Terms, privacy, and important notices.

Who we are

Kingpin Compliance is a brand of ESPIRITUS ARTESENALES LLC, an Illinois limited liability company. The legal or assumed name may be updated. Contact: jb@kingpincompliance.com. We are not affiliated with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Internal Revenue Service, or any agency of the State of Illinois.

Not legal advice

The website, reports, drafts, and calendars are administrative and educational. We are not a law firm. Nothing here is a legal opinion. You should consult your own attorney and tax advisor. You remain responsible for compliance with federal and state motor-carrier, tax, and employment rules.

Not a drug-testing service agent

We are not a consortium, C/TPA, collector, or laboratory, and we do not act as a DOT drug-and-alcohol service agent. When a testing program is needed, we refer you to an established provider that you hire directly. We do not want test results sent to us unless counsel later says a specific, signed consent and a documented role require it.

Website terms (draft)

You may use this site to learn about the service and to request a conversation or a free DOT Checkup. Do not rely on a checkup or any web page as a complete compliance review. Information may be incomplete or out of date, including during FMCSA’s Motus transition and the temporary suspension of enforcement for MCS-150 biennial updates due on or after June 1, 2026.

A paid engagement starts only when both sides sign a service agreement and the first invoice is accepted. This site does not process payments.

Privacy (draft)

If you use the contact form or email us, we collect the information you submit (typically name, company, USDOT number, email, phone, truck count, and your message) to respond and, if you enroll, to deliver the service. We do not sell personal information.

Do not send Social Security numbers, driver’s license images, medical information, or drug-or-alcohol test results through the public form. If a client later uploads qualification or tax records, those are stored with access limited to people who need them for the engagement, retained only as long as the federal rules and the service agreement require, and deleted or returned at the end of that period after a human review.

Under the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (815 ILCS 530), certain combinations of name and personal information trigger a duty to notify Illinois residents of a breach without unreasonable delay. We will follow that law and our incident plan.

The public form currently does not transmit data to a server until a form service is connected. When that happens, this page will name the processor.

Email and texts

Transactional and service email is sent only to people who requested a checkup, started an enrollment, or are clients. Marketing email, if any, will follow the CAN-SPAM Act. We will not send automated marketing texts or place automated marketing calls without the consent the law requires.

Trademarks and names

Kingpin Compliance is the chosen brand. Pre-Trip Compliance and Plumb Line Fleet were considered as alternates. An informal USPTO and web search was done November 12, 2026; it is not a formal trademark clearance. Illinois assumed-name availability has not been confirmed. Third-party names (FMCSA, Motus, Login.gov, and others) belong to their owners.

Governing law

These website terms are intended to be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without a conflict-of-law rule that would point somewhere else. Venue will be discussed with counsel (likely a court in Kane County, Illinois).

Last updated for this draft: November 12, 2026 (America/Chicago). Replace this date when counsel approves a publishable version.
