DOT & Trucking Compliance Services for Motor Carriers
One compliance partner for your entire fleet — from driver files to audit day. We handle the records, monitoring, testing, and training that keep your authority healthy, so you can focus on running the business.
What Are DOT & Trucking Compliance Services?
DOT and trucking compliance services keep a motor carrier in good standing with the safety regulations the FMCSA enforces — the rules covering driver qualification, motor vehicle records, drug & alcohol testing, the Clearinghouse, and safety performance.
For a small or mid-size carrier, the hard part isn’t understanding the rules — it’s keeping up with all of them at once while running the business. Compliance behaves less like a checklist and more like a web: a lapsed medical card, a missed query, an un-reviewed violation, and suddenly your authority is at risk. ClaimShield ties those moving parts into one managed program with a dedicated consultant, so nothing slips between vendors.

Setup & Driver File Build-Out
We enroll drivers, build qualification files, and stand up monitoring, testing, and training — so it’s off your desk.

Records, expirations, and requirements are tracked continuously. You hear from us when something needs attention.

Why Motor Carriers Choose ClaimShield
One Partner, One Fee
MVRs, PSPs, drug testing, driver files, training, safety scores — one monthly fee per driver covers it. No five vendors, no surprise bills.
A Consultant Who Knows Your Name
Every account gets a dedicated consultant who learns your business. When you call, you talk to someone who already knows the situation.
DOT + OSHA Under One Roof
A trucking company with a shop, a yard, or a warehouse has OSHA exposure too. We handle both — something no pure-trucking competitor can say.
Technology That Runs in the Background
Expirations tracked automatically. Violations flagged as they appear. Missing records caught before an audit does. You only hear from us when it matters.

DOT & Trucking Compliance FAQs
How much do DOT & trucking compliance services cost?
ClaimShield works on one predictable monthly fee per driver that covers your whole program — no per-service or per-filing charges. A full-time compliance person costs $70–100K a year; we handle an entire fleet for a fraction of that. Exact pricing depends on your fleet and the services you need, so the best next step is a short conversation.
What does ClaimShield actually handle?
We manage the ongoing, driver-side compliance that keeps your authority healthy: MVR monitoring, FMCSA Clearinghouse, driver qualification files, drug & alcohol testing, PSP and CDLIS screening, employment verification, safety-score tracking, and safety training — all backed by a dedicated consultant.
Do you handle both driver files and vehicle files?
Our core focus is driver and safety compliance — driver qualification files, screening, testing, training, and monitoring. We’ll tell you plainly what we manage directly and where we coordinate with the right resource, so nothing falls through the cracks.
What’s the difference between DOT and FMCSA compliance?
The DOT (Department of Transportation) is the parent agency; the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) is the division that writes and enforces the safety regulations for commercial motor carriers. In practice, most “DOT compliance” for trucking means meeting FMCSA’s rules on drivers, testing, records, and safety — which is exactly what we manage.
Can ClaimShield handle OSHA compliance for my trucking company too?
Yes. Many carriers also have OSHA exposure through shops, yards, and warehouses. Our OSHA division provides safety training, consulting, and on-site auditing — so your DOT and workplace-safety compliance live with one partner.
How do you help us prepare for a DOT audit?
Because we keep your driver files, MVRs, testing records, and training documented and current, your records are audit-ready year-round. When a review comes, your dedicated consultant helps you assemble what’s requested and prepare your response.
Can you help a brand-new or small carrier?
Absolutely — small and mid-size carriers are our sweet spot. New carriers face the same regulations as 500-truck fleets without the staff to manage them. We build the compliance foundation so you can focus on running the business.
