This course is designed as an overview of the regulations that affect your operation and compliance with Federal and State regulations. We will review the basics of DOT regulations, Compliance, Safety, Accountability(CSA), FMCSA’s Safety Management System (SMS), hours of service, vehicle maintenance, driver files, controlled substance/alcohol testing and related subjects.
Did you know your CSA rating and SMS can affect your insurance rates? Learn what affects those ratings and how to improve them.
Your questions on compliance will take center stage, and we will work through them to ensure you are comfortable with your compliance efforts. Fines and FMCSA orders of shutdown can be avoided many times with a basic understanding of the regulations.
If any carrier would like, we will look up your company records (using publicly available data) to better understand your current compliance situation and identify areas for improvement
