Who We Are

For over a decade, our founders worked as attorneys in the DOT Safety and Compliance practice group at the nation's largest transportation law firm. They represented transportation providers of all types and sizes—from one-truck operations to publicly-traded motor carriers and motor coach operators.

Through this work, they advised clients on regulatory obligations and DOT safety best practices, guided them through compliance reviews and safety audits, and represented them in administrative and court appeals on some of the most complex legal issues facing the transportation industry. They helped carriers avoid conditional and unsatisfactory safety ratings, prevent out-of-service orders, and save thousands in DOT civil penalties.

The consulting side of law practice was always the most fulfilling—helping carriers navigate federal and state safety regulations and communicating them in ways that make intuitive sense. This passion drove the creation of Trucksafe Consulting and Trucksafe Academy.

Over the years, we observed that safety consultants generally come in two varieties: individual boots-on-the-ground consultants and large, faceless consulting corporations. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Individual consultants excel at personalized service tailored to each customer's specific circumstances. Large firms provide robust resources like compliance documents, but often lack the personal touch.

Trucksafe was founded to bridge that gap—delivering personalized DOT safety consulting combined with comprehensive training resources and customizable compliance documents, all designed to make DOT compliance accessible for carriers of every size and budget.
