Transportation compliance may not seem important in construction work, but it matters. The rules protect you, your team, and your equipment. It is important to make sure your vehicles are registered correctly and kept in good shape. You also need to ensure your drivers are qualified and can operate your large vehicles. It is not just about following rules. It is about keeping everyone safe and making the job go smoother.
