For owner-operators & small fleets

One bad inspection can put your authority on a 60-day clock.

If you've ever opened an FMCSA letter and felt your stomach drop — you're not paranoid. You're doing the math right.

Deadline Safe watches FMCSA every 15 minutes and tells you the moment a new inspection, OOS, or BASIC change lands — in plain English, on your phone, before it hits your insurance.

✓ No credit card   ✓ One-click cancel   ✓ Just your USDOT — no FMCSA login

What's actually at stake

$16,000
per HOS violation
Max federal fine — one ELD slip-up
60 days
from Unsatisfactory to shutdown
45 if you haul hazmat or passengers
20-40%
insurance premium spike
Per at-fault accident on file

Deadline Safe doesn't prevent any of these on its own. We make sure you see them coming — early enough to do something about it.

Here's what we actually do

We watch the FMCSA feed so you don't have to refresh SAFER at 3 a.m.

Every 15 minutes we re-pull your DOT's public record from FMCSA. New inspection? You get an email. CSA BASIC creeping toward threshold? You get a heads-up. MCS-150 due? You get reminded at 90/60/30/7 days. AI explains every violation — what it is, what it costs, and what to do about it. That's it. No login. No paperwork from us. No surprise bill.

What's in every plan

Insider FMCSA vocabulary, plain-English alerts. We track the things you'd be tracking yourself if you had time.

📡

24/7 FMCSA monitoring

We check FMCSA every 15 minutes. You hear about a new inspection within minutes of it landing in FMCSA systems — often before the officer has even driven away.

Frequently asked

Do I need an FMCSA PIN or login credentials?

No. We use the public FMCSA QCMobile API. Just your USDOT number — no passwords, no PINs. This is data that's already publicly available through SAFER.

What if I have multiple DOT numbers?

Easy. Basic covers 1 USDOT, Pro up to 3, Premium up to 10, Enterprise up to 50. Each DOT is monitored independently with its own stats, alerts, and reports. Need more than 50? Contact sales for a custom plan.

What is a CSA score and why does it matter?

CSA = Compliance, Safety, Accountability. FMCSA recalculates your percentile across 7 BASIC categories monthly. If you cross an intervention threshold, your odds of a DOT audit and insurance premium hike go up. We alert you before that happens.

What if I get an unfair violation?

We help you file a DataQ challenge — FMCSA's formal dispute process. Claude Opus 4.7 drafts the response based on FMCSA rules and your context. Service costs $299 with 60-70% success rate.

Do you share my business data?

No. All data is stored in Supabase (SOC 2 Type 2), owned by you, never shared with third parties. You can export or permanently delete everything at any time.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, one click in your account settings. No phone calls, no cancellation fees, no hidden terms. You only pay for the time you used.

What if I need help with compliance, not just monitoring?

We partner with TruckerNavi for hands-on compliance services: Authority Bundle ($799), Safety Compliance subscription (from $189/mo), Mock Audits ($399). Book any service directly from your client portal.

Is this a US-only service?

Yes, currently US-only. We monitor FMCSA (US DOT) data. Canadian carriers coming in Q3.
