Compliance Services
DOT Consulting
Limo & Bus Compliance is proud to offer our Safety Consulting Program to the limo and bus industry. Our experience shows that many companies need less than two hours of compliance assistance per month. With that in mind, for a small monthly fee, you gain the peace of mind that comes from having a compliance specialist available for your business.
In addition, you gain access to Limo & Bus Compliance’s forms, policies, best practices and training materials, all designed to Make Compliance Simple!
Safety Rating Upgrades
Losing your safety rating can have a long lasting impact on your business. From lost clients to increased insurance rates, it’s never a good thing. We understand that even if you correct the problems, getting your safety rating restored isn’t easy.
Let our team work to get your rating restored with a professional presentation written in the language the DOT speaks. We will work with your staff to correct any remaining deficiencies and to convert your policies and procedures into DOT-ready explanations of your safety improvement.
Whether you just completed the audit or received your last review years ago, we’ll put together a package that proves your commitment to being a safe and legal operation.
Driver Qualification Files
You only get one chance at a first impression. Driver Qualification files (DQ) are your first chance to show an inspector that you’re serious about safety. Limo and Bus Compliance removes the guesswork and provides you with complete packets and ongoing tracking, to ensure you’re always audit ready.
Limo and Bus Compliance will not only setup your driver qualification files but will conduct annual reviews and updates as required by law. Be ahead of the curve and rest easy knowing your files are always compliant.
E-Logs and ELD Management
Most electronic logging software is not equipped to handle frequent driver and vehicles changes or mixed fleets. LimoLogs was designed from scratch as the solution for mixed fleet operators. Unlike many of our competitors, LimoLogs uses our own smart technology to distinguish between DOT commercial motor vehicles and other vehicle classes. With industry leading fleet management, reporting and KPI tracking, LimoLogs raises the bar for electronic logging.
Stuck in a longterm contract or happy with your existing service?
No problem. Our staff have experience implementing and managing all of the most common electronic logging and fleet management programs. Let our experts oversee your safety program, so you can focus on your core business.
Audit Preparation and Representation
Most companies wouldn't dream of representing themselves in court, so why should a federal audit be any different. Our expert representatives are
involved in more passenger carrier audits every month than most auditors conduct in 2-3 years. This level of focused expertise shows in our 100% success rate.
With our industry leading preparation and unbeatable track record, facing a DOT audit doesn't have to be a scary proposition. Let our staff put you at ease and streamline the audit process.
Fleet Management
Digital Vehicle Inspections
Daily driver vehicle inspections is the single-most important item in ensuring your fleet stays in peak condition, but tracking paper is outdated.
Using our proprietary software, drivers can report vehicle issues, submit custom checklists and more. Instead of paper, our email and text notification system and intuitive backed portal lets you easily see reported issues.

Damage Tracking
Vehicle damage is a reality with any fleet. Vehicle specific photos help drivers clearly mark the location of new damage and identify which damage has already been reported. Timestamps and photos eliminate the blame-game and let you quickly get to the source of new damage.
Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is crucial, but knowing when to do what can be challenging. Our system automatically creates work-orders based upon manufacturer recommended maintenance programs with simple checklists outlining what should be completed.
If you prefer to follow your own maintenance program, setting up custom maintenance programs is easy and intuitive. Intervals can be set by mileage, days, or engine hours.
Cost Tracking
For many companies, the fleet department is a top 5 expensive item. In Limologs, reported issues, maintenance items, and body damage automatically create work orders. As work orders are completed, our easy to use reports provide you real-time data on cost per mile, detailed fleet financials, and vendor spending.
Downtime and Utilization
LimoLogs provides built in reporting on average vehicle downtime, repair time, compliance with your preventative maintenance schedule and even vehicle utilization. With simple, easy to use reports, you can quickly track trends in your fleet department and assess the need for more staff or vehicles.
Telematics
GPS
Vehicle tracking is the standard for many fleets. Quickly locate your vehicles, establish geofences, and receive alerts. We offer both hard-wired and plug-n-play units for every type of vehicle. Like all our products, our GPS program is month-to-month and backed with industry leading customer-service.
Camera Systems
Our camera system provides real-time web-access feeds, automatic incident recording and functions as an all-in-one ELD. Our systems can be equipped with one to eight cameras, arranged to fit your particular operation. Installation is simple, and just like our GPS, service is month-to-month.
Driver Behavior Tracking
Both our GPS and camera systems offer driver behavior reporting that is customized for your industry. Standards vary between chauffeured car, over-the-road buses, fleet trucks, and even from company-to-company. We work with your staff to provide feedback based upon your unique needs.
Insurance
Service
One of our account representatives will work with you to gather all the pertinent information to submit full packets to all the most relevant carriers for your market. We work with you to learn about your safety, compliance and maintenance programs in order to provide a comprehensive view for the underwriters in order to achieve the best rate possible. We are available 24/7/365, so when you need your broker most, we’re just a phone call away.
Honesty
In an industry known for shady tactics, we believe that simple honest service is a necessity. We will happily provide you with all quotes or quote additional carriers. Unfortunately, insurance brokers receive performance bonuses from carriers for driving clients to them and different commission rates from different carriers. Our goal is to provide YOU with the best rate, regardless of commission or bonuses.
Transparency
Insurance shouldn’t be a mystery. The reality is simple, we receive a commission based upon your annual premiums. Instead of holding bids until the last minute, we work ahead to provide you with quotes well in advance and explore specialty options that may be a better fit for your business. If you have a question ask, we’re on the same team.
Experience
We leverage our experience as owners and operators of both large and small fleets to help find the best fit for your business. We’ve combined our experience in fleet and risk management with experts in commercial insurance to provide you a one-stop shop for all your fleet needs.
