DOT Compliance, Done Right

Desert Fleet Solutions helps motor carriers stay safe, compliant, and audit-ready. We do the compliance work most fleets don't have time to do — driver qualification files, MVR reviews, drug and alcohol program management, hours-of-service and ELD compliance, vehicle maintenance records, and audit preparation — so you can run your trucks with confidence.

We work from one simple principle: compliance is an operating system, not a pile of paperwork. A written policy means nothing if the records don't prove it was followed. We help you connect every procedure to the evidence that proves it works — and fix the gaps before a regulator finds them.

Why work with us

Desert Fleet Solutions is led by Jeremy DeGarmo, a transportation professional with more than a decade in the industry. He's managed CDL training schools, recruited and trained drivers, and driven Class A over the road — so he knows what compliance looks like from the driver's seat, the dispatch office, and the classroom.

That range matters. Most consultants know the regulations. Jeremy knows how the regulations meet the real world: how a driver qualification file survives an audit, how a school's TPR listing stays in good standing, and where fleets actually break down between policy and proof.

Services for motor carriers

  • Driver qualification files (DQ files) — setup, audits, and cleanup

  • MVR reviews and annual driving-record checks

  • FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse queries and program compliance

  • Hours-of-service and ELD compliance reviews

  • Vehicle maintenance and DVIR record programs

  • New-entrant safety audit preparation

  • Mock audits and corrective-action plans

Services for CDL schools

CDL schools carry a compliance burden most fleets don't: they must maintain their Training Provider Registry (TPR) listing, document student proficiency, submit training completions to FMCSA on time, and meet state authorization requirements — on top of the employer and vehicle obligations their operations create.

We help schools with:

  • TPR eligibility, registration, and readiness reviews

  • ELDT curriculum, assessment, and record controls

  • Instructor qualification files and student training records

  • Completion-submission workflows and deadline tracking

  • Training-vehicle compliance and maintenance records

  • Audit readiness and mock TPR reviews

An honest boundary

We sell documented systems, not promised outcomes. We don't guarantee audit results, approve curricula, act as a state licensing authority, or serve as legal counsel. What we do is build compliance evidence you can stand behind — records, workflows, and accountability that hold up when a regulator asks questions.
