What we handle

Four services, done properly

Quote in one business day

Trip & fuel permits

Temporary permits for a truck entering a state it is not registered in, usually the same business day.

Supervisor training

The reasonable-suspicion training every supervisor of CDL drivers must take, online or on site.

49 CFR 382.603

How it works

  1. Send the request

    One form: your company, your trucks or drivers, and the service you need.

  2. We confirm in writing

    The same business day, with what applies to you and what it costs. Nothing is filed or charged before you agree.

  3. We handle it

    Consortium enrollment, IFTA returns every quarter, trip permits before the truck reaches the line, training on your schedule.

Why carriers switch to Profirm

No scare letters. No surprise tests. No call center.

  • The FMCSA minimum, not a test more. Some consortiums run alcohol tests at 70 to 75 percent because they are paid per test. We run 10 percent, the legal rate.
  • Our fee and the government's, never blended. State permit fees and IFTA decal fees are billed at cost, apart from ours.
  • A person answers. The same business day, in writing.
  • 38 years of audits. We started in 1988 keeping Quebec carriers compliant in the US. We know what auditors ask for.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a drug and alcohol consortium as an owner-operator?

Yes. If you drive a CDL vehicle under your own USDOT number, 49 CFR Part 382 requires you to be in a random testing pool run by a consortium / third-party administrator (C/TPA). You cannot administer your own random program.

What does the consortium cost?

$180 a year for consortium management, $125 per driver per year for random testing, and $20 per driver once, for validation at enrollment. For 5 drivers the first year is $905, about $15.08 per driver per month.

When do I need a trip or fuel permit?

When a truck enters a state that is not on its registration, or runs without an IFTA licence, for a single trip. We order the permit before the truck reaches the line. See trip and fuel permits.

Is Profirm part of FMCSA or USDOT?

No. Profirm is a private compliance firm founded in 1988. FMCSA never charges for forms, never calls you to sell training, and does not endorse vendors.

Do you work with Canadian carriers too?

That is where we started. Profirm has kept Quebec and Ontario carriers compliant in the US since 1988. The consortium, IFTA, trip permits and training work the same way for a carrier based on either side of the border.
