Meet Your Compliance Partner: Wide Open Road

Wide Open Road Compliance is a team of trucking industry experts who help companies stay legal, safe, and compliant with federal and state regulations.

They understand how confusing DOT rules can be, and they make compliance simple and stress-free for trucking companies of all sizes.

Whether you have one truck or 500, they provide full-service compliance management so you can focus on the road.

Essential Compliance Services for Trucking Companies

Let’s take a look at what Wide Open Road (WOR) offers.

Monthly Compliance Services

Wide Open Road replaces the need for an in-house compliance team. Their monthly compliance plans keep your fleet updated with federal and state regulations.

  • Flat monthly pricing per truck, based on fleet size
  • Dedicated U.S.-based account directors
  • Fleet-wide compliance management, onboarding, and tracking

If you aren’t compliant, you’re at risk of shutdowns and massive fines. WOR helps fleets stay on the road and avoid costly mistakes.

Driver File Management & Safety

One of the biggest compliance headaches is keeping driver files up to date. Wide Open Road handles:

  • MVR (Motor Vehicle Record) Checks – Ensure drivers meet safety standards
  • Driver Qualification Files – Maintain required DOT records
  • Drug & Alcohol Testing Pool – Manage a DOT-compliant random drug screening program
  • CDL, Med Cert, & Annual Reviews – Stay ahead of renewal deadlines
  • Support for New Trucking Companies & Ongoing Safety Meetings – Stay Ahead of DOT Audits

This keeps trucking companies safe, compliant, and ready for any DOT inspection.

Compliance for Non-CDL Drivers

Not all trucking operations require CDL drivers—but that doesn’t mean they’re exempt from compliance rules. Wide Open Road Compliance ensures that contracted and non-CDL drivers meet legal and safety requirements, just like CDL drivers.

They provide:

  • MVR Reviews & Driver Monitoring – Keep track of safety records.
  • Pre-Employment & Retroactive Applications – Ensure all drivers meet hiring standards.
  • Drug Testing & Compliance – Manage DOT-approved testing programs.
  • Customizable Payment Options – Flat monthly or annual fees, with transparent pricing.

By managing these details, WOR reduces risk, prevents liability issues, and ensures all drivers meet legal and company requirements.

Essential Compliance Services for Trucking Companies

But let’s be honest—compliance is complicated, and getting it wrong is costly.

Many trucking companies don’t realize how strict DOT enforcement is until they’re hit with fines or, worse, forced off the road. Even a single missing document, expired medical certificate, or overlooked driver qualification file can result in thousands of dollars in penalties.

Did you know?

  • The FMCSA regularly issues out-of-service orders for non-compliance, putting entire fleets on hold
  • Audits are increasing—especially for small-to-mid-sized trucking companies that may not have in-house compliance teams.
  • Fines for violations can range from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars per offense.

The problem? Most trucking companies don’t have the time or resources to stay ahead of compliance on their own. And trying to do it manually is a huge administrative burden that takes you away from the road.
