Given the sheer volume of records that motor carriers are expected to maintain to ensure their drivers are fully qualified, it’s no wonder that mistakes can happen. When they do, it can lead to claims by a lawyer or an auditor that an unqualified driver was behind the wheel of a regulated vehicle, which can have serious consequences for the driver and company. Your driver qualification (DQ) files and the Safety Management Controls you have in place to ensure your drivers are fully qualified at all times will be closely scrutinized during a DOT audit. Violations can result in fines, a lowered safety rating, and higher scores in the Driver Fitness BASIC. This webcast will help you prepare for, and even avoid, a DOT audit of your driver qualification records and practices.

However, due to a requirement in the ELD mandate rule, carriers MUST deal with it!

Employee training is required by a number of regulations, but spending time and resources to provide training in non-mandatory topics can help better protect your employees and your company. Satisfying any compliance obligation is important, but your overall goal should be ensuring the safety, welfare, and productivity of your workers. Most mandated training helps employees protect themselves and avoid hazards, but training in additional areas (even if not required) helps protect your business as well. Topics to be covered include: •Walking-Working Surfaces •Bloodborne pathogens (BBP) •Sexual Harassment •Bullying •Active Shooter •Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and Hours of Service •Drug & Alcohol programs You'll walk away from this event knowing who should receive training, when training should (or must) be provided, and why providing that training is important.

During this webcast we will discuss the daily inspections a driver must conduct, when they are to be conducted, and any documentation that is required by the regulations. As part of this webcast we also take a close look at the DVIR process, from the driver completing the form to the carrier putting it in the filing cabinet. In addition to discussing the regulations, we will discuss best practices related to when inspections should be done, what should be checked during each inspection, what actions are to be taken if a defect is found during any inspection, and the consequences of the driver not conducting thorough vehicle inspections. Finally, we will look at mechanism a carrier can put in place to verify that drivers are conducting the required inspections.

A key to minimizing hours of service and electronic log-related violations is training or updating your drivers and operations personnel on current HOS regulations and exceptions. This webcast will review the latest requirements in the following areas: •Hours of service limits for property-carrying drivers •Form/manner and supporting document requirements for electronic and paper logs •The 100 and 150 air-mile radius exceptions •Other “popular” exceptions since the electronic logging mandate started •Key differences between AOBRDs and ELDs We will also save time for a Q&A session!

Carrier registration goes well beyond registering with the FMCSA and obtaining a USDOT number. Some for-hire carriers are also required to have authority. States can also require carriers - even private carriers - to obtain authority to engage in intrastate transportation. Getting all the right boxes checked can be overwhelming. During this webcast we'll discuss the different types of authority, who needs authority to operate, what's required to obtain authority, what else is required when a carrier is for-hire, and the consequences of not having the proper authorities in place. In addition, we'll take a look at some other registration programs tied to authority, namely Unified Carrier Registration (UCR), the Unified Registration System (URS), and hazardous material registrations. Join us for this informative and engaging webcast. Together, we’ll make sure that you stay on the straight and narrow.
