Is Your Trucking Company At Risk?

Received warning letters from the FMCSA?
Upcoming FMCSA audit?
Recent at-fault accidents or fatalities?
Drivers or vehicles placed out of service?
Victim of unfair inspections or errors?
Unqualified drivers behind the wheel?
Struggling to find knowledgeable DOT compliance personnel?
Want to retain good workers who need compliance training?
Has your safety rating been downgraded?

If you answered yes to any of these, it’s time to act. Lone Star DOT was founded because we know first-hand the shortage of qualified compliance professionals in the industry. Running non-compliant puts your business, assets, and reputation at serious risk.

That’s why we created our Retainer Program, a comprehensive compliance management solution designed to keep you ahead of audits, violations, and lawsuits.
