Our Services


Clear Answers. Practical Solutions. No Guesswork.

 

The Diesel Desk provides specialized consulting for owner operators, independent contractors and small fleets who need clarity around compliance, finances, equipment and contracts. We focus on what actually works in the real world, not theory.

Compliance & Regulatory Support

 

Because paperwork mistakes cost more than breakdowns.


We help you understand, correct and maintain compliance across provincial and federal requirements, including:

 

• CVOR compliance and record reviews

• IFTA setup, reporting and corrections

• GST/HST registration, filing and error resolution

• Independent contractor vs. employee risk review

• Carrier compliance support and documentation prep

• Audit preparation and response guidance

 

Outcome: Reduced risk, fewer surprises and defensible records if regulators come knocking.

Contract & Carrier Agreement Reviews

 

Know what you’re signing before it costs you.


Many drivers sign agreements they don’t fully understand until it’s too late. We review and break down:

  • Lease-to-never own and equipment agreements
  • Carrier contracts and pay structures
  • Fuel, insurance and deduction clauses
  • Termination, ownership and liability risks
  • “Too good to be true” arrangements

 

Outcome: You understand your obligations, your exposure and whether the deal actually benefits you.

Financial Oversight & Problem Solving

 

Find the leaks before they drain your business.


We help identify where money is being lost, misapplied or misunderstood:

  • Pay statement and settlement reviews
  • Expense and deduction analysis
  • GST/HST remittance errors and recovery support
  • Cash-flow clarity for owner operators
  • Independent review of accountant or bookkeeper output (because they make mistakes too)


Outcome: Better decisions, recovered funds where possible, and a clear financial picture you can trust.

Equipment & Diagnostic Advisory

 

Understanding the “computer that comes with the truck.”


Modern trucks are rolling data centers. We help you interpret what the equipment and diagnostics are actually telling you:

  • ECM and fault code interpretation (non-repair advisory)
  • Pattern analysis across repeated failures
  • Wiring, sensor and system-level issue identification
  • Repair history reviews to prevent repeat costs
  • Buying advice for used equipment with hidden electronic risks

 

Outcome: Fewer unnecessary repairs, better conversations with shops and informed decisions before spending tens of thousands.
