Sharing Responsibility: Auto License Services Inc.
There are lots of great reasons to start a trucking business; standing in line at the DMV isn’t one of them. That’s why for over 20 years, Gradient has partnered with Auto License Services, an independent contractor for the Washington DMV. Together, we process commercial vehicle registrations and titles on behalf of our customers. Collaborative relationships with state entities are just one example of how Gradient acts as the best possible steward of transportation compliance for our clients.
“If I could wave a magic wand, I wish I could have more partners like Gradient — with a streamlined process and years of experience and knowledge. They’ve been around for a long time, so they’re very familiar with the processing and the paperwork that's required for their customers. That’s invaluable.”

VP of Auto License Services Inc.
The Need
Processing commercial registrations and titles is no simple task. Strict state regulations demand meticulous paperwork, and even minor errors can lead to rejections. For large-scale transactions, this means wasted time, multiple trips, and delays that disrupt operations. Working with a partner like Gradient helps to eliminate these inefficiencies.
“The state is very particular about paperwork. Even one small error and we can't process it — it has to be redone. For truckers far from home, that’s frustrating. Gradient has been doing this for so long that they know what to look for and catch errors before they happen.”

The Solution
Gradient’s streamlined process starts long before paperwork reaches Auto License Services. By submitting documents for pre-review, we ensure accuracy, identify potential issues, and address them early — saving time and avoiding delays. Whether managing massive fleet renewals or just a single transaction, that expertise and a proactive approach helps to ensure a smooth experience for all parties involved.
“Gradient is the only business that sends their paperwork in advance. We don’t require it, but when we're dealing with a huge fleet renewal with 200+ transactions, it makes a big difference. They’re so organized; it saves so much time and strain on my staff.”

The Result
Our attention to detail and commitment to collaboration have built a strong, trusted partnership with Auto Licenses Services. With deep industry knowledge, we ensure every process runs smoothly… but more importantly, as a family-owned company, we bring a personal touch to our work, creating connections that go beyond business and set us apart.
“Working with Gradient feels different. They’re professional, reliable, and kind… but it’s their personal touch that really stands out. They feel more like a family than a client. You can’t find that everywhere — especially not at a DMV.”
