Testimonials
The main reason why we chose J. J. Keller was their 60+ years in the industry and the experience. We have significant amount of proof that you guys are the subject-matters experts with the DOT. Some of the mock DOT audits, resources and training capabilities were available to all of our communities very quickly. J. J. Keller is really a one-stop shop for everything.
The consultants arrived in a timely manner, conducted the audits in a professional way, worked well with our staff and were able to condense the information they gathered into reports that were well put together and easy to understand. We are not experts in this area and relied heavily on our consultants.
One thing I would recommend for new clients is to focus on the DOT mock audits, so you know what to focus on to pass a DOT audit. These are really helpful to identify where your gaps are and what you need to focus on improving, so you can be prepared to pass a DOT inspection.
J. J. Keller does a good job for me. I have used your services for a long time and always have a good experience.
We'll keep your employees safe, protect your brand, and make regulations manageable. Learn more today by filling out this form or by calling
