The rules change. Nobody sends you the memo.

FMCSA and DOT keep rewriting the rulebook. New deadlines. New violations. New paperwork. Nobody mails you the update, so most fleets find out at roadside. Run the two-minute check below and see which federal and state rules hit your trucks today. No email to see it.

State coverage today, 22 states: TX, NY, PA, FL, MI, GA, IL, OH, MN, CA, IN, WI, KY, IA, NM, OK, LA, NJ, AZ, NV, AL, and TN. Based somewhere else? The check still runs every federal rule for your fleet, and you can ask us to tell you when your state is added.

Covers federal FMCSA/DOT rules plus the state layer for 22 states: TX, NY, PA, FL, MI, GA, IL, OH, MN, CA, IN, WI, KY, IA, NM, OK, LA, NJ, AZ, NV, AL, and TN. We checked every one against the state's own sources, including verifying which states have no extra programs. California CARB emissions programs are tracked as public updates with a waitlist, not personalized yet. Based somewhere else? Your result covers the federal rules only.

Want this in writing? One email gets you three things: the full written report for your fleet · your deadlines in the calendar app you already use — subscribe and it updates itself as rules change, or download the file (verified dates, two-week warnings either way) · a heads-up before every announced inspection blitz. Yours to keep.

Then, every Monday

The Fleet Brief reads everything FMCSA and DOT publish, every day, and sends fleets like yours one short brief each Monday: what changed, whether it applies to you, and what's due next. Here's how this week's issue starts:

Issue No. 1 · Week of August 24, 2026

"On August 10, FMCSA published a proposed rule — not yet in force — that would write the English-proficiency out-of-service violation into the federal safety regulations. What this changes today: nothing. Drivers are already being placed out of service at roadside; that started June 25, 2025. Comments close October 9."

The price

$99/moFounding rate, locked for as long as you stay. The price only goes up for people who join later. Cancel in one click. Your rate never rises.
  • The Monday brief, filtered to your fleet
  • Verified deadlines living in your calendar: filings, state renewals, comment windows, announced inspection blitzes. Subscribe once and new deadlines appear as rules change. Where a renewal month is your fleet's own, you get your window, never a guessed date
  • Same-day alerts when something takes effect inside 30 days
  • Your fleet's baseline report, kept current as rules change
If we miss one: a covered rule change applies to your fleet, takes effect, and your brief didn't flag it before the effective date — we refund every subscription dollar you've paid us. Automatically. Covered means the federal regimes and the state deadline programs shown in your baseline.
This refunds subscription fees only. It does not cover fines, penalties, legal fees, lost loads, or other damages. The guarantee reaches the federal regimes plus the state deadline programs shown in your baseline, and stops there: state readiness items and watch items sit outside it, and California CARB is not covered. Where a program's renewal month is assigned to your fleet (IRP, Texas registration, the California MCP), the date lives on your own cab card or certificate. We flag changes to the rule, not your fleet's assigned dates.

Reserving is free and holds your rate for launch. After you subscribe: $99 billed monthly until you cancel, which takes one email or one click. No phone call, no retention script. Your rate never rises while you stay subscribed.
