DOT Compliance Help

If you are looking for DOT compliance help, you may actually be looking for various types of assistance.

Perhaps you just became aware that your company has vehicles that are considered a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV), and your management needs specific training to determine what steps they need to take in order to be in compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and to prepare for an upcoming audit.

Or maybe you will soon be audited because your company has just applied for a DOT number, and you need to learn what to expect during the audit and how to prepare for it.

It may be that your company has already been audited and found to be "Conditional" or even "Unsatisfactory", in which case you need to develop a "Safety Management Plan" (SMP) so you can request an upgrade of the Safety Rating, based on actions taken.

Or it could be that you simply want a refresher course in what the DOT expects of you, and you want to see what new regulations or interpretations exist in today's industry.

Did you know that you do not have to be in the "Trucking" or "Transportation" industry to fall under the DOT regulations?  It's true!  We have many clients in many industries that are subject to the DOT and the FMCSR.  Industry examples are manufacturing, distributors, moving & warehousing, service providers, etc.  Many people think that if their drivers are not required to hold a CDL license, then their company is not subject to the DOT/FMCSR.  This is just NOT true.

A CMV could be only 10,001 pounds or more gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), determined by the manufacturer of the vehicle.  Sometimes the weight is less if hauling passengers or hazardous materials.
