we work together.
