DOT & Safety Compliance

April 19, 2021

Compliance Management

Keeping up with US Department of Transportation (DOT) and safety compliance requirements can be a challenge for even the most organized of fleet managers. The vast assortment of documents needed to manage driver qualification, Hours of Service (HOS), vehicle inspections, Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) records, roadside and accident reports, and more, can lead to gaps in record keeping and exposure to risk. The cost of failing an audit is prohibitive; however, it is minor compared to the cost of accident litigation due to non-compliant documentation. The solution to proactively managing DOT and safety compliance risk is to talk to Fleetworthy Solutions in advance. At Fleetworthy, we give you the power of intelligent compliance, offering visibility and control over your fleet to streamline processes, reduce risk, and improve profitability.
