Compliance-driven consulting and technology for the modern carrier.
5th Wheel Group is the parent company behind trucking consulting, FMCSA compliance services, and the technology platforms carriers of every size will run on — including the 5th Wheel Logistics App and TRUC.
One partner across consulting, compliance, and technology.
We’re building 5th Wheel Group around three connected pillars, so carriers don’t have to stitch together a consultant, a compliance vendor, and separate software.
Transportation Consulting
Hands-on guidance for new and growing carriers — authority setup, operations, safety programs, and growth strategy from people who know the industry.
FMCSA Compliance
DOT and MC authority, ELD compliance, Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse management, hours-of-service, CSA monitoring, and audit preparation.
Carrier Technology
The 5th Wheel Logistics App and TRUC — technology built to power carriers of any size.
Technology built by people who understand trucking compliance.
Our consulting and compliance work directly shapes the products we’re building — so the software actually reflects how carriers operate day to day.
- 5th Wheel Logistics App — dispatch and operations built for small and large carriers.
- TRUC (Transportation Ready Under Compliance) — a technology platform in active development for the carrier ecosystem.

Founder-led. Industry-focused. Built in Dallas.
Industry-first thinking
Every service and product decision starts with what actually helps a carrier stay compliant and operating — not generic software features.
One accountable partner
Consulting, compliance, and technology from a single company means fewer handoffs and a partner who understands your full operation.
Early-stage, invested in your success
As an early-stage company, we work closely with each carrier and partner we take on — your feedback directly shapes what we build next.
Built by people who know trucking compliance from the inside.
5th Wheel Group LLC is the parent company behind our consulting practice, our FMCSA compliance services, and the carrier technology we’re building — the 5th Wheel Logistics App and TRUC.
Started in Dallas, built for carriers of every size.
5th Wheel Group was founded to solve a problem carriers face constantly: compliance help, operational consulting, and the software to run the business are usually scattered across separate vendors that don’t talk to each other.
As a founder-led company based in Dallas, Texas, we’re building 5th Wheel Group as a single home for all three — starting with hands-on consulting and FMCSA compliance work, and using what we learn from that work to build technology that actually fits how carriers operate.
We’re early. We don’t have a roster of customers yet, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. What we do have is deep knowledge of FMCSA regulations, a clear plan for the technology we’re building, and a founder committed to getting this right for the carriers we serve.

Keep carriers compliant, operating, and growing.
Every service we offer and every product we build is judged against one standard: does this make it easier for a carrier to stay compliant and stay on the road.
Clarity over complexity
FMCSA regulations are dense. We translate them into plain steps a carrier can actually follow.
Built from real operations
Our technology roadmap is informed directly by the compliance and consulting work we do — not built in a vacuum.
One accountable partner
Consulting, compliance, and technology under a single company, so nothing falls through the cracks between vendors.
Consulting and FMCSA compliance built around your operation.
Two tightly connected service lines: strategic and operational consulting for carriers, and full-service FMCSA compliance management so you can pass audits, keep your authority, and stay on the road.
Transportation Consulting
Practical guidance for carriers starting up, scaling, or fixing operational gaps — from a team that understands both the regulatory side and the day-to-day of running trucks.
- New carrier setup — entity structure, DOT/MC authority applications, and initial operating requirements.
- Operational consulting — dispatch workflows, driver management, and process improvement.
- Safety program development — building a safety culture and documentation that holds up under scrutiny.
- Growth & scaling strategy — guidance for carriers adding trucks, drivers, or lanes.
- Technology adoption planning — help choosing and rolling out the right systems as you grow.
FMCSA Compliance Services
We manage the ongoing regulatory requirements that keep a motor carrier legally on the road — so DOT compliance isn’t something you have to track alone.
- DOT & MC authority registration — new authority applications and BOC-3 filings.
- ELD compliance — electronic logging device setup and ongoing compliance checks.
- Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse management — queries, reporting, and recordkeeping.
- Hours-of-service (HOS) compliance — policy setup and driver log review.
- CSA / SMS score monitoring — tracking your safety scores and flagging issues early.
- DOT audit preparation — document review and mock audits ahead of compliance reviews.
- IFTA & IRP filing support — fuel tax and registration compliance.
- Driver qualification file management — keeping DQFs complete and audit-ready.
A simple process, built around your timeline.
Assess
We review your current operation, authority status, and compliance standing to identify gaps and priorities.
Build
We put the right consulting plan or compliance program in place — documentation, filings, and processes included.
Maintain
We keep monitoring your compliance status and operations so issues get caught before they become violations.
Technology for the modern carrier — built from real compliance work.
We’re actively developing two products, each designed to fit how small and large carriers actually operate. Both are currently in development.
5th Wheel Logistics App
A logistics and operations platform built to support dispatch, load management, and day-to-day carrier operations for fleets of any size.
- Designed for small owner-operators and large fleets alike
- Built around real dispatch and operations workflows
- Informed directly by our consulting and compliance work
Who it’s for
Carriers who need a single system to manage loads, drivers, and operations without duct-taping together multiple tools.
What to expect
More details on TRUC will be published as development progresses. Join the early access list to be first to know.
TRUC
Transportation Ready Under Compliance. TRUC is a technology platform we’re building as part of the 5th Wheel Group ecosystem, aimed at giving carriers a more connected way to manage their operations.
- Part of the broader 5th Wheel Group technology suite
- Built to work alongside the 5th Wheel Logistics App
- Full feature set and launch timeline coming soon
