About Us

Mission

"Dispatch with Confidence" and "Lease with Confidence" are the Total Compliance Solutions LLC (TCS) mantra. TCS is a local company, founded by industry experts, to assist New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC)-licensed base owners and vehicle leasing companies to more intelligently and efficiently manage the risk of drivers and vehicles being dispatched. In response to business owners' concerns, TCS has developed a platform that provides bases and leasing companies with customized access to the TLC and DMV licensing status of their vehicle and driver fleets, as well as curated data on points, open summonses and street hail violations related to the base and to the vehicle owner.

The status that TLC reports for a driver’s or vehicle’s TLC or DMV license can change daily and without warning due to a variety of reasons, from a suspension, failure to renew, or even revocation. Many of these reasons can be easily cured, yet for the base or vehicle owner, the results of one of these licensees being dispatched without a valid license can be significant. TLC fines can total hundreds of dollars, not including legal fees, and Penalty Points accrued by the base or vehicle owner, can result in the revocation of the base’s or vehicle owner's license.

Why take chances that a driver or vehicle without a valid license might be dispatched, when for a low monthly fee, the TCS App automates checking TLC and DMV data for your base or leasing companieon a daily basis, and sends you a customized daily report? Save time and money, and don’t use valuable in-house staff to manually check this data any longer.
