Owner-Operator Compliance Checklist for a One-Truck Business

A one-truck operation can still have a significant compliance workload. Depending on the operation, an owner-operator may need to manage USDOT registration, operating authority, insurance, BOC-3, UCR, driver qualification, medical qualification, drug and alcohol compliance, Clearinghouse responsibilities, HOS, ELD, vehicle inspections, maintenance, IFTA, IRP, HVUT, and state permits. The best strategy is to create one master compliance calendar and update it whenever the operation changes.
