Understanding FMCSA & DOT Compliance

Understanding FMCSA & DOT Compliance
Navigating the trucking industry requires more than just keeping wheels on the road — it demands strict adherence to safety and regulatory standards set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT). These guidelines cover everything from driver qualifications and hours-of-service limits to vehicle maintenance and recordkeeping. Staying compliant not only helps avoid costly fines and operational disruptions but also ensures the safety of drivers, cargo, and the public.
