Built for brand-new owner-operators

DOT compliance, in plain English.

You got your authority to drive a truck — not to decode government paperwork. We're a small shop that keeps track of your deadlines, keeps your Safety Audit folder ready, and explains every confusing piece of it in words that actually make sense. So you can do the part you signed up for.

Free, no sign-up, no pressure calls, no spam. Anything the government does for free, we tell you it's free. When you're ready: one plain price — $29/mo →

“Your medical card expires in about 2 months — I’ll remind you before it matters. Want the renewal steps?”

Yes — walk me through it

That's the dashboard — audit clock, your money, your dates, and an assistant that speaks trucker. Walk through the whole thing →

What EntrantReady handles

One membership, six jobs off your plate. Every card below is a real screen in the product — pick any door and walk in.

How EntrantReady works

The audit is mandatory and it's dated. The trap isn't failing it — it's getting blindsided by something you didn't know was coming. We make sure you never are.

1

We map your dates

The day you get your authority, the clock starts. We lay out every deadline that actually applies to you — your Safety Audit window, your filings, your renewals — on one calendar, in plain English.

2

We get you ready

We build your audit folder and keep it current, and we set up your drug & alcohol testing through a licensed partner. The stuff the audit looks for is in place long before anyone asks for it.

3

You just drive

When something is due, we tell you early and in words that make sense — no jargon, no scramble. You always know exactly where you stand and what (if anything) needs you.

A look inside

It's not just a folder for paperwork. It's your dates, your audit folder, your money, your drivers — and a scanner and assistant doing the filing for you.

Deadline calendar

Every date that applies to you — and what it means

Your Safety Audit window, IFTA, Form 2290, MCS-150, UCR — laid out in plain English with a heads-up well before each one. No more finding out the hard way.

Snap a photo. We read it, file it, watch the dates.

Take a picture of any compliance paper — insurance, CDL, medical card, your lease. The assistant figures out what it is, files it into the right audit-folder slot, and tracks the expiration so you don’t have to.

“Valid — but expires in 2 months. Reminder set.”

Per-diem + IFTA

The money side, counted for you

Per-diem is a tax deduction most owner-operators leave on the table; IFTA is the quarterly report everyone dreads. Connect your e-log once and both mostly fill themselves — days from your trips, miles from your states.

Drivers & fleet

Grow past one truck without growing the paperwork

Every driver gets a qualification file the audit expects — CDL, medical card, driving record — assembled and watched. Hire driver #2 and their file, testing-pool seat, and reminders start automatically.

Your assistant

An assistant that's actually briefed on your trucking business

Every answer starts from your real situation — your deadlines, your documents, your audit standing — plus a verified plain-English rulebook of the whole new-entrant process. It won't invent fees or dates, it tells you when something is free to do yourself, and it points you to the exact screen to get it done.

  • Knows your account: "your medical card expires in 48 days" — correct to the day.
  • Knows the process: audit, drug program, MCS-150, IFTA, 2290 — explained like a friend would.
  • Honest guardrails: no legal or tax advice, no guessing, and "that one's free" said out loud.
EntrantReady Assistant
Knows your account · plain English
Am I ready for my audit?
Mostly, yes — 8 of 11 items are done and your window doesn't open until March. Two quick things: I'm missing two daily inspection days and the rest of your truck lease. Both are phone-camera jobs.
Open Audit Folder →Open your Wallet →
Do I have to pay someone to file my MCS-150?
No — that one's 100% free at fmcsa.dot.gov, and anyone charging you for it is selling you your own paperwork. Yours isn't due until April 2028; I'll remind you well before.

What we keep handled for you


New Entrant Safety Audit readiness

Your audit folder, organized the way the audit actually expects it — done before the notice ever arrives.

A plain-English deadline calendar

Every required date in one place, explained so you know what it is and why it matters — with a heads-up well before each one.

Drug & alcohol program

Set up and coordinated through a licensed consortium partner. It is the #1 thing brand-new carriers miss — we make sure you don’t.

Per-diem money you’re owed

Every night away from home is a tax deduction most owner-operators never claim. We count the days; you keep the dollars.

IFTA fuel tax, worked out

Miles per state off your e-log, gallons off your receipts, and the quarterly return math done the way the return does it.

Driver files that stay legal

Every driver’s qualification file — CDL, medical card, driving record — assembled, watched, and flagged before an auditor sees it.

Daily inspections made easy

A print-ready DVIR pad with your carrier info pre-filled. The daily walk-around becomes check-and-sign.

A watch on your ELD

We check FMCSA’s revoked-device list every day. If your e-log device ever gets pulled, you hear it from us — not an officer.

Someone in your corner

A real small team (and an assistant that never sleeps) you can ask “what does this mean?” without feeling dumb or getting a pitch back.

Who we are, straight up

We're a small team building one thing well: a simple way for new carriers to stay on the right side of the FMCSA without a law degree or a full-time office manager. We don't run a call center. We won't hound you. If you reach out once and decide we're not for you, that's the end of it — you have our word.

And honestly? We're still building this for you, withyou. If something in here is confusing, or there's a piece of your compliance that's giving you a headache, tell us. The drivers who talk to us early are the ones who shape what this becomes. That's the whole point.

Start with a free readiness check

Give us your DOT number and we'll show you exactly where your audit clock stands and what to line up next — built from public FMCSA data, no charge, no strings. If we can help with the rest, we'll tell you straight. If you've already got it covered, we'll tell you that too — and we'll mean it.

Takes a couple minutes. We won't add you to a list or call you out of the blue. Membership, when you want it, is $29/mo — plain pricing.
