Your fleet, audit-ready every month.
Pretrip Safety runs the day-to-day DOT compliance work for trucking companies with 20 to 500 trucks. We keep your driver files current, review your logs, manage your testing program, and track the same safety data FMCSA uses, so problems get fixed before an investigator finds them.
● Serving interstate carriers nationwide. Independent and privately owned.
Safety measures vs. thresholds

Why it matters
Most audits start with data FMCSA already has.
Every roadside inspection goes into FMCSA's Safety Measurement System. When a fleet's numbers cross the intervention thresholds, it becomes more likely to get a warning letter, more roadside inspections, or an investigation. Insurers look at the same data at renewal.

What we do
We take the compliance work off your desk.
Most fleets know what the regulations require. The hard part is keeping up with it every week while you run trucks. That is the part we do for you.
Driver qualification files
We build and maintain a complete file for every driver and track every expiration date, so nothing lapses between audits.
Learn moreHours-of-service log review
We review your drivers' ELD logs on a regular schedule, flag violations and logging errors, and give you notes you can go over with each driver.
Learn moreDrug and alcohol program
We manage your testing program through a partner consortium, including random selections, Clearinghouse queries and the records an auditor asks for.
Learn moreCSA score monitoring
We track the same safety data FMCSA uses, show you which inspections are driving your scores, and challenge violations that look wrong.
Learn moreAudit preparation
We get your files in order before a compliance review or safety audit, walk you through a practice audit, and help you get ready for the day the investigator arrives.
Learn moreOne clear monthly report.
Each month you get a short report: where your scores stand, what changed, what we fixed, and what needs your attention next. Every item points to the regulation behind it, so you know it's required and not just our opinion.

How it works
We catch problems before an audit does.
Your safety record is built one inspection at a time. We watch it the whole way, not just when an investigator calls.
We start with a review.
We pull your public inspection history, look at your driver files and a sample of your logs, and give you a ranked list of what to fix first.
We take over the recurring work.
We keep driver files current, review logs and run your testing program. You have one point of contact for all of it.
We track your data every month.
When a number starts to move, we tell you why and what to do about it, well before it turns into a letter from FMCSA.
Who it's for
Fleets with 20 to 500 trucks.
We work with motor carriers that don't have a full-time safety department, or whose safety manager has more work than one person can handle. We can act as your safety department, or we can take the paperwork off the plate of the safety person you already have.
- For-hire and private fleets running interstate.
- Growing companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and a filing cabinet.
- Owners who would rather spend their time running trucks than chasing paperwork.
Signs it's time to get help
- Your driver out-of-service rate is above the national average.
- You got a warning letter or a notice of investigation.
- Your insurer asked about your CSA scores at renewal.
- You aren't sure every driver's medical card and annual review are current.
- Your safety manager is also your dispatcher, your recruiter, or you.
How we work
Software does the tracking. People make the calls. Every finding comes with the rule behind it and a plain-English next step.
We look every month
FMCSA updates its safety data monthly. So do we. You never have to wait for an audit to find out where you stand.
Every finding cites the rule
Each item on your fix list points to the regulation behind it, so you know it's required and not just our opinion.
Plain English
You get short, clear reports and a ranked to-do list, not a binder of jargon.
Your files stay yours
Your records are kept organized and ready to hand to an investigator, and you can get a full copy whenever you want.
