Safety And DOT Compliance

Safety Compliance with Truck Wheels Expert
For many business owners, maintaining compliance with the Department of Transportation (DoT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSA) is a crucial aspect often burdened with paperwork. Keeping up with these regulations is challenging, but errors can lead to costly penalties. Thankfully, Truck Wheels Expert has your solution.

FMCSA/DoT Requirements and Beyond
Navigating DoT and FMCSA rules demands time and attention, with documentation and monitoring necessary, even for a 1-ton truck. Here are essential requirements to stay informed.

Driver Qualification
To employ drivers for interstate and intrastate loads, Driver Qualification Files are vital, including driving and employment history, road test certificate, violations certificate, and a three-year inquiry. These logs must be annually updated, with mandatory drug and alcohol testing under specific circumstances.

Truck ELD Requirements for Drivers Logs/ELogs for Truck Drivers

Since December 2019, complying with daily Hours of Service mandates using an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is mandatory. Monthly recaps and reports are crucial for corrective actions. ELogs are closely scrutinized by DoT inspectors, making accuracy imperative.

Other Requirements

DoT/FMCSA allows roadside safety and state mileage audits, state inspections, and IRP and IFTA audits. Truck Wheels Expert takes charge of these complexities, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
