FMCSA Compliance Management: US Services
Can you confidently answer these questions?
Is at least one responsible official familiar with the FMCSR?
Do you have a driver safety/orientation program?
Do you review your safety compliance status on a regular basis?
Do you have a system to audit and control your drivers' hours of service?
Do you know if you need logbooks or just a time record?
Do you know how long records need to be retained and in what format?
Do you know what is required to be in compliance with the Transportation Safety
Administration, DOT, FMCSA, OSHA, Department of Homeland Security and other Federal Agencies?
AUDIT CONCERNS?
Don't gamble with your business. You may be in Non-Compliance and in Violation of Federal, State or Local Regulations and not even realize.
Every state has regulations governing Motor Carriers of Property, Household Goods and Passengers. This is in additional to Federal Regulations and possible Local Regulations.
Do not assume that just because you only operate one truck or a small fleet that you these regulations do not apply to you. Government Regulations apply no matter the size of the fleet or the number of shipments.
Annually businesses lose thousands of dollars due to fines for non-compliance. Due to the increased safeguarding efforts of our government, additional monies have been allocated to enforcement efforts. Raised awareness from Mother's Against Tired Truckers and similar action groups has gained the ear of many government agencies. This has spurred additional enforcement efforts in all areas. Do not be caught out in the cold. What many trucking companies could do just a few years ago are now costing them and their drivers.
