Meet The Founder

Jake Bauter

When you’re running a small fleet, the same person handling dispatch and keeping trucks on the road is often the one expected to get everything ready for a DOT audit. I started Compass to give that person someone to call.

I’ve spent more than a decade in commercial transportation, from driving Class A trucks and running a CDL testing business to leading safety and compliance for an operation with 4,000 drivers. I’ve built a nationwide driver training program, led internal DOT compliance reviews, and helped operating teams turn audit findings into changes they could manage day to day. I bring that same experience to a fleet with five trucks.

When you work with Compass, you work directly with me. I’ll tell you what I found, what I’d fix first, and what your team can do next. If you need someone to build the driver files, write the procedures, or help carry out the corrective actions, I can do that work with you.

Lets Talk.
