Built to Lead: How Eclipse DOT Turns Ordinary Companies into Unshakable Ones

Leadership isn’t about keeping the ship afloat.
It’s about steering through storms without losing direction.

And in the world of trucking and transport, the storm has a name: DOT Compliance.

It’s relentless. Complicated. And if you’re not prepared, it’ll test every part of your business—your systems, your people, and your sanity.

But the truth is, it doesn’t have to be this hard.

At EclipseDOT, we’ve spent years helping companies move from reaction to readiness—from sleepless nights to full confidence—and we’re ready to do the same for you.


The Hard Truth: Compliance Isn’t Paperwork—It’s Leadership

Everyone wants the easy version of leadership.
The kind where everything works, everyone shows up on time, and the FMCSA never calls.

But real leadership? It’s tested when the audit shows up early. When the inspector asks for a file you haven’t touched in months. When your safety manager quits the week before your review.

That’s when leadership stops being a title and becomes a responsibility.

Compliance isn’t about forms. It’s about trust.
Your drivers trust you to keep them legal.
Your customers trust you to keep them safe.
Your business depends on you getting it right.

That’s why EclipseDOT exists, not just to help you check boxes, but to teach you how to lead through them.


What Makes EclipseDOT Different

Anyone can hand you a checklist.
We hand you confidence.

Our mission is simple: make compliance effortless so leaders can actually lead.

We do it with a process built for people who don’t have time to babysit bureaucracy.

We Audit with Precision.
We don’t guess. We dig deep—just like a DOT inspector would—so you see the truth before they do.

We Simplify the Complex.
The regulations are written in legal code; we translate them into plain English. No jargon. No confusion. Just clarity you can act on.

We Train the Leaders Behind the Wheel.
Compliance doesn’t work without culture. We train your team to lead, think, and execute like professionals who own their roles.

We Digitize Everything.
With DOTDocs.com, your files live online, audit-ready, organized, and accessible anytime.

We Stay With You.
Because leadership is a journey, not a checklist. Regulations change—but your peace of mind shouldn’t.


The “I Thought We Were Fine” Trap

If we had a dollar for every time a business said,

“We thought we were fine,”
we’d own a fleet the size of Texas.

Good intentions don’t pass audits.
Systems do.

When your drivers’ medical cards are outdated, your maintenance files are incomplete, or your ELDT training isn’t properly documented, the DOT doesn’t care that you “did your best.”

They care that you’re compliant.

That’s where EclipseDOT becomes the difference between hoping and knowing.

We make sure that if you got audited tomorrow, you’d pass—with confidence, not crossed fingers.


The Train the Trainer ELDT Bootcamp — Chicago 2026

Now, let’s talk about the opportunity that changes everything.

If you’ve ever said,

“We should really start doing our own driver training,”
or
“I wish our team actually understood ELDT inside and out,”

then Chicago, January 2026 is your moment.

Our Train the Trainer ELDT Bootcamp isn’t just another class—it’s a transformation.
It’s where managers, safety directors, and fleet leaders learn to train and certify their own drivers in-house, the right way.

And we don’t mean sitting through endless PowerPoints.
We mean hands-on learning, real-world teaching, and practical mastery of FMCSA requirements.


What You’ll Learn (and Why It Matters)

Hands-On Certification Training
You’ll work side-by-side with the EclipseDOT team to understand, teach, and execute the FMCSA’s ELDT standards the right way—so your company can train drivers legally, effectively, and confidently.

Real Coaching from Real Experts
Led by Dan Greer and the Eclipse team, you’ll be taught by people who’ve been in the trenches—people who have built systems that hold up under real audits, not theories.

Your Complete ELDT Blueprint
You’ll walk away with a full system for creating, managing, and documenting your ELDT program—from your first student to full audit readiness.

Leadership Development
Because this isn’t just about compliance—it’s about leading with purpose. We’ll show your trainers how to motivate, coach, and communicate like leaders, not just instructors.


Why In-House Training Changes Everything

When you build your own ELDT program, you take control back.

You stop waiting on someone else’s schedule.
You stop paying someone else’s prices.
You stop handing your responsibility to a third party who doesn’t know your drivers, your equipment, or your culture.

Instead, you build a team that knows how to teach, test, and uphold your standards.

And when your drivers are trained by your own certified trainers, they don’t just learn the rules—they live them.

That’s what separates good companies from great ones.


The Results Speak for Themselves

Before EclipseDOT:
A construction company relied on outsourced trainers. Classes were delayed, files were incomplete, and their drivers weren’t ready for inspections.

After EclipseDOT:
We certified their in-house trainers through Bootcamp. Within weeks, they launched their own ELDT program.
Result: every driver trained on time, files perfect, and fines = $0.

Before EclipseDOT:
A logistics carrier failed an audit over driver file discrepancies and training documentation gaps.

After EclipseDOT:
We restructured their compliance program, trained their staff, and gave them DOTDocs.
Result: 100 percent audit pass the next year—and a team that now leads compliance instead of fearing it.


Leadership Starts Where Comfort Ends

Here’s the truth: most companies never reach their potential because they never get uncomfortable enough to change.

Leadership isn’t built in calm seas—it’s forged in the storm.

The Train the Trainer Bootcamp is that defining moment for your company.
It’s the pivot from reactive to proactive, from confusion to control, from hoping to knowing.

Because when your people are trained to lead, everything changes—your compliance, your confidence, your culture.


Why January 2026 Is More Than a Date

It’s a line in the sand.

This is your chance to take ownership of your compliance story before someone else writes it for you.

In three days, you’ll gain what most companies never achieve in three years:
⭐ A fully certified ELDT training team.
⭐ A repeatable, proven training process.
⭐ Total clarity on compliance expectations.
⭐ Systems that keep you audit-ready year-round.

That’s not hype. That’s preparation meeting purpose.


Dan Greer’s Challenge to Every Leader

“You can’t call yourself a leader if you’re still guessing.
Leadership means seeing what’s coming and preparing for it.
It means investing in your people before problems appear.
That’s why we built EclipseDOT. That’s why we run the Bootcamp.
Because you deserve to lead a company that’s not held back by chaos.”

Those words aren’t a pitch.
They’re a challenge—to every fleet owner, safety director, and business leader who’s tired of being reactive.

You’ve been leading through stress long enough.
Now it’s time to lead through strength.
