Your Named Compliance Expert — On Call When It Matters

Managing DOT compliance across DQ files, CSA scores, drug testing, and audits requires expertise that most fleets don’t have in-house. CDL Manager assigns you a single named expert — someone who knows your fleet, your history, and your drivers — available by direct phone and email, not a ticket queue.

Why "Contact Support" Doesn't Work for Fleet Compliance

Fleet compliance isn’t a help-desk problem. When FMCSA calls, when a driver tests positive, when an audit letter arrives — you need someone who already knows your operation, not someone reading your account from scratch in a ticket queue. The carriers with the cleanest compliance records have one thing in common: a named expert who treats their fleet like a client, not a case number.

What Your Dedicated Compliance Manager Does

Owns Your Full Compliance Picture

Your DCM maintains a real-time view of your fleet's compliance status across DQ files, CSA scores, drug and alcohol program, DOT authority, and pending obligations. They know your fleet the way an in-house compliance director would — without the salary, benefits, and turnover risk.

Direct Access — Phone and Email

You get your DCM's direct phone number and email address. Not a shared inbox. Not a ticket system. When you call, they answer or call back within the same business day. For emergencies — an audit notice, a positive test, an FMCSA inquiry — response is immediate.

Monthly Compliance Strategy Calls

A standing monthly call covers your compliance scorecard, upcoming deadlines, expiring documents, DQ file status, CSA score trends, and any regulatory changes affecting your operation. You always know exactly where you stand — and what's coming.

Emergency Availability

Priority Response

DOT audits, positive drug tests, FMCSA investigations, and compliance emergencies don't wait for business hours. Your DCM is reachable for same-business-day response on urgent matters and provides direct coordination support through every crisis.

Proactive Issue Identification

Your DCM doesn't wait for you to call with a problem. They monitor your compliance data continuously and reach out when something needs attention — a DQ document approaching expiration, a BASIC score moving toward threshold, a Clearinghouse query due.

Regulatory Change Briefings

When FMCSA issues new guidance, proposes rule changes, or updates enforcement priorities, your DCM translates what it means for your specific operation and tells you exactly what — if anything — you need to change before the effective date.

Everything Your DCM Oversees

How Your Dedicated Manager Gets Up to Speed

1

Account Assignment & Introduction

Within 24 hours of enrollment, you receive an introduction email from your assigned DCM with their direct contact information. A 30-minute onboarding call is scheduled within the first 3 business days.

2

Fleet Compliance Audit

Your DCM conducts a full compliance audit in the first two weeks — DQ files, CSA scores, drug program documentation, DOT authority status, and any active compliance issues. A written gap report is delivered to you at the end of week two.

3

90-Day Compliance Roadmap

Based on the audit, your DCM builds a prioritized 90-day action plan — addressing critical gaps first, then optimizing ongoing compliance operations. Every item is assigned a timeline and owner.

4

Standing Monthly Cadence Established

Your DCM sets a recurring monthly call covering your compliance scorecard, upcoming deadlines, and any issues requiring decisions. Between calls, they manage proactively and reach out as needed — you don't have to chase them.

5

Continuous Oversight & Emergency Access

From month one forward, your DCM is your compliance partner — monitoring, managing, and available by direct phone and email. You always know who to call and exactly what your compliance status is.

What's Included in CSA Score Management

“I used to spend two days every quarter just trying to figure out where we stood on compliance. Now I call Sarah, she tells me exactly what’s expiring, what’s been filed, and what needs my attention. That’s it. Audit came six months after we signed on — zero findings across DQ, drug program, and CSA. I couldn’t have gotten there alone.”
— Owner-operator, 19-truck tanker fleet, Louisiana
