Industry Challenges
Unique Compliance Challenges in Owner-Operators & Small Fleets
Every industry faces distinct compliance hurdles. Here's what we help you overcome.
1
Zero Internal Compliance Resources or Expertise
Owner-operators and small carriers rarely employ dedicated compliance staff, making it nearly impossible to keep pace with evolving FMCSA requirements, Clearinghouse updates, and credential tracking—while simultaneously running the business and driving revenue.
2
Single Violation Can Sideline Entire Operation
A single failed inspection, missed random test, or expired credential can put your only truck Out-of-Service, jeopardizing cash flow, customer relationships, and operating authority when you have no backup resources or contingency plans.
3
Enterprise-Priced Services Beyond Small Fleet Budgets
Traditional TPAs and compliance services are priced for large fleets, making professional compliance management financially out of reach for 1-10 truck operators who need the same quality support at a sustainable cost structure.
