Your trucking compliance department. Without hiring one.
TenFour provides trucking compliance services for owner-operators and small fleets running 1 to 6 trucks. We run your DOT compliance the way a compliance department would: driver qualification files, the drug and alcohol program, Clearinghouse queries, UCR, MCS-150, BOC-3 and IFTA, each tracked and prepared, with a person reviewing anything official. One membership, priced per truck, from $99/month, up to two drivers per truck included.
$99/month is the annual plan for one truck, billed $1,188 up front, about two months free against $119 month to month. Each additional truck is $59/month ($69 month to month), up to two drivers per truck included, up to six trucks. Cancel any month; remaining full months refunded.

Free, no sales call
Send your USDOT number. You get a plain-English read of your public FMCSA record today, by email, and one price if you want it handled.
Published pricing
Every price and every third-party fee is on this site. No quote call, no invoice you did not expect.
Built for 1 to 6 trucks, up to two drivers per truck included
One membership priced per truck, up to 2 drivers on each. Fleets of 7 or more get custom pricing, contact us.
Automation plus human review
Software watches the calendar and prepares the work; a person checks it before anything goes somewhere official.
Deadline monitoring, every day
Every date that applies to your operation checked daily, with alerts at 60, 30 and 7 days. Medical cards, annual inspections, MVR reviews, Clearinghouse queries, UCR, MCS-150, IFTA.
Driver qualification files
Built correctly for every driver, kept current, organized so an auditor can read them without you translating. Up to two drivers per truck.
Drug & alcohol program, set up and run for you
We tell you exactly which consortium to join and how, complete the enrollment for you, walk you through naming it as your C/TPA in your own Clearinghouse account, prepare the written policy, handle every random selection and keep the records an auditor asks for. You pay the consortium's own membership fee ($99 a year for the whole account, however many drivers, with the consortium we refer you to) and each test directly to the provider, at their price, never marked up.
Clearinghouse registration, consents and query calendar
Registration walked through in your own account, driver consents, and the pre-employment and annual queries the rules require kept on schedule: you run each query in your own account, we keep the calendar and the records that prove it happened. You buy queries ($1.25 each) directly from FMCSA.
Medical card, inspection and MVR tracking
Every driver's certificate, every truck's annual inspection and every annual MVR review tracked on its own cycle, with reminders that arrive in time to act.
UCR prepared every year
Right bracket, right year, prepared for you to submit at ucr.gov. You pay the government fee there directly; we keep the receipt.
Every MCS-150, prepared
The biennial update, changes, and reactivation after a missed update, prepared for you to submit in your own Motus account and verified in SAFER. Never a per-filing fee. Reapplying after a revoked new entrant registration is the reinstatement add-on.
BOC-3 designation at onboarding
An approved blanket process agent covering every state, set up in your name, the filing confirmed. You pay the agent's own fee directly to the agent.
IFTA quarterly returns on the annual plan
Prepared from your ELD mileage and fuel data, reconciled, reviewed by a person, ready for you to file on time. Month-to-month members add it for $49 a return.
Owner-operators under their own authority
You are the carrier and the driver, so every file and filing is yours twice over. DOT compliance for owner-operators.
New authorities in the 18-month new entrant window
The safety audit is coming, usually inside the first year. Compliance setup for a new trucking authority, and the new entrant safety audit checklist of what an auditor asks for.
Fleets of 2 to 6 trucks
Drivers multiply the dates: files, queries and random selections for each one. Compliance for small trucking companies.

TenFour is not a dashboard you have to remember to open. It is a department that remembers for you.
The add-on menu
A separate fee for every task: the file, the filing, the query, the return.
Multiple vendors
One company for the consortium, another for the filings, a third for the software.
Multiple renewal dates
Nothing lines up, so something is always about to lapse.
A per-driver meter
Your bill goes up every time you hire, whether or not the work changed.
Quote-only pricing
You cannot compare what nobody will publish.
Twelve-month contracts
Signed before you know whether the service is any good.
TenFour’s answer is to consolidate it. The filings, the files, the consortium paperwork and the calendar, handled together and billed once.

Software collects
Your USDOT number pulls what the public record already knows. You send the rest by text, photos are fine. Documents are read, classified and filed automatically.
Systems monitor
Every deadline that applies to your operation is on a calendar that runs itself: daily checks, alerts at 60, 30 and 7 days, filings queued when they come due.
AI prepares
Filings are pre-filled from your profile. IFTA is computed from your ELD and fuel exports. Routine questions get a drafted answer from your own account and the help hub.
A person reviews
Every filing, every driver file sign-off, every answer that could be read as advice. Sam reviews the output, never the data entry.
You approve and submit
Where a signature, a decision or a government login is yours, you review it on your phone, submit it yourself and pay any fee directly. We confirm it landed and archive it in your vault.
We automate the repetitive work so human time goes where it actually matters.
A traditional compliance company bills for the hours a person spends re-keying dates and chasing documents. TenFour builds the system that does that part, keeps a person on the judgment calls, and prices the difference into the membership.
Of the 14 providers that publish a price, 11 cost more than TenFour once you add what their price leaves out, and 3 land about the same.
TenFour comes to $1,287 a year for one truck with up to two drivers per truck included, counting the $99 a year consortium fee you pay directly, one company to deal with, and one thing no other row can offer: former over-the-road driver and law enforcement professional specializing in traffic enforcement, combining firsthand trucking experience with real-world insight into roadside enforcement and regulatory compliance.

Prices read from each provider's own published pricing on September 7, 2026, for a one-truck, one-driver carrier over twelve months, setup included. “Still needed elsewhere” is priced from the market-rate table: the median of what the providers in this table charge for that item, or, for tracking, vehicle records, audit-ready files and monitoring, a quarter of a $199 software tier, rounded down to $49. Government fees, drug tests and physicals are excluded everywhere, because every provider passes them through. A person to answer your questions is not priced at all, no provider in the table sells one below $199 a month. TenFour is a private compliance-support service, not a government agency and not a law firm; nothing about the founder's background changes how anyone is treated at a roadside stop. See all 16 providers, the method and every source →
Every row also shows what the advertised price leaves out and how many companies you would be dealing with. Narrower products exist (a consortium on its own, a document app), and they cost less because they do less; price one against the whole job and you are back in this table.

Built for small carriers
Designed for 1 to 6 trucks, not enterprise fleet software with the features removed.
Automation where it makes sense
Daily deadline checks, document sorting, pre-filled filings. The work no person should do by hand.
Human review where it matters
Nothing official leaves without a person reading it first. Judgment is not automated here.
Transparent pricing
One published price per truck. You pay government fees and test fees directly, so they never land on our invoice.
One place
One company. One monthly payment. One place for your compliance. The driver files, the consortium paperwork, the Clearinghouse, the filings and the calendar, handled together instead of spread across three or four vendors.
Designed around real trucking
Answer by text. Send a photo of the document. We assume you are driving when we need something.
Audit-minded from day one
Files built the way an auditor reads them, so an audit is a document request instead of a scramble.
Built on both sides of the roadside
Sam Bhullar drove a truck and ran the same paperwork every carrier on this page is running now. Former over-the-road driver and law enforcement professional specializing in traffic enforcement, combining firsthand trucking experience with real-world insight into roadside enforcement and regulatory compliance. TenFour is built from both views: the calendar that runs a one-truck company, and the moment someone asks to see the file.
TenFour is a private compliance-support service, not a government agency and not a law firm. Nothing about the founder’s background changes how anyone is treated at a roadside stop. It changes how well you are prepared for one.

Primary sources, cited
Every guide names the regulation or the FMCSA page it comes from, so you can check the answer instead of taking our word for it.
The free tools and the help guides have no email wall. Use them, check our sources, and decide from there. If you are based here, DOT compliance in Texas sets out every filing this state expects and which agency wants it.
For one truck and one driver, the 14 compliance companies that publish a price come to $1,244 to $7,364 for a comparable year, once you add what each price leaves out (read from their own pricing pages on September 7, 2026). TenFour is $99 a month for the first truck on the annual plan and $59 for each additional truck. Government fees, drug tests and physicals are extra with every provider.
It runs the recurring paperwork the federal rules put on a motor carrier: a qualification file on every driver, the drug and alcohol program and its Clearinghouse queries, medical card and inspection dates, and the UCR, MCS-150, BOC-3 and IFTA filings, prepared on time and kept where an auditor can read them. You still sign, submit where the agency requires it and pay government fees yourself.
Check three things before you pay anyone. The price should be published, not revealed after a sales call. The company should never claim to be, or to speak for, FMCSA or the DOT; no private service is affiliated with either. And every filing it makes for you should be verifiable in your own record, in SAFER or your Motus account. A letter demanding payment for a free filing, such as the MCS-150, is a red flag.
Yes, and some of it you should. The MCS-150 costs nothing to file and our guides show you how, step by step. The real question is whether re-checking every date, chasing every document and keeping every file audit-ready is worth more to you than $99 a month.
Software shows you a list of what is wrong. It does not build the driver file, keep the query on schedule, prepare the return, or catch the problem you did not know to look for. TenFour uses software for the repetitive part and puts a person on the part where judgment decides the outcome.
Most providers publish a low headline and then meter you: per driver, per filing, per query, per quarter. TenFour is one membership priced per truck: $99 a month for the first truck on the annual plan, $59 for each additional truck, up to two drivers per truck included up to 2 per truck. Government fees are published, and you pay them directly, never through us.
Not always on the advertised number, and that is the wrong comparison. A lower monthly price usually buys a narrower scope, the consortium without the driver files, the software without the filings. Add what you would still buy elsewhere and compare that total; it is the number that matters. Our comparison page shows it provider by provider, with sources.
New Entrant Audit preparation is included in member onboarding ($549 standalone): the files an auditor asks for, built and checked, and the automatic-fail items fixed first. Audit-week support beyond that is quoted at the member rate of $95 an hour. We prepare you properly: nobody can honestly guarantee how an audit turns out.
No, and no honest provider includes them. You pay each one directly to the agency or provider, so nothing is marked up, and every one is published: the UCR fee is $55 for zero to two vehicles in 2027, a Clearinghouse query is $1.25, and a blanket process agent charges its own one-time fee. The MCS-150 itself costs nothing to file, and we say so.
No. TenFour provides administrative compliance support: organizing records, monitoring deadlines, preparing filings for your approval and answering routine questions. When a question needs a lawyer, we say so plainly instead of guessing.
There is no term commitment on either plan. The annual plan is twelve months paid up front because that is what makes it about two months cheaper; month to month carries a one-time $199 onboarding, credited in full if you move to annual within 60 days. Cancel any month, on annual, the remaining full months are refunded at one-twelfth each. Membership auto-renews, and we email you 30 days before it does.
Adding a truck adds $59 a month on the annual plan, with up to 2 drivers per truck included. The membership covers 1 to 6 trucks, and you can add a truck from your plan at any time. Fleets of 7 or more get custom pricing: contact us and we will talk through your operation.
