Trucking & LogisticsRegulatory Compliance & Enforcement5CriticalOwner (Small Carrier)$ implied

DOT officers fabricate violations during inspections, forcing small trucking companies to accept unfair citations or face disputes they cannot win, threatening their business survival.

No practical system exists to independently verify or dispute DOT inspection violations in real time, and the dispute process relies on the same officer who issued the citation.

One-tap audio/video recording with timestamp and GPS
Photograph documentation of vehicle components (tires, hoses, lights) with annotation
Automated pre-inspection checklist to prove compliance before inspection
Secure blockchain-anchored evidence vault for dispute submission
Dashboard to track inspection history and identify targeting patterns

Target Users: Owner-operators and small trucking carriers (1-10 trucks) in the US trucking industry

Revenue Model: Freemium with $29/mo per truck for evidence vault and dispute toolkit, or $99/mo per company for unlimited trucks
