Compliance is what stops trucks — not the road.

One expired registration, one missed fuel tax return or one letter from FMCSA can park your truck. These are the situations drivers bring to our office every week.

You're ready to stop driving for someone else but don't know where to start: DOT, MC, BOC-3, UCR…

We file it all, in order
02

“My fuel taxes are due”

Quarterly IFTA returns with miles and gallons for every state you drove. One mistake means penalties and interest.

“I got an audit letter”

New entrant safety audit or compliance review coming up and your files aren't ready.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to start my own trucking company?

Usually: a corporation or LLC with its EIN, a USDOT number, MC operating authority (if you haul for hire across state lines) with BOC-3, UCR, IRP apportion tags, IFTA, a random drug & alcohol program and Clearinghouse registration. Call us and we'll tell you exactly what applies to your case.

How long does it take to get MC authority?

After FMCSA grants the application there's a mandatory waiting (protest) period before the authority becomes active, and your BOC-3 must be on file. It typically takes a few weeks — we file everything in the right order so there are no delays on your side.

When are IFTA fuel taxes due?

IFTA returns are quarterly: April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Send us your miles and fuel receipts and we prepare and file the return.

Who has to file Form 2290?

Heavy vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 lbs or more that use public highways. The tax period runs July to June and the return is generally due by August 31. You need the stamped Schedule 1 for your tags.

I'm an owner-operator. Do I need a random drug program?

Yes. If you hold a CDL and do safety-sensitive work, you must be in a DOT random drug & alcohol testing program — owner-operators join through a consortium — and be registered in the Clearinghouse. We enroll you.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. We serve our clients in English and Spanish — hablamos español.
