TransSafe Consulting

What TransSafe Consulting does

TransSafe Consulting, LLC is a privately held, woman-owned small professional services firm headquartered in the United States (Davenport) that provides transportation, safety, and security consulting to public and private organizations. The firm is led by Principal Annette Michelle Sandberg and operates with 11-50 employees, delivering two integrated service lines — Transportation Consulting and Safety Consulting — that cover FMCSA Compliance Safety Accountability (CSA) program support, carrier selection, DOT compliance review, risk management, litigation support and expert witness services, and petition or rulemaking comment assistance.

The firm's value proposition is anchored entirely in the principal's prior federal career: Sandberg served as the 2nd Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under President George W. Bush, as Deputy Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and as the first woman to lead a state police agency as Chief of the Washington State Patrol. There is no proprietary technology platform, no productized software, and no AI component; the offering is pure advisory and expert services delivered directly by the firm to enterprise and government clients.

TransSafe monetizes through project-based and retainer consulting engagements with trucking companies, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), shippers, transportation associations, IT and safety companies, federal contractors, and federal/state/local government entities. Go-to-market is direct, principal-led enterprise field sales, with business development driven by the founder's regulatory reputation and government relationships rather than digital marketing or channel partnerships. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and there is no outside funding, no parent company, and no disclosed financial metrics.

Emerging players

• PrePass: Provider of weigh-station bypass, safety scoring, and compliance technology services for commercial trucking fleets. Adjacent to TransSafe's regulatory advisory by serving the same trucking customer base with technology-driven compliance solutions.
• VelocityEHS: Provider of environmental, health, safety, and compliance software with transportation safety modules. Adjacent technology competitor offering compliance management tools that could complement or substitute for traditional consulting services like TransSafe's.

Broad incumbents

• DISA Global Solutions: Provider of workplace and transportation compliance services including background screening, drug and alcohol testing, and DOT compliance program management. Larger and more diversified than TransSafe, addressing similar regulatory compliance needs but with a broader workforce compliance portfolio.
• National Safety Council: Established nonprofit safety organization offering consulting, training, and resources across multiple industries including transportation. Overlaps with TransSafe's public safety consulting and represents a broader, more diversified safety services portfolio with national reach.
• J.J. Keller & Associates: Established provider of regulatory compliance products, training, and consulting services for the transportation industry with a deep catalog spanning FMCSA, DOT, and OSHA. Far larger and more diversified than TransSafe, but the closest established incumbent serving overlapping trucking and DOT compliance customers.

Others

• Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance: Non-profit alliance of federal, state, and provincial agencies focused on commercial motor vehicle safety enforcement and policy. An ecosystem participant that shapes the regulatory environment TransSafe operates in and provides complementary standards and advocacy.
• American Trucking Associations: Largest national trade association for the trucking industry, providing advocacy, education, and member services. An ecosystem participant and potential referral source for TransSafe's transportation consulting services to its member carriers.

Direct peers

• Scopelitis, Garvin, Light, Hanson & Feary: Leading transportation-focused law firm providing regulatory, corporate, and litigation counsel to motor carriers, 3PLs, and logistics companies. Directly comparable to TransSafe's regulatory/litigation advisory practice, particularly on FMCSA matters, though delivered via legal services rather than pure consulting.
