$50 DOT Priority Check
One carrier. One concern. Within two business days after the call, you receive a plain-English brief showing the three areas to verify first and a seven-day action order.
What the $50 includes
- Review of one public USDOT/SAFER record.
- One focused 20-minute phone or video call.
- One-page brief with three priorities and a seven-day action order.
- The full $50 credited toward an Operations Assessment started within 30 days.
No private driver records. No legal opinion. No formal DOT audit, certification, corrective filing, or guarantee against enforcement. Active audits, enforcement actions, crash disputes, and legal matters require a different provider or scope.

Use this longer intake when the problem spans departments, systems, handoffs, or more than one DOT workflow. The full assessment is a paid 1-2 week engagement, normally $1,500-$3,000 flat.
Assessment questions
The assessment is meant to remove ambiguity before anybody commits to bigger work.
What is the $50 DOT Priority Check?
It is a fixed-scope starting point for one motor carrier and one operational concern. Jacob reviews the carrier's public USDOT record, holds one focused 20-minute call, and sends a one-page brief with three areas to verify first and a seven-day action order.
Is the DOT Priority Check a compliance audit or legal opinion?
No. It is an operational priority review based on public information and the workflow described on the call. It is not legal advice, a formal DOT audit, compliance certification, corrective filing, or a guarantee against enforcement. Do not send private driver records or personal information.
What happens after I pay for the DOT Priority Check?
Stripe confirms the payment and sends the purchase details to Jacob. Jacob contacts you within one business day to schedule the call, then delivers the one-page brief within two business days after the call. If he cannot provide three useful next actions within the agreed scope, the $50 is refunded.
What happens during an Operations Assessment?
Jacob spends 1-2 weeks mapping the current operation, reviewing handoffs, checking tool overlap, and identifying where work is getting dropped. The output is a written assessment with a prioritized fix list, timeline, and quote.
Do I have to hire TNDS for embed work after the assessment?
No. The assessment stands on its own. You keep the written findings whether you continue with TNDS, hand them to an internal team, or take them to another vendor.
How long does the assessment take?
Most assessments take 1-2 weeks, depending on operation size, department count, and record complexity.
