The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) actively enforces compliance through inspections, audits, and investigations, with potential penalties for violations.
FMCSA regulations cover a wide range of areas including driver logs, vehicle maintenance records, driver qualification files, drug and alcohol testing, and hazardous materials handling.
Companies found violating DOT regulations can face significant fines, permit revocations, and even business closures.
Companies are assigned a Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) score based on their safety performance across various categories, which can trigger further scrutiny from the FMCSA.
The goal of these regulations is to prioritize road safety by ensuring commercial drivers and vehicles meet high standards.
