2. Who We Are

Axlepoint Compliance LLC ("Axlepoint," "we," "us," or "our") is a DOT/FMCSA compliance consulting business based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, serving motor carriers and fleet operators.

Axlepoint Compliance provides consulting services related to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance, including but not limited to driver qualification file review, drug and alcohol program guidance, hours of service compliance review, vehicle maintenance record review, and related advisory services.

Important: Axlepoint Compliance is a consulting service, not a law firm, insurance provider, or government agency. We do not provide legal advice. Our services are advisory in nature and are intended to help identify compliance gaps and provide guidance based on applicable federal regulations. Final responsibility for regulatory compliance rests with the motor carrier/client at all times.

• Passage of any FMCSA audit, compliance review, or safety rating
• Prevention of any citation, fine, or Out-of-Service order
• Any specific business outcome resulting from our services

Regulatory compliance is an ongoing responsibility that depends on the client's continued adherence to applicable rules, accurate information sharing, and operational practices outside our direct control.

5. Client Responsibilities

By engaging our services, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information and documentation as requested
• Maintain responsibility for the day-to-day compliance of your drivers, vehicles, and operations
• Use any advice, checklists, templates, or reports provided by Axlepoint Compliance at your own discretion and judgment
