About TenFour
About TenFour Compliance: built on both sides of the roadside
TenFour is built by one person who has done this from two directions most people in compliance never see: the driver running his own paperwork, and the officer at the window asking to see it.
He drove
Before any of this, Sam Bhullar drove a truck and ran the paperwork himself. Not in theory: the file, the renewals, the quarterly return, the dates that arrive whether or not you are on the road.
That is the part the compliance industry has never seemed to understand about its own customers. Nobody pays a driver to file. Every hour spent finding a medical card, rebuilding a fuel log or working out which UCR bracket you are in comes straight out of the hours that actually earn. The work is mandatory, it is tedious, and it is dangerous to get wrong, which is the exact profile of work a business should be able to hand to a service, the way everyone already hands off payroll.
A one-truck company answers to most of the same federal recordkeeping rules as a three-hundred-truck company. The big carrier has a safety department. The owner-operator has evenings.
He works in traffic enforcement today
Sam Bhullar. Former over-the-road driver and law enforcement professional specializing in traffic enforcement, combining firsthand trucking experience with real-world insight into roadside enforcement and regulatory compliance. That is a working view of the moment all of this paperwork is actually for.
He knows which documents get asked for first. He knows what a complete file looks like to the person reading it: in order, current, and handed over without a search through a glovebox. And he sees how often a problem comes down to a record that existed but could not be produced right then.
Regulations tell you what is required. The roadside shows you what has to be current, organized and easy to hand over. Most compliance advice is written only from the first. TenFour is built from both.
TenFour is a private compliance-support service, not a government agency and not a law firm. Nothing about the founder’s background changes how anyone is treated at a roadside stop. It changes how well you are prepared for one. TenFour is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of FMCSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation or any law enforcement agency.
Why that changes the product
Published prices. The price of every service is on the site before you talk to anyone. A carrier who has been quoted three different numbers by three companies in one week is not being served: they are being sized up.
No scare mail. Nothing we send is designed to look like a notice from an agency. If a deadline is real, the date and the rule are right there and you can check them yourself.
A person on anything official. Automation is very good at watching dates and reading documents. It is not the thing that should sign off on a filing, so it does not.
Automation on the clerical work. The re-keying, the chasing, the calendar math. That is what makes traditional compliance expensive, and it is exactly the part a system does better and cheaper.
Records organized for the moment someone asks. Not organized to look tidy in an app. Organized so the file can be produced, complete and in order, by whoever is holding the phone at the window.
What we believe
Every price public
Membership, add-ons and standalone work are printed on the site. You never have to ask what something costs to find out.
No contracts
Cancel any month. On the annual plan the remaining full months come back at one-twelfth. Nothing renews without a notice email first.
Fees paid directly
You pay government and third-party fees directly to the agency or provider, with the number published next to the work. We never front a fee or mark one up.
A human reviews everything official
Software prepares the filing. A person checks it before it goes anywhere with a government agency's name on it.
How we work
- 1
Software collects
Your USDOT number pulls what the public record already knows. You send the rest by text, photos are fine. Documents are read, classified and filed automatically.
- 2
Systems monitor
Every deadline that applies to your operation is on a calendar that runs itself: daily checks, alerts at 60, 30 and 7 days, filings queued when they come due.
- 3
AI prepares
Filings are pre-filled from your profile. IFTA is computed from your ELD and fuel exports. Routine questions get a drafted answer from your own account and the help hub.
- 4
A person reviews
Every filing, every driver file sign-off, every answer that could be read as advice. Sam reviews the output, never the data entry.
- 5
You approve and submit
Where a signature, a decision or a government login is yours, you review it on your phone, submit it yourself and pay any fee directly. We confirm it landed and archive it in your vault.
We automate the repetitive work so human time goes where it actually matters.
A traditional compliance company bills for the hours a person spends re-keying dates and chasing documents. TenFour builds the system that does that part, keeps a person on the judgment calls, and prices the difference into the membership.
Built in Houston for the smallest carriers in the country
Houston, Texas is one of the densest small-carrier markets in the United States, new authorities, one-truck companies and family fleets, in every direction. That is who TenFour is designed for: carriers with 1 to 6 trucks and no office staff. It is built for the smallest trucking companies, not shrunk down from enterprise fleet software and sold to them at a discount, and it puts the filings, the driver files, the consortium paperwork and the calendar in one place, under one monthly payment, instead of spread across three or four vendors.
What a carrier based here actually owes, federal and state, is set out in full on our Texas page.
