Running a trucking or fleet operation means operating under layers of federal and state regulations that touch every part of your business — from driver qualifications and hours of service to vehicle inspections, insurance, and tax filings. Falling out of compliance can result in fines, out-of-service orders, and lost revenue. Gary Seven Inc. provides dedicated compliance consulting for trucking companies, fleet operators, and logistics businesses that need dependable support to stay on the right side of the regulations.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Compliance in the trucking industry isn’t a one-time task — it’s an ongoing operational requirement. New regulations are introduced regularly, audit criteria shift, and enforcement priorities change depending on the state and the agency involved. We stay on top of those changes so you don’t have to. Our team works directly with fleet owners and operators to build compliance systems that are practical, sustainable, and tailored to the size and scope of your operation.
Whether you’re running a single truck or coordinating a multi-state fleet, we provide the same level of attention and thoroughness. We review your current compliance posture, identify risks, and put corrective measures in place before small issues become costly problems. And when audit time comes, you’ll be prepared — not scrambling.
Our trucking and fleet compliance services include USDOT number registration and updates, motor carrier (MC) authority applications, IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) registration and quarterly filings, IRP (International Registration Plan) registration and renewals, BOC-3 process agent designation, UCR (Unified Carrier Registration) filings, drug and alcohol testing program setup and compliance, driver qualification file creation and management, hours-of-service recordkeeping and ELD compliance, vehicle maintenance plans and inspection documentation, FMCSA safety audit preparation, California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliance for fleets operating in California, and MCS-150 biennial updates. We handle the details so your drivers stay on the road and your business stays in good standing.
It depends on what you're hauling and how your operation is structured. Intrastate carriers may not need MC authority but still require a USDOT number and must comply with state-level regulations. We review your specific operation and make sure you have exactly the registrations and authority you need — nothing more, nothing less.
The FMCSA conducts compliance reviews and safety audits to ensure motor carriers meet federal safety regulations. Preparation involves making sure your driver qualification files, vehicle maintenance records, hours-of-service logs, drug testing records, and insurance documentation are complete and current. We help you organize everything before an audit so there are no surprises.
Yes. Many of our fleet clients rely on us for quarterly IFTA filings and annual IRP renewals as part of an ongoing compliance relationship. We track deadlines, prepare the filings, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
An incomplete driver qualification file is one of the most common violations found during audits and roadside inspections. It can result in fines, out-of-service orders for the driver, and negative marks on your carrier safety record. We set up compliant DQ files from the start and help you maintain them over time so every file is audit-ready.
