What's Included

Six compliance services, one monthly price

📊

IFTA Filing

We prepare quarterly IFTA returns from your jurisdiction mileage and fuel records. Standard due dates are April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31; weekend or holiday deadlines move to the next business day under IFTA rules.

🛡️

DOT Compliance Monitoring

We track every expiration date that matters: medical certificates, CDL renewals, annual vehicle inspections, insurance certificates, IRP renewals. You get alerts before anything lapses.

📈

CSA Score Tracking

We review your available FMCSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) data monthly across the seven BASIC safety areas and alert you to changes. SMS results help prioritize interventions; they are not a federal safety rating. We help prepare DataQs requests for inaccurate records; removal depends on the review outcome.

🧪

Drug & Alcohol Testing

We coordinate your DOT-required drug and alcohol testing through our consortium partner. Random selections, clinic scheduling, Clearinghouse queries — all handled.

⏱️

HOS Violation Alerts

We review your ELD data for Hours of Service violations before FMCSA does. Driving time limits, break requirements, weekly caps — we catch problems early so you can fix them.

📋

Audit Preparation

When FMCSA comes knocking, you'll be ready. We maintain your compliance file, organize documents, and walk you through exactly what auditors look for.

Why Carriers Trust Our Compliance Package

Stay ahead of FMCSA — not behind on fines

✅

Address violations early

Violations can lead to civil penalties and out-of-service orders. The consequence depends on the rule, the facts and the current penalty schedule; monitoring helps identify issues that need corrective action.

⏰

Never miss a deadline

IFTA, UCR, MCS-150, medical certs, CDL renewals — we track every date and alert you in advance.

🔒

Protect your authority

Missing required filings or allowing insurance to lapse can threaten your operating status. We help track deadlines and resolve documentation gaps; the carrier remains responsible for compliance.

📁

Prepare for audits

New Entrant, Compliance Review, or desk audit — your files will be organized and ready.

💰

One monthly price, everything included

$99/month covers IFTA filing, drug testing coordination, CSA monitoring, and more. No surprise fees.

🚛

We handle the paperwork

Compliance is confusing. We deal with FMCSA so you can focus on driving and making money.

How to Get Started

4 simple steps to full DOT compliance

1

Sign up for the package

Add the Compliance Package to your dispatch service. We'll collect your current compliance documents and set up monitoring.

2

We build your compliance file

We organize your Driver Qualification File, verify all documents are current, and identify any gaps that need fixing.

3

Ongoing monitoring begins

Available SMS data reviewed monthly, document expirations tracked, HOS records reviewed and testing schedules coordinated. The carrier and driver still need to act on alerts and meet their legal responsibilities.

4

Stay compliant, stay driving

We help with applicable IFTA filings, compliance records and audit preparation. Keep your records current and act on any notices or corrective steps that require carrier or driver action.

Common Questions

What is DOT compliance?+
DOT compliance means meeting the safety rules that apply to your operation, including driver qualifications, HOS, vehicle maintenance, testing and required registrations. State rules may also apply. Violations have different consequences; there is no single minimum daily fine for every compliance issue.
What's included in the $99/month package?+
Everything: quarterly IFTA filing, DOT compliance monitoring, CSA score tracking and alerts, drug & alcohol testing coordination through our consortium partner, HOS violation monitoring, and annual audit preparation. No hidden fees.
Do I still need to join a drug testing consortium?+
Owner-operators subject to the DOT drug and alcohol testing rules must work with a consortium/third-party administrator and participate in an eligible random testing pool. We coordinate enrollment through our partner. Request the current consortium and testing charges before enrolling; those charges are separate from the package.
What happens if I get a DOT audit?+
We've already been preparing for it. Your compliance file will be organized with all required documents: Driver Qualification Files, HOS records, maintenance logs, drug testing documentation, insurance proof, and company policies. We'll walk you through the process.
What are CSA scores and why should I care?+
FMCSA uses SMS data in seven BASIC safety areas to prioritize carriers for intervention. Percentiles compare eligible carriers with peers and differ from an official safety rating. Poor results can lead to investigation; they do not automatically revoke authority. We monitor available data and help request review of inaccurate records.
What's IFTA and why do I need it?+
IFTA simplifies fuel-tax reporting for qualified motor vehicles operating in two or more member jurisdictions. Qualification depends on vehicle weight or axle configuration, not simply crossing a state line. Licensed carriers generally file quarterly mileage and fuel reports, including zero-activity returns when required. We need complete trip and fuel records, not just dispatch bookings.
Can I add the Compliance Package later?+
Yes. You can add it anytime. New interstate property carriers in the New Entrant program should prepare for a Safety Audit within their first 12 months of operations and the full 18-month monitoring period.
What fines am I at risk for without compliance monitoring?+
Civil penalties vary by violation and can be adjusted for inflation; check the current FMCSA penalty schedule and any enforcement notice. Some violations can also lead to driver, vehicle or carrier out-of-service orders. A missed biennial MCS-150 update can deactivate your USDOT number. Monitoring does not replace correcting the underlying issue.
Does FF Dispatch charge extra for this beyond $99/month?+
The package service price is $99/month. Government registration and query fees, consortium membership and testing charges are separate. UCR fees vary by registration year and fleet bracket; buy Clearinghouse queries through the employer account. Confirm current official fees and the partner quote before paying.
I'm a new carrier — do I really need this?+
New interstate property carriers should prepare for a New Entrant Safety Audit within 12 months of starting operations. A failed audit requires timely corrective action; failure to satisfy FMCSA can result in registration revocation and an out-of-service order. We help organize records and identify gaps, but cannot guarantee an audit result.
