About TIPS

TIPS Tools | Compliance Platform

Your company's compliance, all in one place.

TIPS gives your company a live dashboard for everything the DOT/FMCSA expects of you: your authority, your insurance, your fleet, your filings, and the deadlines that keep them current. From managing your rosters and tracking requirements to accessing decades of compliance knowledge, TIPS gives you the tools to succeed.


Workspace

Your company workspace

One profile for your carrier: authority, insurance, and safety at a glance, with your drivers, vehicles, trailers, requirements, and documents in tabs right behind it. Search and filter any roster, choose your own columns, export any view to PDF, and add custom fields for the things only your operation tracks.

Carrier Search

Search any USDOT Number

Look up any USDOT number and get a live snapshot straight from FMCSA systems: authority, insurance on file, fleet size, and safety posture. Brokers too: vet the standing of anyone you work with before you sign.

Calendar

A calendar that knows your deadlines

MCS-150 biennial updates, insurance renewals, and scheduled filings appear before they're due. Add your own events too! You can track internal company deadlines, industry events, and more.

CPM Calculator

Know your cost per mile

Put in your trucks, miles, and monthly costs and see what a mile actually costs you to run, updated as you type. Save your profile and price any load against your real numbers before you commit to hauling it. A live feed of industry news sits on the next tab over.

Guides for the filings and rules that affect your operation, written for carriers, not lawyers, and organized so answers are two clicks away.

Messages

A direct line to the TIPS team

Send and receive messages inside your workspace, and get automated alerts when something about your public information changes, including DOT and authority status, your SMS profile, and more. Deadline reminders arrive there too, and every alert type has its own switch in Settings.

Documents

Files where your filings live

Send registrations, CDLs, and insurance paperwork straight from your workspace, and every filing TIPS completes for you is saved in the same place. No email attachments to chase down, and who sent what, and when, is always on record.
