Industry Challenges

Unique Compliance Challenges in Truckload & Regional Motor Carriers

Every industry faces distinct compliance hurdles. Here's what we help you overcome.

1

Elevated CSA Scores Threatening Safety Rating

Inspection spikes and violation trends can rapidly erode safety ratings, triggering FMCSA interventions, insurance premium increases of 15-30%, and lost shipper confidence that directly impacts lane assignments and contract renewals.

2

Driver File and Credential Gaps Leading to Conditional Ratings

Manual DQF management creates missing medical cards, expired MVR reviews, and undocumented training—the most common root causes of conditional ratings that can sideline your entire fleet during peak season and damage your operating authority.

3

Risk of Dispatching Prohibited Drivers

Without regular Clearinghouse monitoring, prohibited drivers may be dispatched, exposing carriers to civil penalties up to $16,000 per violation under current FMCSA enforcement guidelines, potential Out-of-Service orders, and significant liability exposure in the event of an incident.
