What dotcomply.us does

DOT Compliance Services (dotcomply.us / dotcomply.co) is a privately held regulatory compliance provider for US motor carriers, operating since 2013 out of Broward County, Florida. The company was founded by Michael Tabman, a retired FBI Special Agent in Charge, and is positioned as an extension of SPIRIT Asset Protection, LLC. Its core function is to translate federal DOT/FMCSA regulatory requirements into completion-ready filings and ongoing compliance programs for trucking operators, with services spanning federal and multi-state permits, BOC-3 process agent designation, UCR registration, IFTA filings, drug and alcohol testing consortium enrollment, and ELD compliance.

The product surface combines a self-serve e-commerce platform with phone-based regulatory consultation, enabling carriers to complete filings without a traditional consulting engagement. The company sells one-time filings priced from $25 to over $489, operates a drug testing consortium at $149–$259 per driver annually, and distributes the proprietary PT30 ELD device at $249 with a $29/month subscription. The PT30 launch is the most significant product extension to date, layering recurring hardware-and-software revenue onto the historically transactional filings business.

The customer base ranges from single-truck owner-operators to large transportation companies, described as "hundreds of clients." The go-to-market relies heavily on SEO-driven organic acquisition through high-intent DOT/FMCSA search terms, supported by a Google Analytics deployment for traffic measurement. The company holds registered trademarks for "DOTComply," "DOT-Comply," and "DCS," and has no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or enterprise customer anchors. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• J.J. Keller & Associates: The largest dedicated DOT/FMCSA compliance, safety, and regulatory services provider in the US. Comparable because they sell the same filings, drug testing consortiums, ELD products, and reference materials that DOT Compliance Services offers, but at much greater scale and with deeper product breadth.
• Samsara: Large IoT/fleet management platform with FMCSA-certified ELDs, HOS, IFTA, DVIR, and compliance reporting built into its offering. A scaled incumbent pressuring DOT Compliance Services' ELD + compliance bundle from above.
• Geotab: Major fleet telematics and ELD provider with FMCSA-certified devices, HOS, IFTA reporting, and regulatory compliance dashboards. Competes on the connected-vehicle/ELD side of DOT Compliance Services' offering.

Direct peers

• Foley Carrier Services: Direct competitor offering USDOT/MC registration, BOC-3, UCR, state permits, IFTA/IRP, and drug testing consortium enrollment. Closely mirrors DOT Compliance Services' product catalog and SMB/motor-carrier customer profile.
• Compliance Fleet Services: Specialist in DOT compliance filings, drug & alcohol testing programs, and driver qualification file management for motor carriers. Same SMB carrier target customer and overlapping service-by-service offering.
• National Carrier Safety Council (MotorCarrierHQ): Direct competitor providing USDOT/MC authority filings, BOC-3, UCR, drug testing consortiums, ELDs, and state permits. Mirrors DOT Compliance Services' end-to-end SMB carrier compliance proposition.
• Transcentive: DOT compliance, IRP/IFTA, drug testing, and permits service provider targeting motor carriers. Overlapping product set and customer base make it a directly comparable SMB-focused peer.

Emerging players

• Motive (formerly KeepTruckin): AI-powered fleet operations platform offering FMCSA-certified ELD, HOS monitoring, IFTA reporting, and an expanding compliance suite. Competes directly on the PT30 ELD product line and increasingly on bundled compliance services.
• Fleetio: Modern fleet maintenance, fuel, and operations management platform. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but increasingly overlaps on compliance documentation and recordkeeping for motor carriers.

Others

• DAT Freight & Analytics: Largest North American freight marketplace and load board. Not a direct compliance competitor but reaches the same motor-carrier buyer and increasingly bundles adjacent services, making it thematically adjacent to DOT Compliance Services.
