The automotive and trucking industries operate under some of the most complex and fast-changing regulatory environments in the country. Whether you’re running a fleet of commercial vehicles, managing a dealership, or launching a logistics operation, staying compliant isn’t optional — it’s the foundation your business runs on. Gary Seven Inc. provides hands-on compliance consulting for automotive businesses, trucking operators, and fleet and logistics companies operating in California and Florida.
We work directly with business owners and operators to assess their current compliance posture, identify gaps, and put practical solutions in place. Our approach isn’t about handing you a checklist and walking away. We take the time to understand how your operation actually works — your routes, your fleet size, your vendor relationships, your licensing structure — and then build a compliance plan that fits the way you do business.
From USDOT and MC authority registration to California-specific emissions and safety regulations, our team stays current on the requirements that affect your bottom line. We help you avoid the costly fines, shutdowns, and delays that come from falling out of compliance, and we do it without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
Our automotive and trucking compliance services span the full lifecycle of your operation. We assist with USDOT number registration and MC authority applications, IFTA and IRP filings, BOC-3 process agent designations, drug and alcohol testing program compliance, driver qualification file management, vehicle maintenance and inspection recordkeeping, hours-of-service documentation, California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliance, and state-specific permitting for oversize and overweight loads. Whether you’re a single-truck owner-operator or managing a multi-state fleet, we scale our services to match the complexity of your operation.
We work with owner-operators, small and mid-sized fleets, freight brokers, logistics companies, and automotive dealerships. Whether you operate locally within California or across state lines, we tailor our compliance support to match the scope and scale of your business.
Yes. We assist with the full startup compliance process, including entity formation, USDOT registration, MC authority, BOC-3 filing, insurance requirements, and setting up compliant driver qualification files. We make sure you launch with everything in order from day one.
We conduct a compliance assessment to identify exactly where the gaps are, then work with you to resolve outstanding issues and get your operation back on track. The sooner you address compliance problems, the less exposure you carry.
Absolutely. California has some of the strictest emissions and vehicle standards in the country. We help trucking and automotive businesses navigate CARB requirements, registration obligations, and any state-level permitting that applies to your fleet or dealership operations.
