DOT AND FMCSA COMPLIANCE

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is the federal agency responsible for protecting the traveling public and keeping the country’s transportation system safe. One way the DOT accomplishes its mission is by ensuring that transportation employees in safety-sensitive positions — such as the operators of planes, trains and buses — are not using drugs or alcohol on the job. “DOT compliance” means that the employer of safety-sensitive employees is maintaining the required employee drug and alcohol testing programs. Through its drug and alcohol consortium, Traffix Inc. offers small business CDL drivers a hassle free answer to mandatory drug and alcohol testing.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is a subset of the U.S. Department of Transportation that sets out to prevent commercial motor vehicle-related fatalities and injuries. The administration ensures safety in motor carrier operations, such as with moving companies. In order to keep your business in compliance with FMCSA we offer monitoring of vehicle maintenance and inspection files. Monitoring of documentation such as medical cards and drivers licenses is also provided to ensure all files are up to date.
