Why This Starter Kit Is Free

This Starter Kit exists to give you the essential federal steps, checklists, and expectations so you can start legal, organized, and confident from day one.

This Starter Kit helps you:

  • Understand early federal compliance expectations

  • Organize your required documents correctly

  • Avoid beginner mistakes and early violations

  • Prepare for the New Entrant Audit with confidence

Why New Carriers Trust the Federal Starter Kit™

“As a first-time hotshot carrier, the Federal Starter Kit showed me exactly what compliance files I was missing. I didn’t even realize my DQ file and safety policies were incomplete until I saw the previews. Upgrading to the full kit gave me every document I needed before my audit.”

Marcus D., Georgia Hotshot Operator

The Federal Logistics Compliance Starter Kit helps new hotshot and box truck carriers understand the exact federal files required by FMCSA before audits and inspections.
