GETTING IT WRONG ON THE ROAD
How do you know your employees are legal to drive? Do you have an effective plan to monitor their certifications and licenses? What records do you need to keep? For how long? Do you have any leased or loaned drivers? What are the requirements to use them?
These are questions that the DOT expects you to have the answers to. In fact, when you obtain a DOT number and begin to operate under the robust rule set that is the Code of Federal Regulation you are bound by 49 CFR 390.3(e)(1) which states:
"(1)Every employer shall be knowledgeable of and comply with all regulations contained in this subchapter that are applicable to that motor carrier's operations
(2) Every driver and employee involved in motor carrier operations shall be instructed regarding, and shall comply with, all applicable regulations contained in this subchapter.
(3) All motor vehicle equipment and accessories required by this chapter shall be maintained in compliance with all applicable performance and design criteria set forth in this subchapter."

Reading regulation doesn't bring in your clients, however complying with regulation allows you to operate - So the questions becomes - Would your time be better spent with clients rather than looking for those details?
