Helping You Meet Compliance and Safety Goals
What Do We Offer?
With over 65 years combined experience in the Commercial Trucking Industry, we have worked both on the enforcement side and with the motor carriers helping them comply with both state & federal regulations. We know what state and federal officials are looking for and provide peace of mind and preparedness for the trucking industry.
When you partner with us, we put together a comprehensive plan and do regular audits, inspections, reviews, and training. This takes the headache and high cost out of trying to keep up with compliance and safety requirements.
The United States Department of Transportation has a checklist which all trucking companies must comply to. This includes obligations such as completing the right inspections and physical examinations, ensuring the driver carries compliance documents in the truck with them at all times, marking DOT numbers on the trucks and recording hours of service, and much more.
DOT safety standards help keep vehicle drivers and their shipment safe. Complying with the standards and regulations also guarantees safer trucks on the roads, failure to which your company could easily be put out of commission.
DOT compliance standards keep changing, and may even be different across state lines. A regular safety audit is the surest way to remain up to date with these standards. At Commercial Truck Consulting, we will make it our business to keep your company’s compliance records up to date and make sure you can do business all year round across all 50 states.

DOT Compliance is attached to both the vehicle and the driver. Sometimes the shipment is inspected too. Depending on the level of inspection, either one or both of the elements would be subjected to inspection when a vehicle is stopped on the road.
This is compliance by all commercial vehicle operators to the set list of rules and regulations governing all aspects of commercial vehicles for public safety as required by the United States Department of Transportation.
If your driver fails the DOT Inspection you will have to send another driver to take over the truck. If the vehicle is the one serious violation, then it could be put out of service. If the non-compliance is minor, the vehicle will either be repaired on site or towed to a place where repairs can be done.
DOT Compliance is aimed at maintaining safety for all road users. Being DOT Compliant also saves your company money that would be used in paying fines or money that would be lost if your operations had to be suspended for non-compliance.
