DOT Compliance Seminar

October 8, 2026 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (EDT)

Description


DOT Compliance Seminar

Build a strong foundation in DOT compliance with this comprehensive course designed to help motor carriers understand and apply the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). Rather than simply reviewing regulations, this course explains how compliance systems work together in day-to-day fleet operations and how enforcement agencies evaluate carrier safety programs during audits and investigations.

Participants will gain a practical understanding of FMCSA requirements, CSA, Hours-of-Service, vehicle maintenance, driver qualification files, drug and alcohol testing, the Clearinghouse, and the core compliance areas that impact a carrier's safety rating.

What You'll Learn

  • The structure and mission of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
  • Which carriers are subject to the FMCSRs and Hazardous Materials Regulations
  • How the CSA program and Safety Measurement System (SMS) evaluate carrier performance
  • The seven BASIC categories and intervention thresholds
  • Hours-of-Service compliance requirements
  • Vehicle maintenance requirements under Parts 393 and 396
  • Driver Qualification File (DQF) requirements under Part 391
  • Drug and alcohol testing requirements under Part 382
  • FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse requirements
  • New Entrant Safety Assurance Program requirements
  • How roadside inspections, audits, and enforcement actions affect carrier compliance

Practical Application

This course goes beyond explaining the regulations by demonstrating how compliance systems interact across an organization. Participants will learn how documentation, maintenance, driver qualification, Hours-of-Service, and drug and alcohol programs work together to determine a carrier's overall compliance posture.

The training emphasizes real-world application, helping attendees understand how regulators identify deficiencies, evaluate management controls, and determine whether a carrier has an effective safety program in place.

Who Should Attend?

This course is ideal for:

  • Safety directors and safety managers
  • Company owners and executives
  • Dispatch supervisors
  • HR professionals involved in driver hiring
  • Compliance personnel
  • New entrant motor carriers
  • Anyone responsible for DOT compliance within their organization

Course Format

This interactive seminar combines regulatory guidance with practical examples to help participants better understand their compliance responsibilities. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of DOT compliance requirements, improved audit readiness, and practical tools they can apply immediately within their organization.

✅ You will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the seminar!


This training is offered in partnership with Compliance Navigation Specialists (CNS).
