DOT compliance for small carriers

The compliance suite that fills itself in.

Every compliance product ever sold to a small trucking or bus company is an empty filing cabinet: you still do the gathering, typing, and chasing. Mile Marker 3 sends software agents to do that part — pulling your FMCSA record, reading your document inbox, logging your tolls — so the dashboard is current when you open it.

No hardware. No per-driver fees. No contract — month to month, cancel anytime.

Why this exists

Compliance work is real. The data entry never had to be.

91.5%of the 2.2 million FMCSA-registered carriers run 10 or fewer vehicles — companies where the owner is also the safety department.
1 missed date— a medical certificate, a CDL, an annual inspection — is all it takes to put a vehicle out of service or blemish a clean record.
~½ the priceof legacy compliance suites at typical published and quoted per-truck rates — because agents do the clerical work, not billed humans.
How it works

Agents gather. The dashboard shows. You decide.

Connect what you already have

Your USDOT number, a forwarding address for paperwork, and — if you want the full ledger — sign-ins for your toll and dispatch portals. Setup is a conversation, not a data-entry project: our onboarding rebuilds driver and vehicle files from the documents you already have.

Agents keep it current

Software agents pull your public FMCSA safety record monthly, file every document that hits the inbox, log tolls and fuel from your own portal accounts, and watch dispatch boards for trips without an assigned, qualified driver.

You get the exceptions

The dashboard is always up to date, and the only emails you get are the ones that matter: a credential inside its 60/30/7-day escalation window, a safety-score movement, an uncovered trip. No news is genuinely no news.

What's in the box

Six modules, one honest dashboard.

CSA / SMS monitoring

Your BASIC scores against FMCSA intervention thresholds, refreshed monthly — including a plain-English view for small fleets whose records are below FMCSA's scoring minimums, which is most of them.

Expirations engine

Medical certificates, CDLs, annual inspections, registrations, insurance — every dated credential for every driver and vehicle, with 60/30/7-day escalation so nothing expires quietly.

Document inbox

Forward or snap any compliance document; it's read, filed to the right driver or vehicle, and its dates feed the expirations engine automatically.

Toll & fuel ledger

Agents sign in to your toll portals on your behalf and keep a per-vehicle ledger — rebilling, dispute evidence, and an IFTA-ready quarterly data pack.

Dispatch coverage

For carriers running marketplace or contract schedules: alerts when a published trip has no assigned driver, or a driver whose qualifications conflict with it.

DQ file builder

Driver qualification files built and maintained from real documents — including onboarding reconstruction from the email-and-shoebox archive every small carrier actually has.

Pricing

Published, flat, and roughly half the going rate.

Legacy suites quote per truck, per driver, per module, after a sales call. Ours is on the page: three tiers, vehicle count straight off your MCS-150, nothing per-driver, and your rate never rises while you stay subscribed.

Talk to us about Interstate

Founding pilot — first 10 carriers: 90 days free on Highway, then half price for a year, rate locked for 24 months. In exchange: one honest 30-minute feedback call a month, and a testimonial only if you're actually happy. The one-page agreement says exactly that, in plain language.

Straight answers

Things you should ask any compliance vendor.

Do you replace my ELD?

No. Your ELD is hardware in the cab; we integrate with major ELD platforms' APIs to read hours-of-service data into the same dashboard as everything else. We're the compliance layer, not another black box on the dash.

How do agents access my toll and dispatch portals?

With credentials you provide, used only to run the service, stored encrypted, deleted when you leave. Some portals resist automation — device checks, one-time codes — and we're honest about that: where a portal fights back, we use fallbacks, and where we can't, we tell you rather than pretend.

Is this legal advice? Does it guarantee compliance?

No, and anyone who says their software guarantees compliance is selling something else. You stay responsible for your operation; we make sure nothing expires, moves, or arrives without you knowing about it.

Who's behind this?

Mile Marker 3 is built inside a working, USDOT-registered interstate passenger carrier with a Satisfactory safety rating — the tools run on our own operation before they run on yours. We're in founding-pilot stage and say so plainly: early customers get the pricing above because they're helping us finish the product.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

It's yours. Full export in open formats anytime, including on the way out, and we delete our copy within 30 days of your request.
