## Core Services

### Government Freight Program Readiness Consulting
We help trucking companies prepare their operations for participation in government freight programs and high-security freight environments. This includes operational readiness assessments, compliance gap analysis with execution roadmaps, documentation standards and internal workflows, and administrative and compliance structure setup. Participation and eligibility decisions are made by external program administrators. Cranton provides preparation and advisory support only.

### White-Label ELD & Compliance Platform Consulting
Most large ELD brands operate shared platforms used by thousands of carriers with widely different compliance standards. This creates exposure to bad-actor behavior, cost inefficiency at scale, and lack of system control. Cranton provides consulting on ELD and compliance platform structuring, workflow and behavioral system design, and white-label deployment guidance. With a branded platform, companies can reduce ELD-related costs by 50% or more, control onboarding and training, define compliance behavior and escalation rules, and align systems to internal standards. Cranton does not sell ELD hardware and does not guarantee compliance outcomes.

### Administration & Operations Setup (48-State U.S.)
We help logistics and transportation companies set up and structure U.S. operations designed to support government freight programs from day one. This includes company structure and entity coordination (operating companies vs holding structures, multi-entity and multi-state coordination), operational and administrative foundation (internal SOPs, role and responsibility structure, documentation standards), payment processing and financial operations (payment processing structure design, merchant account and processor selection guidance, revenue flow separation across entities), and systems and platform alignment (ELD and compliance platform alignment, admin dashboards and access hierarchy, driver and client onboarding workflows). Cranton provides consulting and coordination support only. Legal, tax, and accounting services are performed by licensed professionals selected by the client.
