About Total Insight Professional Services
Total Insight Professional Services (TIPS) is a DOT compliance company headquartered in Boise, Idaho, serving commercial vehicle operators in all 50 states. We help carriers obtain USDOT numbers, manage FMCSA and state compliance, and stay audit-ready, whether you run for-hire trucks or a private fleet.
We saw how small operators got treated. We built the alternative.
Before starting TIPS, we spent years inside the transportation compliance industry, helping thousands of carriers file USDOT numbers, set up compliance programs, and pass safety audits. We saw what worked and what didn't.
We also saw how the industry treated small operators: confusing pricing, charges for filings they didn't need, and support lines that went nowhere. People were left to figure out complex FMCSA and state regulations on their own.
TIPS does it differently. Transparent pricing, direct access to people who know what they're talking about, and a focus on getting things right the first time instead of fixing mistakes later.
Read our story on CDLLifeThe two people you'll actually talk to.
TIPS was founded by Samantha Vickery and Bailey Hoak, two veterans of the transportation compliance industry who worked with over 10,000 small businesses before starting the company.
Both Samantha and Bailey handle compliance across the board. Call either number and you're talking to one of the two people who built this company, not a queue, a specialist, or a chat bot.
