Do you feel “big brother” is too involved in your business as a motor carrier? Are you finding it increasingly difficult to comply with all those FMCSA standards and still operate your business as a motor carrier? Is that precious down time that you previously devoted to family and friends now spent trying to satisfy burdensome regulations? Do you say to yourself, “All I want to do is drive my truck and make enough money to feed my family?”
Or . . . . . . “HOW CAN I GET THE GOVERNMENT OFF MY BACK?!”
Unfortunately, as a motor carrier you cannot unless you operate your business within the FMCSA’s standards. Our number one goal is to help our trucking clients remain on the road and operate as profitably as possible. One of the biggest threats to trucking businesses today are the effects of having high SMS scores. Time lost due to increased number of inspections, loss of potential loads due to the reluctance by shippers of hiring trucking firms with high SMS scores and the possibility of having authority revoked can be extremely costly or even devastating to a trucking business.
Our agency has developed a new service for our clients to help avoid all of the headaches that arise from High SMS scores. The greatest preventive measure to protecting your SMS scores to know about a potential problem before it becomes a serious problem. That is why we want you to know when your scores are reaching dangerous levels before the government lets you know you’re already in trouble.
When you become a client, we will input your business in our state of the art system that automatically monitors the government websites and will notify you when any of your SMS scores reach within 10 points of alert status allowing you time to take preventive measures of reducing your scores.
Small trucking businesses are under fire now more than ever. With high fuel costs, fines, maintenance expenses and government red tape, it’s nearly impossible for drivers to provide for their families let alone get ahead. And now the government is making it even harder!
