What Scopelitis Transportation Consulting does

Scopelitis Transportation Consulting (STC) is a private, for-profit LLC operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the transportation-focused law firm Scopelitis, Garvin, Light, Hanson & Feary. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, the firm provides safety, regulatory compliance, and training services to the U.S. motor carrier industry, with its core specialization in FMCSA regulations, CSA score management, DOT audits, hours-of-service and ELD compliance, hazardous materials, and DataQs challenges. Its offerings span live virtual and onsite training (most prominently the DOT 101 six-module series and a 36-hour HazMat certification program), project- and hourly-based consulting including mock audits, gap analyses, and policy development, plus retainer engagements; recurring thought-leadership products include the Monthly Roundup Report, the 60 Seconds with STC newsletter, and the TrueNorth Truck Thought podcast.

STC does not develop proprietary technology products; its value rests on the regulatory expertise of a small (1–10 employee) senior team and its Associates, drawing on careers as former FMCSA investigators, state enforcement officials, ATA policy executives, and CVSA leadership. The company sells primarily through direct engagement, industry referrals, conference presence, and content marketing to motor carriers of various sizes, trucking technology vendors, transportation trade associations, new entrant carriers, and legal/insurance firms serving the trucking sector. Revenue mechanics rely on non-public project, hourly, and monthly retainer pricing, with the Monthly Roundup Report offered free to retainer clients and on a paid subscription basis otherwise.

Direct peers

• Tenstreet: Transportation-industry software and services focused on driver qualification files, drug & alcohol clearinghouse workflows, and carrier compliance. Comparable to STC's CDL Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse and driver-qualification training offerings.
• J.J. Keller & Associates: The dominant U.S. provider of DOT/FMCSA regulatory compliance products, training, and consulting for motor carriers. Directly comparable to STC across CSA consulting, ELD/HazMat training, and DOT audit support, with a much larger product and content catalog.
• Samba Safety: Provides driver risk management, MVR monitoring, and compliance services to fleets and motor carriers. Overlaps with STC on DOT compliance, driver qualification, and ongoing safety program support, with a more SaaS-oriented delivery model.

Emerging players

• Fleetio: Cloud-based fleet maintenance, inspection, and compliance software for mid-market fleets. Competes for the same mid-market motor carrier wallet as STC's DOT compliance and vehicle inspection training, though via software rather than advisory services.

Broad incumbents

• Motive: Fleet management platform (ELD, dash cams, compliance workflows) serving tens of thousands of motor carriers. Not a direct consulting peer, but increasingly bundles compliance guidance that competes with STC's training and CSA consulting services.
• Geotab: Global fleet telematics and compliance platform with deep ELD and HOS rule coverage. Adjacent competitor on regulatory compliance enablement for motor carriers, with broader enterprise reach than STC.

Regional players

• PrePass / Drivewyze: Commercial vehicle compliance and weigh-station bypass infrastructure operator for North American motor carriers. Comparable in addressing FMCSA-adjacent compliance workflows, but infrastructure- rather than consulting-led.
