Foley compliance for paperwork help?

All these things like bienial, ucr, drug consortium, iftas?
They would charge more than a buck, and it wouldn't be worth it.
For example, one of them wanted $150 to do ucr, which takes less than a minute. They had audacity to call me and inform me it was due immediately. They are not service providers. They're parasites!

 

Get a calender or learn to use the one on your phone. That'll keep you up to date when these very simple things are due.

I would never trust a service like Foley. They, and other companies like DOT Compliance Service, are shady enough to spam you with email and calls so why wouldn't they be dishonest enough to abuse the suckers who actually sign up.

I imagine a lot of the people who get sucked into places like Foley also keep factoring companies in business. Same for guru courses from so called YouTube trucking experts.

 

Foley is becoming like the dispatch service calls. I get that crap every day!

Run your own business or drive for someone else if you just want to drive.

 

Exactly. I used an online calendar and set all the dates to repeat whenever something was due to keep organized. Once you get into a decent groove your organizational method will become effortless.

If you feel you must pay someone else to do these things find a close trusted friend or family member to do it as an employee. At least you're not feeding the parasites that way.

 

As a consultant myself I despise companies like Foley as they give those of us that are honest and reasonable a bad name. Any consultant that uses high pressure tactics and deception is bad news.

There are a few good companies (I'm not allowed to make recommendations if I want to stay active on this board) that can do this type of work for reasonable fees, but typically for a one truck operation is isn't worth the money to pay someone to do what you can do yourself.

The one recommendation I can make, if you want just a little assistance, is the Compliance Connection software OOIDA offers. I am not a big fan of them for most things, especially since we don't see eye to eye on towing or broker issues, however their compliance department and drug screening services are well run and very useful for single truck and small fleet operations.

That said, with just a little organization and research you can manage all your compliance needs yourself very easily.

 

I use Trux from Little Rock ar to get my tags every year, just because I don’t want to go to Little Rock to do it.

 

Why do you need new tags every year and why do you need to pick them up in person?

 

IRP tags had to be done only in Little Rock no other dmv in state. Trailer tags are permanent, they just add cab card but you always get the new person who makes you drive there then say you didn’t have too.(happened twice) 200 mile round trip plus day off work revenue missed x2 so I let them.
NOT foley, they bug the heck out of me all the time, I let Trux Inc do it.
