Why is DOT compliance for trucking companies important?
DOT compliance helps ensure the safety of your drivers and all other people on the road. Failure to comply with DOT regulations can result in penalties, and even prevent your company from conducting core business operations.
Businesses and drivers that aren’t DOT compliant increase their liability and risk. Most insurance claims are void in cases where businesses, vehicles, or drivers fail to meet DOT regulations. Failure to maintain current compliance can also take drivers off the road and result in lost jobs.
