California DOT Compliance, handled.
The outsourced safety department for California carriers. We run FMCSA and California Department of Transportation compliance so you can drive.
Compliance for California carriers
Every California interstate carrier answers to the FMCSA — CSA Safety Measurement System scores, the New Entrant Safety Audit in your first year, and the FMCSA Clearinghouse — alongside the California Department of Transportation for registration, IRP, and IFTA. Roadside enforcement runs through California commercial vehicle enforcement (state police / DPS).
The Ports of LA and Long Beach plus CARB rules make California the most demanding US fleet environment. FleetSafety keeps every document, deadline, and score current — and a real safety officer answers when an audit notice or accident lands.

California compliance questions
Questions
Who regulates trucking safety in California?
California interstate carriers answer to the FMCSA federally — CSA scores, the New Entrant Safety Audit, and the Clearinghouse — plus the California Department of Transportation for registration, IRP, and IFTA, with roadside enforcement by California commercial vehicle enforcement (state police / DPS).
Does FleetSafety handle compliance in California?
Yes. FleetSafety manages FMCSA compliance for California carriers — DQ files, Clearinghouse, CSA monitoring, the drug program, and audit defense — at $50/truck/mo managed or $20/truck/mo self-serve software.
Do you handle California cross-border freight?
Yes. California carriers running across the Mexican border are managed under both rulebooks on one file — FMCSA in the US and NSC/CVOR in Canada — so nothing falls through the gap.
