About X3 Fleet Safety

DOT compliance built from the driver's seat.

X3 Fleet Safety helps small-to-mid motor carriers (1–100+ power units) stay audit-ready without a full-time safety department. We pair a modern compliance platform with hands-on advisor support — so when an investigator calls, a human picks up.

Our Mission

Turn compliance from an anxiety into an advantage.

Every DOT audit finding, every FMCSA violation, every roadside OOS hit — they all cost money, insurance premiums, and CSA points. But most carriers under 100 trucks can't afford a dedicated safety director. X3 fills that gap with a full-service platform plus expert advisor retainer, for one predictable monthly fee.

What We Do

  • Driver Qualification Files — DQ file tracking, expiring doc alerts, digital storage per 49 CFR 391.51
  • Hours of Service — ELD integration, HOS violation tracking, audit-ready logs per Part 395
  • Drug & Alcohol — Clearinghouse queries, random pool management, test ordering, MRO workflow
  • MVR Monitoring — Continuous license monitoring via SambaSafety partnership across all 50 states
  • Roadside Inspections — Inspection tracking, DataQ challenge workflow, CSA BASIC impact analysis
  • Incidents & Crashes — Accident register, preventability determination, post-accident testing
  • Safety Scorecards — Auto-computed driver performance scoring with coaching workflow
  • Expert Support — On-demand advisor access when auditors call

How We're Different

🚛 Built by operators

We've been the internal safety director. We know the 3 a.m. roadside-inspection call. The software is shaped by that experience, not by MBAs.

📍 Great Lakes basis

Headquartered in Howell, Michigan — same-day drive access to Detroit, Lansing, Toledo, and the I-75/I-94/I-96 freight corridor. Zero travel cost for on-site audit representation within 250 miles.

🛡️ Full-service, not just software

Most compliance tools are software-only. X3 bundles the platform with expert advisor retainer — so when something actually happens, a human picks up.

💬 AI, where it helps

We use AI to summarize audits, pre-fill forms, and surface regulatory risk — never to replace the human judgment an FMCSA auditor expects.

The Team

JK

Joshua Kovarik

Senior Safety Advisor

Joshua brings 25+ years leading transportation safety programs, with FMCSA and DOT compliance as his home turf. He's built and rebuilt fleet safety systems across LTL, truckload, and supply chain operations — driver qualification files, accident investigation, training programs, CSA score management, drug and alcohol testing, and the long grind of getting carriers audit-ready.

Most of what he knows came from the operator side. He spent years inside mid-sized carriers as a senior safety leader, where the compliance work was urgent and the compliance budget wasn't.

Joshua lives in Howell, Michigan. X3 Fleet Safety was created to be the compliance platform he wished he'd had when he was the one running programs himself.
