Safety Compliance & Trucking Authority
At N'Spired Concierge Consulting & Development we provide you with the tools, resources and expertise that will help you to establish a successful business. Our goal is to exceed your expectations by providing you with services that will take your business to the next level.
Safety Compliance
The Department of Transportation compiles a checklist that all trucking companies must conform to. This includes items such as ensuring the driver carries certain documents in the truck with them, completes the right inspections and physicals, records hours of service, marks DOT numbers on the trucks and much more.
DOT safety standards help keep drivers and their cargo safe. While crucial to your business operations, we understand how easily your Department of Transportation compliance can slip through the cracks. But whether you’re a trucking contractor or the owner or manager of a trucking fleet, you must ensure your fleet stays within the US DOT compliance standards to avoid being put out of commission.
Being in compliance with state and federal DOT rules and regulations is a full-time job. When inspections and audits go bad it costs you time and money. Motor carriers that do not pass a DOT audit could lead to hefty fines and might threaten your DOT authority to do business nationwide. We have seen fines anywhere from $3,000 up to $75,000 as a result of a motor carrier not being in compliance.
We’re here to be your full-time partner who knows everything there is to know about state and federal DOT guidelines so you can keep your fleet running smoothly and keep costs down.

Bring us on as your compliance partner and we will work with you to put everything in place so you can meet state and federal regulations. Our goal is that when your drivers are pulled over, they’re able to pass an on-road inspection.
How We Can Assist You With DOT Safety Compliance
Why DOT Compliance and Safety Matters Complying with DOT standards means operating safer trucks and following laws set by your state’s Department of Transportation. DOT compliance standards are constantly evolving and even differ by state. That’s why it’s important to stay up to date with these regulations and standards, and further, know which standards apply to your fleet. One way of staying up to date would be performing safety audits on your vehicles. Violating DOT standards can cost trucking companies more than just a great amount of money if found to be in violation. It could cost you drivers, customers or even your business as a whole. Why US Compliance Services? There are other DOT compliance assistance companies out there.

We’re here to help you navigate the career path you’ve chosen in a way that allows you to be as successful as you want to be. Owning a business can be really rewarding if you’re doing it right.

Motor Carrier & Broker Authority
Our unique program was designed as an innovative and cost-effective solution to get started as an authorized interstate motor carrier. Whether you are going to operate a tractor-trailer coast-to-coast, a hot-shot operation, port drayage, or haul hazardous materials, we have the expertise to make sure everything is done correctly. The process of getting set-up legally means much more than just getting a USDOT number and operating authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). We’ll get you your USDOT number if that is all you need, but usually much more is needed and we’ve detailed many of those steps below. Regardless of the years of experience you might have in the trucking industry, by using N'Spired Concierge Business Consulting Developments you can be confident that you will have the necessary information to put in-place the safety management practices to pass your New Entrant Safety Audit mandated by federal regulation (§ 385.307(b)). This audit will occur any time after your third month of operation and approximately half of all new entrant motor carriers fail this audit – mostly because they were unaware of the requirements. No need to worry about what form to fill out N'Spired Concierge Business Consulting Developments will provide you with necessary forms for getting your MC authority and DOT number. We’ll take care of the paperwork, so you can get your business off the ground as fast as possible.
What IS Trucking Authority
Trucking authority also known as operating authority or motor carrier authority is permission from the government to get paid to haul freight. Before you can start your own trucking company, you have to get your operating authority. Once you have that, you can start doing business under your own MC number.
Freight brokers also have to get operating authority and are assigned an FF number, or freight forwarder number. But the FMCSA, which regulates the trucking industry, is planning to phase out MC and FF numbers. Instead, trucking companies will be identified only by their DOT numbers from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
You might also have to apply for state permits, before operating in certain states.
