Professional Safety Consulting

What Professional Safety Consulting does

Professional Safety Consulting, Inc. is a privately held US transportation risk management and loss control firm founded in 1987 and headquartered in Ranson, West Virginia. The company serves two primary customer segments: (1) transportation operators — including trucking fleets, private carriers, charter and school buses, paratransit, limousines, taxis, ambulances, refuse haulers, and auto/truck dealerships — and (2) insurance channel partners, specifically carriers, MGAs, program managers, and agents that underwrite commercial auto and related liability coverage. Core deliverables are on-site and phone risk evaluations, regulatory compliance consulting, and safety program development across coverage lines including auto liability, physical damage, general liability, workers compensation, and cargo.

The company's productized offering is the Insider's Circle membership platform, structured as three subscription tiers: Platinum at $197/month (full access), Gold at $97/month (core video and training resources), and Silver at $27/month (downloadable forms and weekly newsletter). Memberships bundle a content library that includes the Friday Safety Brief weekly regulatory newsletter (published 25+ years), the Transportation Safety and Compliance Manual (sold separately as a hard copy and offered white-label), The Communiqué driver newsletters, Truck Essentials and PAX Essentials vertical-specific resource packs, a downloadable PDF/Word/Excel forms library covering driver qualification and hours-of-service documentation, and an HD video training library. The underlying technology is a conventional web portal with an online service-request system and a separate underwriter login portal (srs.professionalsafetyconsulting.com) for insurance carrier partners. A national consultant network with over 600 years of combined loss control experience delivers the on-site evaluation work.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring membership subscriptions, professional-services fees for loss control evaluations, and one-time/manual sales (including white-label licensing). GTM is sales-led, leveraging direct outreach via a toll-free hotline and website, content marketing through the newsletter and resource library, and referral relationships with insurance carriers and MGAs. In 2019 the company expanded beyond pure transportation into general loss control nationally and launched a redesigned website alongside vertical sub-brands. The founder, John Schrunk, remains listed as Founder & President. The company is independently owned with no disclosed outside capital, no acquisitions, and no public revenue disclosure.

Emerging players

• Motive (formerly KeepTruckin): Fleet management platform bundling ELD, vehicle telematics, video-based safety, and compliance workflows for commercial transportation. Adjacent competitor to PSC on the technology-driven side of fleet safety and compliance.
• Samsara: Connected operations platform with strong fleet safety and compliance modules (dashcams, ELD, vehicle telematics). Comparable to PSC as a provider of transportation safety and compliance tooling, but positioned as a technology platform rather than consulting/content provider.
• Lytx: AI-powered video telematics and fleet safety platform focused on driver behavior monitoring and risk detection. Represents the technology-driven alternative to PSC's manual risk evaluation model and could over time substitute for parts of PSC's loss-control workflow.
• Netradyne: AI dashcam and driver scoring platform for commercial fleets, competing for the same fleet safety and risk-evaluation budget that PSC serves through its loss control services.

Others

• Geotab: Fleet telematics and data platform providing vehicle tracking, driver behavior analytics, and risk-related insights used by fleets and insurance carriers. Comparable ecosystem participant enabling data-driven loss control that may complement or substitute PSC's manual evaluations.
• Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS): Nonprofit coalition providing fleet and employee driver safety resources, training, and benchmarks. Comparable to PSC's content and advisory mission but operated as a member-supported nonprofit rather than a commercial consulting firm.
• Great West Casualty Company: Specialty commercial auto insurer serving trucking and fleet customers. Represents the type of insurance carrier that purchases loss-control services from PSC; comparable as a customer-side counterpart rather than a direct service competitor.

Broad incumbents

• National Safety Council: Long-established nonprofit safety organization producing driver and workplace safety training, certifications, and publications. Comparable to PSC as a broad authority on transportation safety content but operates across many industries beyond fleet/commercial auto.

Direct peers

• KPA: Provides safety compliance, training, and risk management software and services for fleet-based industries. Closely comparable to PSC's combination of subscription content, training libraries, and consulting services for transportation and adjacent verticals.
• J.J. Keller & Associates: Largest and most established provider of regulatory compliance, safety, and operational products for transportation fleets in North America. Overlaps directly with PSC on DOT/FMCSA compliance manuals, driver qualification resources, hours-of-service guidance, and loss-control advisory, but operates at significantly larger scale.
