Alyce Rinehart
Founder & Safety Compliance Specialist

Alyce Rinehart brings over 30 years of deep expertise to trucking safety and compliance — including her tenure as a Safety Specialist with the FMCSA, where she worked directly within the agency responsible for enforcing the regulations she now helps carriers navigate. That insider perspective is something no textbook can replicate.

Today, Alyce is recognized not only as a compliance consultant but also as an Expert Witness in transportation legal cases — called upon by attorneys to provide authoritative testimony on federal regulations, industry standards, and carrier liability. Her unique command of both sides — Compliance (the federal and state regulations) and Safety (industry standards and best practices) — makes her one of the most well-rounded specialists in the field.

Based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, Alyce and her team work hands-on with carriers of all sizes — from owner-operators to large regional fleets — providing the expertise, documentation, and peace of mind that only 30+ years at the heart of this industry can deliver.

"I have worked inside the FMCSA and I have worked for carriers. I know what inspectors look for, I know what attorneys argue, and I know what it takes to keep your fleet safe, legal, and moving."

"Rinehart kept us out of a major DOT violation that could have shut us down. Alyce knows this industry inside and out — she caught issues in our DQ files that we had no idea about. We've been with her for 6 years and wouldn't trust anyone else with our compliance."
