SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

What Is DNI Safe Start?

DNI Safe Start is a proactive, boots-on-the-ground service that helps fleets prepare for the unexpected. Whether you’re facing an upcoming DOT audit, trying to lower your insurance risk, or just want peace of mind, we help you uncover weak points, fix what matters, and strengthen your compliance from the ground up. It’s your opportunity to clean house before the inspector shows up—or worse, a claim exposes what’s been overlooked.

What’s Included in a Safe Start Review?

What Is DNI Protect+?

01

DNI Protect+ is our strategic, long-term program for companies who aren’t in crisis—but know they could be doing more. It’s built for fleets that are tired of reactive fire drills and want to build systems, habits, and cultures that prevent claims, reduce costs, and attract better drivers. We become an extension of your team—providing expert insight, consistent coaching, and structured reviews that keep safety from falling through the cracks.

What Is Rapid Response?

02

DNI Protect+ – Rapid Response is your “safety medic” for fleet emergencies. We deploy quickly, assess the damage, and get to work fixing it—before the fines, shutdowns, or legal issues hit. This isn’t theoretical help. This is hands-on triage to stabilize your safety program and protect your business.

What Is Policy Checkpoint?

03

Policy Checkpoint is a coverage education service designed for trucking companies that want to understand their risk before they sign another renewal—or worse, face a denied claim. We don’t just look for ways to sell you more coverage. We show you: What you already have What’s missing, Where you might be overpaying, And how to align your insurance with your real-world operation

 

   Who Is Safe Start For?     What You Walk Away With

   Safe Start is the right first move if:

  • You’re growing and haven’t had time to organize your files
  • Your safety manager inherited a mess
  • You’ve never had a formal audit
  • You’re prepping for renewal or DOT inspection
  • You don’t know what you don’t know—but want to fix it
  • A clear view of your current compliance standing
  • Reduced audit stress and liability exposure
  • Confidence that your team and files are ready

 

What’s Included in Protect+?
Quarterly Fleet Risk Reviews
A full operational review every quarter to uncover patterns, weaknesses, or compliance drift. 
Safety Culture Check-Ins 
We meet with your team and leadership to align safety with real-life operations—not just binders and slogans. 
Training & Policy Optimization
Outdated policies? Repetitive training that drivers ignore? We modernize your approach for real- world impact.

Ongoing Driver Coaching
We reinforce good habits, address risky behaviors, and support your team through actual performance coaching—not just forms.
Insurance Strategy Alignment We work with your current coverage to ensure it evolves with your operation and risk profile.

   Who Is Protect+ For?    What You Get With DNI Protect+
  • Fleets that want to move from compliance to excellence
  • Safety managers who want a partner—not a product
  • Operations that have had close calls and want prevention, not panic
  • Companies who value their people and want to protect them the right way
  • A quarterly plan to guide safety efforts
  • Less reactive scrambling—and more proactive improvement
  • Lower risk exposure, better driver engagement
  • A safety partner who sees what you don’t and supports what you can’t

 

What’s Included in a Rapid Response Intervention?

Immediate Triage & File Audit
We evaluate your current condition—driver files, maintenance records, accident history, violations—and tell you what’s bleeding.
Crisis Communication Guidance
We help you handle DOT officers, internal conversations, and high-risk driver meetings with clarity and professionalism.
Emergency Policy & File Correction
We’ll correct, rebuild, or rework critical safety documents and file systems with urgency.
Hotline Support During Recovery
We stay on call during your recovery phase to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

   Who Is This For?   What You Can Expect
  • Fleets under DOT scrutiny or recent violations
  • Companies that failed a recent audit or inspection
  • Carriers with unsafe driver scores or multiple crashes
  • Operations where “no system” has become the system
  • Leadership teams overwhelmed and behind
  • A rapid stabilization of your safety position
  • Clear priorities to fix the biggest risks first
  • Guidance to handle DOT contact with confidence
  • A realistic path out of the danger zone
  • Optional transition into Protect+ after recovery

 

From Recovery to Strategy
Once the crisis is under control, we don’t walk away—we walk with you. Most Rapid Response clients transition into Protect+ so they never end up in emergency mode again.

Know Us Before You Need Us
Policy Checkpoint is simply a friendly way to start the conversation. It gives you a clear understanding of your coverage, and it gives us a chance to show you who
we are—how we think, how we work, and what it’s like to have a safety and insurance partner who’s actually in your corner. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just real insight, real clarity, and a chance to build trust before you
ever need to rely on us. Because the best time to meet your risk partner... is before you're calling us from the side of the road or on the edge of an audit.

What’s Included in a Policy Checkpoint?
1. Coverage Breakdown
We review your current declarations and endorsements to show what’s covered (and what’s not).
2. Gap & Redundancy Check
We identify missing pieces—like cargo exclusions, umbrella misalignment, or outdated unit lists.
3. Practical Coverage Summary
We give you a simple, jargon-free breakdown of your protection so you can make smart, confident decisions.
4. No-Pressure Recommendations
If your coverage is solid, we’ll tell you. If it needs work, we’ll show you how to improve it—on your terms.

 

  Who Is This For? Top Mistakes We Catch During Policy Checkpoints
  • Fleets approaching renewal
  • Companies that have grown or changed operations
  • Safety managers who want to ensure their drivers are protected
  • Business owners who’ve never had their policy explained in plain English
  • Any operation that believes “just having a policy” isn’t the same as being protected
  • Missing non-owned or hired auto coverage
  • Cargo exclusions hidden in the fine print
  • Umbrella policies that don’t extend over cargo or liability
  • Drivers or vehicles that aren't actually listed
  • Deductibles that don’t match your risk tolerance or cash flow
